Who said my old thread was dead?

http://www.thirdday.com/boards/showthread.php?t=77343&pa ge=17

Yeah...we realized that it was not...see-

Gone? It's still there, all 17 pages of it.

...*wince* Oh, oops. I did a search and could not find it...:rolleyes:




I tried searching for it too, but couldn't find it either, until I went and looked in the Wired/Wireless thread itself and just went down the list until I found it. That's usually the only way I can find it anyway, I can never remember if it's "screen shots" or "screenshots", and always pick the wrong one. Now I'll be even more confused since it's got a space and the new thread doesn't. At least one way or the other, regardless of how you enter it, a search will bring one up.

[mercyGurl]

It's always good to get new blood;).

My wallpaper is just the header for the new design at my blog (http://inexorablyloved.blogspot. com)...

[The Unknown Gomer]

Actually, I just changed mine too, first time in a while.

Sorry Mac, you just got replaced by a shot of the sunset over Chantilly VA that I got last night.

I actually got better pics of the sunset itself that'll probably replace this one shortly, once I do a little selective cropping, but I like the fact that this one works as is, plus it caught that plane coming in for a landing. (Not actually a hard thing to do, I guess, given that the motel was facing both the setting sun and the Dulles Airport. :p)

[hoonah*]

Oh, wow. That is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Mine is still the same. I think that I may change the background color of the original, though. Maybe...Green.

[The Unknown Gomer]

Don't change it! The one you have now - assuming my monitor is calibrated correctly - is such a lovely Gomer Orange! :D

But the skies over Chantilly were great last night, all sorts of different types of cloudage, swirly and poofy and thunderhead-y, then with the sun setting behind it, well, I just stood there at my motel window and took shot after shot, until the sun finally set behind the lowest cloudbank. Couldn't have asked for a better vantage point. :)

[danbos]

Well, I had to change it again, today being the day it is. So, here's another one I made using Paint Shop Pro.

Haha, that's a nice one.:D
And Tom, that is cool.

[cheewiee]

Jason, what is that toolbar at the bottom? Never seen one of those...

That is the Dock... It is a wonderful thing... Without sounding like a Mac Snob... It is so wonderful to see what programs you have running w/o having to hit ctrl alt del every time...

You can download something similar, called Object Doc for PC.. it doesn't quite have all the functionality but it is cool...

[The Unknown Gomer]

...You can download something similar, called Object Doc for PC.. it doesn't quite have all the functionality but it is cool...I actually tried Object Dock, and while it was kind of neat - it reminded me of the old Norton Desktop toolbars that I used to set up to run with the pre Win95 versions of Windows - it seemed to make my PC a bit sluggish, so I ended up turning it off. Probably should uninstall it one of these days, since I never use it anymore.

I used Object dock on my laptop and my PC... The strange thing is that it performed better on my laptop (celeron 1.6 w/ 256 megs of ram) than it did on my desktop (P-4 2.0 Gig W/ 512 megs of ram). Both systems were purchased 6 months apart... (with the laptop being the later one).

Pretty...pretty...pretty. ..that could so inspire a story...

[danbos]

It is in Romania. I went there on a mission trip this past summer. It was amazing. Anyway, this is the church that was across from the orphanage we helped at. I just used the "old picture" thing on GIMP.

[bassgirl192]

i don't know how to screen cap on a mac. but mine is the new album art from the switchfoot album. it lends itself to coloring....hehe....

Went to the Monet in Normandy exhibit yesterday and it made such an *cough cough* impression on me, I changed it.

Really LOVE this painting. Might have to get one for my wall. But in the meantime, this will do. :)

I took this picture last week outside of our dorm. That isn't my dorm in the picture, but it's right in the grassy area beside mine...

77492

[bassgirl192]

this is mine. got it off of the switchfoot site. (in promotion of their new album. ;) hehe.) there were 9 there and i couldn't decide... so i got all nine and i have the features set to change the background every day in a random order. so i always have a surprise when i turn on my laptop. this just happens to be one of my favorites.

[DrummerGirl5]

this is actually a screenshot of a screenshot (sorta). The background's the menu from the site A Third Day Offering, but it's made of a bunch of pictures on there, I didn't want to try to save the whole thing. So screencap and it's my background now!

[ChristChild]

I took a screenshot of the Supergate from Stargate SG-1 and have it centered as my background:

Mine is different again. :D

77491Boooo, the Detroit Dead Things! Go Hurricanes! ;) :p Even if they can't seem to beat ANY of the teams this season that they beat in the playoffs. :rolleyes:

Nice pic though. :)

[Aaron]

A friend of mine did this pic in photoshop...I used it as my desktop since I'm too lazy to make my own background.

[bvc]

oh...a screenie thread!
I don't have a third day wallpaper and they're not playing in the media player but the wallpaper is an acoustic guitar. I found it with google and added the lines in The Gimp, since I use Linux. I just use XP to use esword. Linux has one called GnomeSword but it's not as good as esword. The theme (window and widgets) is one I made.

[The Unknown Gomer]

Looks like this thread hasn't been updated since Thanksgiving, so I'll upload my latest to give it a little bump.

