It feels like I'm keeping a tamagotchi who's an expert in Japanese humor and clearing your memory cache.

where can i get desktop helpers?

That program is called ssp (Sakura Script Player), isn't it?

I think I have the Chinese version and a few personalities lying around on my hard drive.

Though, I don't know where the site that I got them from went... seems to be gone or moved without me knowing.

EDIT:
Since I'm here, might as well post my notebook's desktop. Just found this wallpaper today. It's Serizawa from Pani Poni Dash! Works great because it's more square than your standard monitor resolutions. This is key for ease of use in both portrait and landscape modes. ^_^;

I'll try to explain about Ukagaka(materia) here. I feel like I'll end up writing something long and silly.

First of all, these "Desktop Mascot Characters" are called "ghosts", and the software used to run them are called "ghost platforms".

The original ghost platform is called Ukagaka 伺か. However, updates for this software has ceased for a few years now. (But if you liked Sakura (my ghost), you'll still want to get this because she comes with it).

Currently, the two major ghost platforms are CROW and SSP. Among those, SSP seems to be the most up-to-date and developed.

All the platforms are designed to be compatible with all ghosts (for example, you can take Sakura from Ukagaka and run her with SSP). However, some ghosts only work on specific platforms (usually SSP).

For transfers between platforms, since all platforms share the same folder structure, you can just drag the folder that contains the ghost from the "ghost" folder from one platform into another platform's "ghost" folder.

You can browse for new ghosts at places like Ghost Town or 何かゴーストセンター.

Ghosts can also be equipped with additional shells, which is basically like clothing to them.

Another ghost I like is Futaba, who, for some reason, recognizes Sakura when I switched between the two ghosts, and calls her "stepsister". I was like "huh?" So a little researching revealed that Futaba was actually the second default character for Ukagaka (Sakura was first) until a redesigned Sakura took over again (as the "third ghost") before Futaba was fully developed. So someone named (完) asked for permission and took over the development of Futaba as a ghost. So technically, Futaba and Sakura are "stepsisters". Futaba gained a ton of popularity because she was an "incomplete, discarded ghost" who received a second chance at life(?) (Futaba won the ghost moe tournament too, apprantely ^^; ). Someone even made a Shell dress that matches Sakura's for Futaba.

Installation of new ghosts/shells is easy, just drag and drop the downloaded .nar file onto the character, and they'll install for you. (For shells, drop it onto the ghost that it's made for, otherwise:

Sakura: "Ah. Give this to Futaba in person."
Unyuu: "Because Futaba will snap and blow away the HDD if we opened this on our own, you know.")

Yes, DRAMA in your desktop helpers.

Don't know where this girl came from but happened to met her beside the information super highway.

So I took her down from the internet and keep nicely on my desktop. ^_^

Guys, it's post your cluttered and/or modded desktop, not your wallpaper source.

**EDIT**

Changed it already, from red to red-black. Perhaps not exactly to my taste, red sky feeling a bit uninspiring, but the wally is pretty good anyway :/

Lambda · 2006-02-06, 18:41

About time I did this.

Spoiler:

Most of the desktops are fixed images, but I rotate all my wallpapers on desktop 7 and loads of randomly chosen images on desktop 6. The bar at the top gets covered by maximised applications, normal access to everything is from various menus at the bottom left. Or just type it into the command box.
