Show Us Yer Desktop!

[Comrade J]

A chance for you to show of your desktop! Is your desktop the best in the world? Now's your chance to prove it! :D

Here's mine, Michael Stipe from REM as my background, and a nice neat collection of programmes, as you can see.

Mine is not very exciting, it's just a plain black - the computer loads faster if it doesnt have to load a big background ;)

[loveme4whoiam]

Mine is a collage of all my friends mixed in with some of my favourite lefty images. Oh yes, and a cat being held up by a guy with a pistol.

I like to keep my desktop clean, besides maybe a book which in this case is the commy manifesto.

It's a "Leadtek Winfast PX7800GT TDH", ir runs Oblivion just fine at 1024x768 with most graphics options near the maximum.

Hahah... I knew someone would ask.

I tried Firefox, and I hated the layout, I prefer IE and I've never had a serious problem with it. I knooow I should change it, but it just keeps drawing me back :wub:

Any other recommendations?

[which doctor]

For some reason I can't take a screenie of my desktop. Maybe I forgot how.

Isn't it ctrl c than ctrl v in mspaint?

[Karl Marx's Camel]

Try the print screen button, then copy into paint.

Cool, where did you get that image from?

[atlas]

ctrl+c and ctrl+v are copy and paste shortcut keys, you need to 'shift+print scr' and then go into paint and ctrl+v.

[which doctor]

Okay, I have it now.

im assuming you use a kde desktop?

if so, how did u configure your taskbar (kicker) like that (transparent)? when i do it, it always comes out ugly

[atlas]

KDE 3.5.3 =)

I removed everything on the taskbar and then added only the stuff I needed, like a couple shortcut icons to the stuff I use most (firefox, thunderbird, gaim, akregator, konsole), a space for all my windows (which is hardly visible), a clock and my dekstop screens manager, configured properly, they can look really nice with transparent stuff (you can even make the desktop managers transparent, thought they arent in the pic.). Also consider adjusting how opaque/transparent it is, so it's not 100% see-through.

Oh and I never use the 'K' button on my taskbar, I hate it. I use 'alt-F1' for the menu.

At the moment, just one of those bland Windows ones (you know, the one with the fields and the blue eky) although I am going to change it to something more revolutionary.

(You don't mind, right? Just for my desktop some time)

Mine has changed (since the Stipe one I had in the first post of the thread) and I changed my bar to silver and now use Firefox! Oh how my life has changed :D

Anyway, my new background, I made the Communist Party picture bigger so it'd work good as a background!

[LoneRed]

what do you do after you have it saved in paint?

[Black Dagger]

To make the image your desktop?

Go to your desktop and right click, scroll down to and click on &#39;properties&#39;.

A window called &#39;display properties&#39; will now appear.

Go to the &#39;desktop&#39; tab, go to the button that says &#39;browse&#39;, find where you have saved your file.

Choose your file, now back to the &#39;display properties&#39; window, click apply and then ok.


If you were asking about how to upload your desktop once you&#39;ve saved it, try goin here:
http://imagevenue.com/

Click &#39;browse&#39; add your file and then click &#39;send file(s)&#39; to upload it.

The site will then give you a url which you can post here using the IMG tags.

[Zero]

save it as .jpeg, and then go to www.imageshack.us, upload it, and post the direct URL to here in


&#91;img&#93;&#91;/img&#93;

tags.