Mama might like this one, I think if I remember correctly she's a big fan of this comic strip. We never used to have it in our paper, and they added it a few months back and I LOVE it. "Woe to da TOFU Cow!" :D

82540

[mercyGurl]

Pearls is my favorite comic...I adore it.

This currently is mine. I know it seems lame, but I've got these group interviews when I go back to school to be a freshman hall leader, and apparently they're doing the same interviews as they did for the RAs. They had to do this activity that I did a year ago in Critical Thinking--this NASA survival exercise (http://www.bpccs.com/lcas/Articles/survive.htm).
So it's the right order, and I'm trying to memorize it.

I love the vladstudio.com wallpapers (http://www.vladstudio.com/wallpapers/). :) There are a lot of cool ones I've downloaded.

[Aaron]

This screenshot was taken running Ubuntu Live CD on my laptop without a hard drive.

[The Unknown Gomer]

I've tried running a few of those Linux Live CD/DVDs before. Neat to experiment with, but it would take a LOT of tweaking to get Linux to recognize all my peripherals (aaah thank you google toolbar spell check! I really butchered that one :o ), and I just don't have that much patience. But I do like to pull them out and play with them once in a while.

Nice shots of trees, yours and SmileyFreak's. Very cool.

[Musicdude]

My laptop at work. Kinda cluttered. My laptop at home has the same background, but a lot less icons.

I looked at that site yesterday, and I have never been there that I know of, so I'm not real sure where I got that jpg from. It was on my hard drive, but I don't remember downloading it.

Here is just the pic, if you want.

Cool. Thanks.

While not a current shot it is what I am currently using. Mirage (http://gnomethemes.org/pre/Mirage-Compiz.jpg)
I made the window border theme.

This was my site (http://gnomethemes.org/) but I have recently turned it over to someone else, since I am no longer theming Linux/Gnome. So proceed with caution as to what may be put there in the future.

Here's one (http://gnomethemes.org/pre/Incise-full.jpg) where I made everything but the wallpaper.

Here's a dark theme I made in several colors (? 5 colors I think?). Green (http://gnomethemes.org/pre/screenshots/Onux-Green.png) and Purple (http://gnomethemes.org/pre/screenshots/Onux-Purple_Noir-Purple.png)

This one was fun to make; Scutum (http://gnomethemes.org/pre/Scutum.jpg). It's just a preview....wonder where my screenie with the galaxy wallpaper went? hmmm...

All are here (http://gnomethemes.org/pre/) and here (http://gnomethemes.org/pre/screenshots/)

I didn't make this theme, but I manipulated the wallpaper from a photo of a book cover. Good and Evil (http://gnomethemes.org/pre/screenshots/Good-and-Evil.png)

Here's a shot of what my desktop sometimes looks like when I'm doing my charting from home.

Windows and Mac living together in peace...imagine that. ;)

[The Unknown Gomer]

We've not had anything new posted since March? Shame on us.

I just changed mine this morning, from the Fraternity of Zeeba Zeeba Eata, to well, Lucy, just hanging out and being comfy on my bed. I'll probably be changing this again shortly, but I just happened to run across it while looking at some other pics and on a whim, just turned it into the wallpaper du jour.

83200

Note the nice tidy desktop. Discovered a nifty new toolbar/launcher thing that I like much better than ObjectDock. It's called 8Start Launcher. Doesn't seem to slow down my system at all, stays hidden and doesn't clutter up the desktop until I need it, and yay, it's freeware. :cool: Plus it's got several different skins, so as I change my desktop, I can make sure I change the launcher to match. I think this one may be a keeper.

I was not going to merge the new Screen Shots thread with the old one, but then when I saw that the old one is almost two years old, I wanted to perserve it. So this is the old and the new thread combined. :)

[The Unknown Gomer]

Gotta love Dilbert ...Especially when you get mentioned by name. ;)

Here's the latest on the office PC. It used to be an icon filled plain blue purely functional destop, but I found a great freebie program to organize most of the icons that only comes up when I need it, so I was finally able to stick a picture on here earlier this week.

I may have actually posted this on here earlier after I first shot it and used it at home, but it's working really nicely on the desktop here now. One of my "happy accident" photos. Overexposed the moon, but was able to catch Jupiter down there in the lower left. :cool:

[The Unknown Gomer]

hehe, you're a Vista wannabe and I'm a Vespa wannabe :D Heh heh. I just saw this! Better a late laugh than a never laugh, I guess. :P

Changed the office wallpaper again. All pics shot at various and sundry times with my old Sony camera/telescope combo, except for the shot of Saturn, which I recently replaced with one that I shot with the Nikon through the 'scope. SOMEDAY Jupiter will be in a good viewing location at some time OTHER than 3:00 in the morning again to try and get that with the Nikon. But it's been rising too late the last two winters. :confused: I don't mind standing outside at 8 or 9 pm in the middle of winter when it's 40 degrees to catch some good pics, but I draw the line at doing it at 3 in the morning. *brrrr*

And no, objects are NOT to scale. LOL. :D

I have a feeling that it was altered... :) A coworker sent that to me, and I had been deleting them for awhile (I subscribed to get them every day) so I'm not sure ... but it's funny none-the-less.

