Here's mine:

ok, fine:



lol @ all the cma files on your dt

Haha, you know what those are. Nice.

i'm sure that if we combined our resources we could probably upload several gigs of videos from that site.

I've got a good 100 mb of credit unused at the moment, so yeah.

Well, I have dual monitors so that's why it's wider than all of your monitors. That's also why I didn't directly link to it. Yeah, I'm a bit OCD about my desktop being neat.

I dont have anything on my desktop at all. its just a picture. I have a mac

had the same desktop (patrick pentland of the canadian rock group sloan, taken by me) since the summer. i should really change it, buti just don't have the heart. it's too purdy.

i have no idea how to do that. I'm far too inept. but y'alls look purty.

do what? customize your desktop or take a screenshot? they are both fairly painless procedures.

make the image of my scrren appear on the somb
the customizing bit I have down. My image is a black and white nude (not of me) i took a couple years ago.

Yeah...I have the screenshot, too, but don't know how to upload it so it appears here.

Nevermind. Photobucket.

edit: dammit, I tried that photobucket and it cut off alot cause it was over 512k. oh well. Ill try agian tomorrow

Casual,

I went to photobucket.com and uploaded it there. Starting a free account is easy.

And the grab shortcut is good to know. I don't have much of a cause to use it that often, but I'll try to remember.

Dano, what program are you using to get yer' desktop all cool and stuff like that? I would like said program, as well.

yeah, that is badass. I might actually keep my calendar/list of things to do updated if i could see it right on my desktop.

It's not actually a program, it's an XML script that you can run using the active desktop feature built into Windows. It's a little tricky to start using, but here's a link: http://students.washington.edu/dgleason/ss...esktop_v2.5.zip

Be warned that to get it looking the way you want you have to edit/write your own code, so if you don't have a little bit of time on your hands to get it working the way you'd like you're probably not going to want to bother. That said there's a really good readme/tutorial to get you going, and it's a lot simpler than you might think.

I used to like you.

(what? a girl can't enjoy a little eye candy? )

if that's eye candy, I don't wanna know what you find repulsive....

Can you point me towards that wallpaper, dano? I'd like to use it.

Is said tutorial at said link? If so then I will be devoting tommorrow afternoon to dicking with this codewriting.

Yeah, extract the .zip to it's own folder somewhere you can get to it easily, and find the folder called fuble_bass' tutorial. Open the index.html in and go from there. Also make sure to check out the standard readme (make sure to open it with IE) in the root directory. Feel free to shoot questions you have to me via PM or this thread or any other way you can think of.

Or just download Rainlender. Insanely small, excellent program that's highly customizable

As a default it looks like this



But there are many different skins available.

Thanks, I will check this out for a change of pace.

Great desktop! I love Sloan! Was this taken at last year's Double Door show?

I LOVE SLOAN TOO!

This is my work computer desktop.



Better?

As I fear priviliged info from my company being transmitted over the net, I will simply show you my current desktop image.

Much. The Izzard quote helps too.

How do I upload a pic of my own desktop? I have a photobucket account and shite, but no idea how to do this, exactly.

mac or pc?

it used to look like this:

then some stuff happened, and my situation is different. here is a current picture of me:

mac, yo

ok, cmd-shift-3 to do a screen capture. That'll show up on your desktop as 'Picture 1.' Drag that file to Graphic Converter, PhotoShop, MacDraw (lol) or some graphic application--photobucket won't recognize the raw .pict file. Convert it to a .jpg or .gif file, scale it if you want to while you're in there (recommended), and save. From photobucket, browse to your computer, locate the jpg or gif, upload, voila.

edit: once uploaded, photobucket provides the file's url. Copy & paste that and, viola!

It was strange seeing Sloan play somewhere other than the Metro but it was a great show! I try to see them everytime they come to town. Hopefully they'll come back this year.

Sorry, dumb question, but how do you do a screen caputure in XP...I know how to host it, but can't get the capture.

Thx.

there should be a print screen button on your keyboard. press that. then, in any imaging software, (paint, imaging, photoshop) select paste in a new document and bam. you got yourself a screenshot. don't forget to save.

i forgot about this thread. what fun! this is my desktop at work.
