Real desktops welcome too ;) Ultra-macro shot of a coffee cup in progress there?

[Steep]

Nah I find wallpaper an annoyance so stick with a plain background (teal in case anyone is interested) I've kept the same basic look since win98 :)

[Galaxy66]

Can someone please explain how I can post my desktop or any page on here.
My son once showed me but that was over a year ago and have since forgot and I dare not ask him again.

marky_h,

Great desktop, and yours is one of VERY few that I have seen where you have your Task Bar at the top of your screen, where it's more logical to have!

[Wail]

IanC_UK,

Could you please tell me how do you capture your Desktop picture in a Mac?

Thanks

Thanks Wail :) I have this debate all the time with people....in every application, menus drop down, so they should do on your OS too? :shrug: Seems logical to me!

[IanC_UK]

IanC_UK,

Could you please tell me how do you capture your Desktop picture in a Mac?

Thanks

if you have Leopard its cmd - shift - 3 :) should save it as a png file to the desktop :) will then have to change it to jpg (i did it in Photoshop)

[Grendel]

Ian I'm surprised your dock can stay up under the weight of all those icons :lol:

[Wail]

Yup, when I was using Windows machines that is where I would have it placed too. People would be like :eek: but I found this arrangement to be so much more "natural" to my work habits ... it was, oddly, more relaxing for my eyes!

[Wail]

Ian,

Thanks for the heads-up .. it worked under older OS too! :)

When on your desktop, press ctrl + prtscr. Then go into PS (or similar) and hit edit>paste.

I think thats how it works. :)

[Banath]

Nobody want to tell me how :shrug:

alt-print screen then paste (Ctrl-V) into photoshop and then resize :thumbs:

[whiteflyer]

Now where did I read that having a bright colourful desktop wallpaper will effect how you see photos on screen and your desktop should be neutral grey. :thinking::thinking:
