Hello. I thought it would be nice to start a desktop thread. Post a picture of your desktop so everyone else can see!

So how exactly do you do it?
The Raven
Apr 20 2004, 06:05 PM
Take a screen shot (On Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP you press the Print Screen or Print scrn key near SCROLL LOCK), open an image editing program like Microsoft Paint (Any will work, but Paint is the fastest and smallest file size), go up to EDIT, then PASTE. A picture of your desktop should show up, the screenshot you just took. Now save that. If it is more then 50k, either save it as a BMP or cut down on the file size somehow, or host it and link to it, what im trying to say is figure out how to get it on the forum. (If I wasn't clear, a picture of your DESKTOP)

I would do it but there are several reasons not to.
1 Too many hacked programs,
2 Not enough hacked programs
3. Personal information might be displayed
4. Boring desktop
And Five, the main reason I won't display my desktop........
(Drum roll please....)
I don't want you knowing that I'm still using windows 3.1

KDE...so pretty! Linux is a great operating system, that IS what you are using correct, since I don't think many Windows or Mac mods can make something THAT impressive.

I don't see much point in displaying my desktop Icons, but here is a nice piece of work that TheOracle did. I use it for a desktop. I think I've had it for about 6 months now.

My computer has issues with taking screencaps...crashes every time I try and paste them into an image program...but, after a long search (almost a full three seconds!) I have located the images I frequently alternate between, with the almighty google
http://www.freekdesigns.com/animeplusmore/...shu_collage.jpgMy current desktop
http://www.freekdesigns.com/animeplusmore/...ba___Gojita.jpgI have, however, been known to flick to this one whenever I feel like a change, because Jenemba is cool (in an evil way), and I think Gogetta is damn pretty (in a tough as nails, gonna-kill-you-dead way).
Although now that I'm on this site again, I notice there're are a couple of Excell Saga ones...oOoOo...
The Raven
Apr 22 2004, 12:02 PM
Cool! I don't know much about anime, but it looks cool!
I usually use whatever picture Im in the mood for, I have been using Buffy for a few days now, but usually either have 3d Art, something mystical (Dragon, Wizard..) or a Raven
The only reason I said desktop (its nice to see pictures) is because its nice to see the styles people use and if people are slobs like me and have their desktop flooded with icons and nothing in folders. (I cleanded my desktop up just before posting the picture so it would not come across bad

Where do you find them? I got mine off some Buffy wallpaper fan site...but occasionally use the ones that come with Windows XP

Note: Daughter of Nine Moons, what is that in your signature? Are those pictures you have made for them, if so, very nice!

Apr 24 2004, 02:08 PM
lol thank Raven,
Mine was sent to me by a friend who thought it was very much like the Vampire character I write about.
Al's is from a game called Koudelka, which I'm re playing atm and if you type in the name on google you'll get some good screen savers.
I also have one by The Oracle I'll have to get Sar to post it if I can't do it myself..

Angelfish, you can easily turn that off by going into settings of Webshots and turning off wallpaper cyclying. Webshots is a good program though..By the way, nice wallpapers everyone!

Thanks. Actually the top part, is just a Windows toolbar. However if you're looking for an OS X type of toolbar/dock. I suggest you use Object Dock. I have it loaded at it work. It works really well. It's free, however it is beta software. But so far I haven't had any problems with it.

Actually, I used to have that. That MSN thing is not MSN at all, it is actually just a sidebar with MSN capabilities...I can't quite remember the link, but Im 90% sure it is one of these links:

Actually I believe its MSN 9, also called MSN Premium. As far as I know you have to pay for it. Does anybody have a hack for MSN 6 too make it look like MSN 9?
<bleeding_heart>
Apr 27 2004, 10:19 PM
It come free with MSN explorer its called "my stuff bar"
http://explorer.msn.co.in/install.htmIts free unless you use them as your ISP
EDIT: Forget all that

Apr 27 2004, 10:37 PM
Venom:
Yes it is an MSN 9 bar. But if you don't want to pay for MSN.
Try this bar. I think it's better then TGTsoft's. It's still in beta, but I haven't had any issues with it.
http://www.smartbarxp.com/cgi-bin/main.cgi...in&display=newsIt's pretty cool, looks just like the Longhorn bar.
