Large view (http://www.petemc.net/images/desktoplg.jpg).

I'll try and clean up my Windows box and post that too, just to balance each side. I always customize both computers. Little hobby of mine.

My not-particularly-shiny desktop. The wallpaper has a nasty tendancy to swallow up icons making them impossible to find // spot, but I really like the image :)

[hypnotic]

Okay, for those thicko's among us ..... How do we get a pic of our desktop? :D

[Hacker]

Hit Ctrl and Print Screen together, go to Paint and then Ctrl V to paste into there, save as JPEG and then the usual....

[petemc]

whiteflyer, who is that?

My spidey sense is telling me that its Uncle Earl. A band of sorts.

[whiteflyer]

petemc knows how to use the right click button on a mouse :lol:

Yes Uncle Earl (http://www.uncleearl.net/) old time bluegrass band, the wallpaper I made from a few shots I took at a gig this year.

Mac user in right click shocker! :eek:

[noah]

noah, what are the things you have top right, little monitor thing, then 3% and 7% what are those?
it's a plugin called menu meters. lets you have cpu, mem, disk or network usage on the bar. i keep it there as it also shows up-time when clicked on and gives a shortcut to activity monitor.

[Waterworx]

God, I'm so boring (currently looking for a decent pic) anything to get rid of the crappy 'bliss' XP desktop image :(

[noah]

i'm back on the pc now. i got rid of the fancy vista stuff and went back to xp. i couldn't handle half my vids not working and my ad-hoc wifi network for my lappy had to be redone after each restart, no good for me yet.

here's the big pc's one:

[Marcel]

Ahhh, I see, cheers :D

I just thought the one on the right bore a very uncanny resemblance to my wife :D

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/112/251664460_4b865efde8.jpg

[whiteflyer]

I didn't know your wife sing, play multiple instruments and step dance

Unless her maiden name is Anderassen and has a sister called Kristen then your right, just uncanny resemblance.


I can see the resemblance though

[Waterworx]

Well, I couldn't decide. So here's the finalists

or

Oh, and this is after a good screen tidy :D

So c'mon, which one?

[h.r.ford]

When I hit cntrl and print screen absolutely nothing happens. Nothing happens no matter if I hit print screen on its own... what am I doing wrong?

[hypnotic]

When you hit cntrl and print screen (at the same time) it is saved.

Then go to Ms paint and hit control and v (this will paste it into paint)

Then go to file and save as jpeg.

[h.r.ford]

ohhhh thank you I'm an idiot! Here's the Pic

[minimeeze]

Ummm... what if you don't have Microsoft paint? :thinking:

[ppp]

Do you have Windows...Then you have Paint.

Go to start, run and type in mspaint.exe then press enter

[Jimmy_Lemon]

or just use photoshop or something. as soon as you hit print screen it is copied onto your pc's "clipboard" (using windows) so you can paste it into lots of things.

[RobertP]

As I got that picture from a link originally posted here it is not surprising I'm not alone :)

I have an organised start menu with everything arranged in folders so I can get to them without wondering where the program eneded up. I hate a cluttered desktop screen (unlike my real desktop!) so whenever I install something I delete the desktop shortcuts straight away.

Bet those of you with a screen full of icons only know where to look for a few programs anyway :)

[hypnotic]

http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/gallery/data/839/desktop3.jpg


Did you take that yourself? :D

[Glen]

After finally working out how to do it, I've not got a print button on the keyboard, so I just went through the 'f' keys and one of them must jave worked....

DITTO! Ok, less important these days with far greater RAM capacities, but all those desktop icons are taking a little bit of your RAM anyway, so get rid of them. I still despair when I go round to sort a 'my computers running at snails pace' problem, only to find a desktop full of pictures, documents, [not shortcuts, but the actual file] and in two recent cases, their entire 'My Docs' folder :bang: :bang:

I have all my fav programs and folders pinned to the start menu, dead easy to find, and still the same number of mouse clicks to open them as a desktop shortcut. :D

However, one little 'cheat' I do use is when editing pictures. I will often save the edited version straight to desktop as it's easier than navigating between the opening folder and destination folder, then when I have finished, just drag the lot into the actual destination folder I want them in. No doubt everyone has their own little tricks and methods for this kind of thing, its just what I find easiest. ;)

WHAT are you on about ... :thinking:

If you gotta have an Escort ... it has to be THAT colour ... :D ... nothing more exciting imgo ... ;)







:p

[Jucklebutt]

Weeeeeeeell the reason I have got that particular colour anyway was because my first car was a mk1 escort (not an RS obviously), originally white but showing the rust, as white does so my father resprayed it.
He was a mechanic (or called a fitter back then) for the local bus company, and often had these bus enthusiast use the garages for restoration work, and there just happened to be some green going spare, and it was the same green as that Escort! :D
It's just a sentimental thing really :lol:

[Venomator]

Good enough ... :shrug: ... and Green enough ... ;) ... even for me ... :D





:p

[Jucklebutt]

After that I had a MK2 and that was already GREEN....ok? ;)

[Venomator]

:lol: ... life is tuff sometimes ... ;)








:p

[Cobra]

I was going to get the Master collection that is coming out but i decided upon the CS3 Design Premium Suite, I had to keep CS2 until i find out if my plugin's work correctly, then I will change over completely.

I wouldn't have this if Adobe didn't do very cheap software for students

@Petemc - Are you running OS Leopard there? How is it from a user's point of view?

Changes regularly but at the moment it's this one just to remind me that when it's nice out I can go golfing and not sit in front of this screen.

Love this :love: For some depraved reason animals wearing clothes just crack me up. My favourites are usually ferrets but llamas are apparently equally amusing :lol::lol:

My desktop is currently a mess, but I will post the low-res of what the background is:

Sorta need to upload it :)

[Deano]

Yeah im struggling at the mo big time. Got the instructions here for a mac but still struggling

[Deano]

im pressing command + shift + 3 which gives a clicking sound and takes a pic of my desktop and stores it there but cant get it uploaded. When i drag it in it just leaves the file name. Any advice?

[petemc]

Drag it in what?

[Deano]

Into the reply box on the thread

[Marcel]

You need to upload it to a website to show it on here :)

You can either use your free Gallery space on TP, or use a free image hosting service such as ImageShack :)

Upload the file to there, then copy the address of it into the reply box on here :)

[Deano]

Okay im trying to upload it to my gallery on here. It says the file size is too big. Im clicking on 'tools' on my mac to adjust the size but what resolution should i adjust the pic to so that it will be accepted?
Sorry if this seems dumb...

I'm currently trying to find this pic so that I can have it on both my work and home PC's :love:

You don't happen to have a link to where you got it from do you?

[Deano]

I have resized my pic to to 11.11 width by 6.94 Height (inches) Resolution 72.01 pixels/inch yet it still says the file is too large to upload. Any ideas where i am going wrong?

[kyle]

Go to www.photobucket.com, set up a free account and upload your pics there. When you've uploaded it, copy the url between img tags and paste it here!

[Shorn]

Using this for a week :)

[Deano]

[Stevo]

No need. Just paste the picture as a link and state that it's "not safe for work". We're all adults here :')

Yes I do mate, I don't know how involved you maybe in the community but I'm known by the name of MrSarkey. I've made various movies with ArmA which have been successful.

Nice desktop whiteflyer , Heroes is class if not just for the two 'interesting' female characters :lol:.

[Marcel]

Ive already sorted Deano's pic ;)

I covered up her modesty and uploaded it to his gallery :)

[Deano]

Thanks for that. Much appreciated

[brummie]

I think I have on a disc a copy of some linux OS that can be installed on my pc alongside the XP OS

[brummie]

Ubuntu 7.10 (latest version) can be installed by the dumbest of people, it's that easy to do. I managed it! :lol:

[Shorn]

I just found the disc's will let you know :)

[brummie]

The thing about ubuntu/linux/gnome is its so configurable to your own needs :)

[Shorn]
