Split Your Desktop into Virtual Work Areas

maxto-screenshot Short of taking a chainsaw to your monitor, all Evil Dead like, there aren’t a lot of good ways to split it up into multiple regions to make working an organized experience. Thanks to Ryan over at Cybernetnews.com I can put my chainsaw away, and get to using MaxTo. MaxTo will help you split your current monitor into virtual regions, that can serve as a constraint when maximizing windows.

Once you install it, the setup is pretty easy to understand. You just setup how you want you desktop to be split, hit the OK button and it is done. If you find yourself overwhelmed by having too many programs or windows floating around your desktop – give MaxTo a shot. Previously I had been doing this same type of desktop reorganization on my own, but MaxTo does it for me – and in turn saves me a lot of tweaking time.

Download de Desktop Icon of de Blob

Mar/03 in Custom Icons, Desktop

One of the most unique games I have played via my Wii in the past few months was de Blob.

A kind of platforming puzzle experience, the game allows you to explore, and be creative all over the place. The main character of de Blob though is just awesome. With that said, I thought I would feature him, her… it? Confusing aside, here is a desktop icon free for you to use, download, share or paint any color you wish.

Download the de Blob Icon (.zip)

The icon is compatible with the following sizes: 256 x 256, 128 x 128, 64 x 64, 48 x 48, 32 x 32, 24 x 24, 16 x 16. It is also in both .ico and .png formats.

Desktop Icons from Mario’s Junk Drawer

Feb/03 in Custom Icons, Desktop

Ever wonder what things might be kept in Super Mario’s junk drawer. For us, it is old extension cords, and screws that have fallen out of things that we never even knew we had. We have old batteries and super glue. What would the Mushroom Kingdom’s favorite plumber have?

Here is what I would imagine would be at the bottom of Mario’s own junk drawer.

Donkey Kong’s Big Banana is on Your Desktop

Jan/20 in Custom Icons, Desktop

Ok, the bananas alone are annoying enough in the various Mario Kart games, why do we need a giant one? We don’t. Now common sense would tell you, the bigger ones are easier to miss. They aren’t.

Stupid Blue Spiky Shell Desktop Icon

Jan/12 in Custom Icons, Desktop

Playing Mario Kart Wii, there is one power up we all hate, well if you are in first place anyways. However, it does have a cool look and feel to it – so why not turn it into a desktop icon? If you have never had your first place spot stolen by the stupid blue spiky shell before – you do not know what frustration is.

Looking to work through my anger with art, here is the blue spiky shell desktop icon:

Rivers of Wallpaper

Jan/08 in Desktop, Free Wallpaper

Here is a recent wallpaper series that caught my eye, Graphite River, Green River, Red River and Blue River. I am currently using the Green River wallpaper on my desktop.

Click the color you want, to be taken to the download page for that wallpaper selection.

I really enjoy all of the wallpaper selections on VladStudio.com, but these more recent ones really won me over due to the fact that they are simple – yet still look good on anybody’s desktop. If you want the higher quality versions, you could always register too (I did, a while back) and pay a small fee for some great desktop artwork.

Bubble Wrap Wallpaper

Dec/30 in Desktop, Free Wallpaper

It has been a while since I shared my wallpaper of choice with you all – and this time I do have a good one. How could you say, “No!” to wallpaper that looks like bubble wrap?

That’s right – you can’t. It is just so perfect, yet so simple. The only thing you have to worry about now is keeping people from touching your screen.

You know you feel the urge to pop some bubbles too!

Pick up this wallpaper for yourself at many different screen resolutions at Mandolux.

Link is Here to Save my Desktop

Dec/24 in Custom Icons

The Legend of Zelda and Christmas always seem to go together for me. Think it has to do with the fact that the most memorable Christmas I have is when I got The Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past for Christmas as a kid. So what better way to celebrate that special tingly feeling the game series gives me than to do another custom icon creation.

+ Download the Link Desktop Icon! (.zip)

Hope you enjoy both of these very special icons. The icons are compatible with the following sizes: 256 x 256, 128 x 128, 64 x 64, 48 x 48, 32 x 32, 24 x 24, 16 x 16. It is also in both .ico and .png format.
