Post your deskthority header images here

I see the ducks have already made it to the header. Nice.

I like Halvar's beamspring profile. Muirium, your beamspring photo is nice, but that chipped "6" key disturbs me every time I see it. Oh, the tragedy.

Muirium · 27 Sep 2014, 17:23

Thanks Halvar, that's a nice wee batch of new pics already.

The anguish of my chipped keys is only soothed by the second 3276 heading to me (via my brother…) from Texas right now. Next time I pay him a visit, I won't have to suffer a decline in keyboards when I'm over!

I like where you're going. And I trust that you shot that photograph back in the day, of course!

mr_a500 · 27 Sep 2014, 18:40

Well, of course. I remember it perfectly. It was a day back in 1967 when everything suddenly went black & white. Strangely, the walls stayed blue.

Muirium · 27 Sep 2014, 18:40

Check back in 20…

siiC · 27 Sep 2014, 18:42

Any feedback and yes / no on the updated pictures I posted, Muirium?

Muirium · 27 Sep 2014, 18:45

Well, you have these to beat:

I'm reffering to these, what do I need to enhance?

Halvar · 27 Sep 2014, 19:18

I like the first one with the brown switch, I think it should be included, also for the sake of balance between vintage and contemporary headers. Works very well as a header.

The second one I find a bit boring and the texture and legends on the keycaps don't look that great. These are keycaps where the plastic was painted for the legends to look good illuminated, but this doesn't come out in the picture.

On the third one I like the motive, but for it to work as a DT header the switches are too near to the logo and the keys on the right hand side can't be totally out of focus because they have a lot of emphasis on them when the picture is used as a header.

Muirium · 27 Sep 2014, 19:56

Yup, what he said. Also, every banner has to be notable in a way. If you look at the list you'll see a lot of variety. Very few keyboards are featured more than once, and they're something special, like the Honeywell. (My pictures, Webwit's choice, yes they're staying…)

Very, very nice! It just fits perfect to DT.

Sad to see my Nixdorf one go T_T

Muirium · 27 Sep 2014, 23:40

Check again. I always liked that one. Oddly enough, Snoopy's black Kishsaver I added today was marked as inactive when I checked just now. I might be doing it wrong.

But 7bit's favourite is staying, too!

snoopy · 28 Sep 2014, 00:10

I would be very happy to see my Kish in the header one day.

Muirium · 28 Sep 2014, 00:14

Check in an hour! It's next.

In honour of Paranoid's retirement from the fancy cable business. I do like me a bit of fancy cable…

Number 1 or 4 looks best to me. What do you think?

chzel · 28 Sep 2014, 14:01

I Like the second more!
IMHO in the first the connectors are too much in the center!

Muirium · 28 Sep 2014, 14:02

Yeah, it's a tricky art getting things to line up. I'm leaning to #4 now though… (with ultimate power comes ultimate "Apply Now"!)

mr_a500 · 28 Sep 2014, 19:17

Nice cables.

That purple "My Little Kishsaver" header annoys me. When the header switches to something else, I breathe a sigh of relief.

Muirium · 28 Sep 2014, 19:18

It won't be there forever. Nothing in life is eternal. Besides for My Little Pony.

mr_a500 · 28 Sep 2014, 19:37

I bet you're one of those "bronies"... or in this case, "brishies".

Muirium · 28 Sep 2014, 20:21

Every Kishsaver is magical. It just doesn't know it yet…

Methinks Muirium should cut back on the Brylcreem.

mr_a500 · 01 Oct 2014, 00:28

Never! The more Brylcreem the better, I say.

The header still matt3o caps

Brylcreem? Hmm… I haven't the hair for it. Add a hat!

Seeing as Snoopy's showing off his Necronomicon…
