How can anybody get by with so few icons on the desktop???

 

[marky_h]

It's called organisation ...and use the Quick Start Bar...show us yours! Or is it 'spot the wallpaper'?

This is mine from the other day.



Clickie for biggie.

[marky_h]

Real desktops welcome too Ultra-macro shot of a coffee cup in progress there?

Nah I find wallpaper an annoyance so stick with a plain background (teal in case anyone is interested) I've kept the same basic look since win98

My son once showed me but that was over a year ago and have since forgot and I dare not ask him again.

marky_h,

Great desktop, and yours is one of VERY few that I have seen where you have your Task Bar at the top of your screen, where it's more logical to have!

 

[Wail]

IanC_UK,

Could you please tell me how do you capture your Desktop picture in a Mac?

Thanks

Thanks Wail I have this debate all the time with people....in every application, menus drop down, so they should do on your OS too? :shrug: Seems logical to me!

IanC_UK,

Thanks

if you have Leopard its cmd - shift - 3 should save it as a png file to the desktop will then have to change it to jpg (i did it in Photoshop)

 

[Grendel]

Ian I'm surprised your dock can stay up under the weight of all those icons

 

[Wail]

Yup, when I was using Windows machines that is where I would have it placed too. People would be like but I found this arrangement to be so much more "natural" to my work habits ... it was, oddly, more relaxing for my eyes!

 

[Wail]

Ian,

Thanks for the heads-up .. it worked under older OS too!

 

[Matt.]

That's mine The background itself changes every few mins from a selection of my travel photos!

[Techno-Geek]

Here is mine by the way - That is my desktop, i only use it for editing pictures and playing music off of

 

[Joe T]

Nobody want to tell me how :shrug:

When on your desktop, press ctrl + prtscr. Then go into PS (or similar) and hit edit>paste.

I think thats how it works.

 

[Banath]

Nobody want to tell me how :shrug:

alt-print screen then paste (Ctrl-V) into photoshop and then resize

Joe T seems to have beat me to it
