Hello everyone. Take a screenshot of your desktop and share it with everyone. This is my desktop at the moment where I work.

AbeLover · #2 02-27-2003, 06:46 AM

This is my dekstop! (currently)
(poep in je hoofd means errrrr...well, litterally shit in your head

)

Majic · #3 02-27-2003, 01:20 PM

Heres mine, but I have like 2 I switch between sometimes. Yah...

Facsimile · #4 02-28-2003, 01:49 AM

This is mine.
The Big Day Out is a massive music festival like thing that happens in NZ and Aus. I went this year and I feel proud. Because only one other person I know did.

EDIT: How did you guys keep yours the same size and not have it go way over the attachment limit? I had to make mine quite small.

Joshy · #5 02-28-2003, 07:28 AM

Well here's my humble desktop...

***Cloverfield*** · #6 03-05-2003, 07:03 AM

Very true... you can't even change the colors if you wish to keep the XP style.

It's a program called WindowBlinds and can be downloaded from http://www.windowblinds.net/. But it's shareware and you get a nagging screen asking you to buy it when you start Windows.

The Xbox skin (which also includes the installation program, so you don't need to get it from the other site) can be downloaded from Xbox.com ... just need to be registered for Xbox.com.

You can also download other skins and stuff from sites like http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=1 and http://www.customize.org/list/windowblinds.

Hello Facsimile. My desktop was originally 1025x768, but I used Photoshop to make the Image size 800x600. Then used the Save for Web option to save it to a web-friendly size. If you do not have Photoshop, then maybe you have another program that will allow you to do this.

And here is an update to my desktop. Yay! Tidus. He is so cute!!!!!!!

***Xavier*** · #13 04-27-2003, 06:26 AM

my last one...

***Cloverfield*** · #14 04-27-2003, 09:56 AM

Nice wallpaper Xavier! I'd forgotten all about this topic.

Here's one of my latest ones ... Sephiroth of course! It's a wallpaper I'm in the middle of working on, so it still has some work to go. I'll possibly be creating a series of FF music related wallpapers for my FF music site when it's up (one day).

Abe Babe...

The Red Muse · #15 04-27-2003, 10:39 AM

Heh--feel the wrath of my Windows 95!!!
See the darn desktop!
I have no need for big--fancy wallpapers-- I have pretty pictures ^___~!!
Such a spendid sight, isn't it?

Oh and Abe Babe--you have a lovely desktop! I really like the Sephiroth theme!

Disgruntled Intern · #16 04-27-2003, 04:20 PM

This is my Dark Lotus desktop.

Disgruntled Intern · #17 04-27-2003, 04:25 PM

And this is my new Twiztid desktop.

oddling · #18 04-27-2003, 10:24 PM

Hey, how do you do that? I can't figure out how to get a screenshot of my desktop.

Oddling l:c l

Ashe · #19 04-28-2003, 04:33 AM

Hello Oddling. You can press the Prnt Screen key on your keyboard to take a screenshot of your desktop. And everyone you all have such wonderful desktops!!!!!!!

Miss Odd · #20 04-28-2003, 11:18 PM

Hehehe

~Miss Odd Serenity

P.S Thats so cool you can get skins for XP! Does the program ever go away after 30 days or something? and can u crack it?

oddling · #21 04-28-2003, 11:44 PM

Hey Summoner Yuna, sorry but your technique didn't work. I'm not sure why it didn't. Oh well, thanks for trying to help! Does anyone else know another way?

Oddling l:c l

Miss Odd · #22 04-29-2003, 04:26 AM

I think I might know the problem... on some computers you need to hold down Alt or Ctrl at the same time as Print Screen

Maybe that will work!

Joshy · #23 04-29-2003, 04:41 AM

Well here's mine...

Miss Odd · #24 04-29-2003, 05:00 AM

Well here's mine...

Omg... I didn't think anyone could have a more boring computer than my Dad's!

Hehehehehe

Hmm... still not working. After you press those button, what are you supposed to do after that? Are you supposed to keep this window open or something?

Majic · #27 04-30-2003, 01:36 AM

You go into something like MSPaint, and paste it. That auto copies it. You probably know how to attatch images from there. You might have to shrink it some though, but tahts not hard.

Miss Odd · #28 05-02-2003, 04:31 AM

I told ya I would give you all my "cool" one at school, didn't I

?

Well here it is... inspired by AbeBabe and Summoner Yuna, I have a FF background!! And I really love it too... that person is beautiful!

Oh yes... and I downloaded WindowBlinds!! I had the Xbox one before.. but i got tired of it, so now I have this Red buttonish one!

~Miss Odd Serenity

Ashe · #29 05-06-2003, 04:11 AM

Hello Miss Odd. I do like your wallpaper very much. It is beautiful. It is of Yuna. I am happy that I have helped inspire you to like Final Fantasy.
