Hello all, this here is my desktop.

http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/8494/insomniacswallpaperfh9.png (http://imageshack.us)

Thought it would be just a bit of fun to see everyone on litnet exposed of their computer screens! and to see really what they have on their desktop lol

Remember when posting your picture, go to http://www.imageshack.us/ and you should be able to host your picture on there, and then copy the link in 'Hotlink for forums', which is under the picture after uploading.

Thankyou!

Niamh, how I did it is hit print screen, then paste it in a png (using paint). Then upload it on photobucket.

Maybe try taking a screenshot, Niamh. And google it if you don't know how to do it. (I've got a Mac, so I can't give you tips there.)

Try pressing print screen, opening Paint (or some other photo editing software) then press Ctrl+V and save the picture

How did you do this??? :confused:
Hitting "Print Screen" while you're in the desktop does it. Then you just paste (ctrl+V) it and save it in windows paint. Then the upload is similar to that of any other pic.


Wow Petrarch, a perfect wallpaper for a scholar :) . I see you're using Vista. Since I'm not much into programmings that i heard it hampers, I too have used it for a few months and liked it. Till last month, when I had to switch back to XP because having multiple user accounts in Vista slows my PC down. I miss that notepad very much!

I'm very anti-tidy in real life, but somehow i dont like any files/folders in my desktop,
i prefer having it clean and soothing.

Ok, here is my desktop. As you can see I prefer it clean (I usually use keyboard shortcuts to get to my applications). You may have seen the picture in the Pictures taken by you (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20158) thread.

@Classic*Charm: Not a single Mac User? Consider yourself the second. ( Either try Apple + Shift +3 to make a whole screenshot or Apple + Shift + 4 to do it yourself and decide which portion you'd like to take a shot of.)

I have Vista now, too. I will have to figure out how to do this. I have been changing my desktop recently every couple of days, I never did that before, but I can't seem to find an image that truly satisfies me - anyone know where I can hunt for free wallpapers? I just can't seem to like anything as well, as the first one I had, which actually came with Vista - which was medium blue, a sort of calm tropical sea and long walkway/dock stretching away from me, with lights at it's base. Last night I changed to a scene from Villa Vignamaggio, which is where Kenneth Branagh filmed his movie "Much Ado About Nothing". It looks pretty cool, but I don't really like the way the shortcuts show up on the left side over the green grass; I am a bit picky about this kind of thing. I will have to figure out how to do this to copy the screen.

I think I liked best so far the scene of Paris. That is just amazing and it is relaxing being in tones of blue. I kind of like the more expansive types such as vistas like that one. I have so much actual clutter in my room, I need calm and simplicity on the screen.

Petrarch, I have the same things on my sidebar usually - the round clock, the slideshow, and the notepad, sometimes I add the weather, too. As they say "Brilliant minds think alike"... haha

Janine,

1.Go to the Google box in the top left hand corner of your screen.

2. Click on the little black arrowhead INSIDE the box.

3. From the drop down menu select IMAGES

4. Type in your subject choice e.g. Paris or Cats or whatever.

5. Click on Go.

6. A huge selection of pictures will come up.

7. Left click to choose one, right click and choose SET AS BACKGROUND.

8. You will be asked if you want to change your existing wallpaper.

9. If you do, click Yes.

Mine changes at least once each day, so you never know what it is going to be;) Sharing would be a bit silly since they are all a reflection of me, but I doubt anyone wants to see a new screen here every time I change it. I counted one day, and I changed my background 6 time in an 8 hour period:lol:
