Post Your Desktop

I always liked seeing what others had on their desktop, this is mine.

 

Happy Independence Day.

 

WOW, I love your desktop GT, its awesome;-)

 

A bit sad I'm using the wallpaper i made myself.. but hey.. ive not been bothered to change it for a while.

 

damn, this took long, had to download PowerToys, resize it... lots of work

 

You're welcome to it. It's a small picture, only 480x384, but since it's all soft edges, it scales well onscreen.

 

Thanks GT, I appreciate it, did you make it yourself?

 

Nah. I'm not that artistic. Somebody took the F-14 image, which was full screen picture over water, which I also have, and superimposed it over the country/flag background. I like it too.

 

This is mine.. made it last week when my relationship started to go bad, to keep my mind off things - turning a negative into a positive. And I'm rather proud of it. Now everything I ever hoped or wanted has been obliterated so I should draw something else and see what i come up with so I don't wallow in misery any longer.

 

This is going to sound SOoooooo bad for me because I know a fair bit about computers but how do you take a screen shot of your desk top?

 

Wenchie, that is awesome, everytime I see something that you have done I am blown away.
Things will get better for you but sometimes wallowing is good, at least for a while.
Life can be crap sometimes but I love what you turn it into.

printscreen puts it into your clipboard, and then you paste it into paintshop, or a similar prog.

Maybe CTL-Printscreen, I forget now.

 

Ctrl-printscrn does the active window *I THINK*

 

just click printscreen(PrtScn) its on your keyboard, then open photoshop or another paint program and click edit and paste it.

 

Thanks got it. This is my pride and joy my grandson hes the greatest.

 

Some castle in Europe somewhere>>>

 

And Wenchie has another adoring fan (I am one also.) I would love to know how you did the tool bar on the top, Wenchie. With mine, I just put my desktop as a 2nd tool bar, always on top & always hidden, small icons with short descriptions. The desktop tool bar disappears until I move my cursor over it.

Peace all,
Gina

 

1. Ginanatl:thats not a desktop, but a winamp skin. one of the best skins in my opinion. called mmd3.
2.Spaz: you allways have the coolest visual styles. whats your latest one? i love it!

 

Thanks Dan, I'll look it up.

I like Spaz's desktop too. I like the idea of hiding my desktop items so I can have more of a "picture" to look at.

Peace,
Gina

 

Thanks Dan and Gin...
The VS is actually an old one that I discovered I didn't give a real chance the first time I tried it. I have a tone of them I dl and never really look at. Hmm. .lemme see if I can find the link to it..



Aha! here it is.

::edit - oh but the wallpaper is one I made by modifying one I already I had::

 

Newest one



cooked

 

Yeah, that my winamp. it rocks.

thats why i put everything in the start menu and deleted ALL those icons. i hate icons, they BUG me

 

here. . . . .

 

jarcher your desktop scares me!

 

Mine ....

 

My current desktop...

 

heres one used to have
it moves but it takes to much to use

 

Mine..

 

I LOVE this picture.

 

grrrr...even with the search button, i cant find the link i was looking for- i want to post mine, really I do, but my printscreen key doesnt work (dont know why) and I THOUGHT i saw some sort of other directions to be able to copy the image (no photoshop)....guess I'll keep trying...

 

I figured.. I changed mine...

 

what a lovely family!!!!!!!!!! you are so blessed!!!!

 

You're beautiful Wenchie

 

guess I'll just post the photo of what i have...grrrrr

 

debbie,
Last time we did this there was a post on how to do it (I used it), there was also a post about how to make Paint save your pic as a jpg instead of a bitmap. I tried to post my new one yesterday but it said it was too big, not sure why. Do a search on "post your desktop", it should come up.

 

i used that as my keyword for the search- cause i remember seeing that link- but still cant find it! i found MG's print screen thing, but since that key doesnt work (for some reason) cant use that- cause that would have been easy...if I am remembering right it was some sort of program or something....


and apparatnly i need to fix the link to my pic...lol

at least i know how to do that! lol

 

If you <prt scr> you can paste your desktop into Wordpad. Then save it in a format that you can open up with IE and save as your desktop.

::edit - oops, just saw that you said your <prt scr> is broken... sry::

 

well, i must have been doing SOMETHING wrong- i was trying to paste it directly into iranfview (whatever its called) paint worke! Thanks!


hope its not too big...

 

Debbie its so tiny.... what exactly are you doing?

 

Debbie, also you don't have to put your picture on a image hosting site for it to be uploaded on MG. You can just upload it from your computer.

 

debbie, it's about 7 pages back in the lounge.
I copied these from there, I remember that the one human site is very good.