:D

[The Unknown Gomer]

Here's the latest home desktop. I have no idea what flower this is, but Mom was SO thrilled that it bloomed, since the one other bud that was on the plant that was just getting ready to open last week got munched off by the squirrels just before it opened. Mom was CRUSHED. :(

But she's happy now. This one survived.

84462

[Corrine]

Absolutely beautiful photo, Karen! Isn't that a Gerbera Daisy?

[The Unknown Gomer]

Thanks, Corrine.

I honestly don't know what it is, other than being "the one that the squirrel didn't chew off." :P

This is what it looks like when I'm not so close to it that the petals are touching the lens, if that helps ID it.

Here's mine as of right now...Burlap to Cashmere fans will understand it.

[The Unknown Gomer]

New desktop! Held a mirror up to the aquarium to give the betta a little exercise. He didn't disappoint. Well worth breaking the mirror to get this shot (I tried to prop it up with my left hand, and dropped it. Clearly I'm not meant to be ambidextrous :rolleyes: )

But the actual betta is on the left facing away from me (hence why you can see right into the side of his head, behind his gills), and that's the reflection of his "look at how puffed up I can be!" face on the aquarium wall there on the right. My, Grandma, look what big EYES you have!

How do you guys take screenshots? I have no idea how?

[SmileyFreak1981]

How do you guys take screenshots? I have no idea how?

On your keyboard, hit the button that says Print Screen. Then open up a graphics program (ex: Microsoft Paint) and hit CTRL+V. Then your screen as it appeared when you pressed the Print Screen key will appear. Then save it.

This is for Windows...I have no idea how to do it on a Mac.

[The Unknown Gomer]

... and then don't forget to resize it to make it a little smaller, otherwise it very likely will be too large of a file to upload here. :)

[jumpingmaniac]

Mine...

[Buttabean]

here's mine. The columns are at Mizzou's campus.

[The Unknown Gomer]

Neat angle! :cool:

Here's the office desktop. More fishies. I was kinda surprised how many different ones (or parts of ones, in the case of the betta) I caught in that one shot.

The big silver tetras are the ones I was SO worried I was going to lose when my aquarium heater went kablooie and overheated the tank a few weeks ago and killed off 5 of the other fish. But they seem to be much happier and are swimming and eating again, now that I've added other fish to the tank. Happy happy joy joy :)

85568

[The Unknown Gomer]

NEW desktop at home already.

Will the real Last Mimzy please stand up! :P

New screenshot from the home PC!

Had a huge storm come through tonight, lots of rain, wind, thunder, lightning, and didn't lose power once. The storm passed, the sun came out, and suddenly out of the blue, after we thought we were in the clear, a couple of powerlines suddenly fell, and several transformers went kablooie, and suddenly the power went out for the next four hours. :mad: Kiss that A/C goodbye. Ick.

Time to bring out the candles (no shortage of candles of all shapes and sizes in OUR house!) and the board games!

Parcheesi anyone? :D

Here's the latest on both my home and office PCs... shot it at the unplugged show Saturday.

89096

My laptop has this one from Thursday's Police concert.

89097

Both soon to be replaced, most likely, next weekend by shots from the 3D/JoC shows. :)

I posted the background in the Creative Arts too, but here's mine.

[ZippyApplePants]

Great one Dan! :D

[The Unknown Gomer]

Yay! You went with the marble, not the lightning! Good choice! :cool:

[danbos]

Thanks Wendy.

Yep, I did go with the marble, it came together nicer than the lightning one. With that, I was just kind of messing around with different things and put the lightning up and thought, hey, this might look cool for a background, so I tried it and it just didn't quite come together right.

[The Unknown Gomer]

No new wallpaper posted in over a month? Gotta change that. :D

Had this one yesterday...

90286

but then saw THIS one, which I loved too, so I swapped it.

90284

Now I can't decide which one I like better. :) I'll probably stick with the brown one a while, and then go back to the black one later...

[SmileyFreak1981]

I love Vlad's wallpapers...I have this one, which will probably get changed out in a day or two to something different...

90289

[The Unknown Gomer]

I had that one up at one point too, the version with their desktop clock, but it drove me nuts because it said AM when it was PM, even though my computer's clock was correct, so I ditched it.

Oh well, both kitties are gone now, I finally got a decent shot of my new betta fish that I picked up on Friday, so put that one up instead for a few days.

It would have been the PERFECT shot, he was right up at the front of the tank and was actually in focus, except that I shot too high and picked up the shadow of the tank lid. :rolleyes: But it'll work for now.

The other guy trying to sneak his way into the shot is one of the two lamp eye tetras that survived being overheated when the thermostat on the old heater went kablooie. They've seemed a little slow ever since, maybe their little fishie brains couldn't handle it, but at least they survived.

New wallpaper here at the office!

Someone named "Duck" (at least that's what the card said; Doug blew a gasket when I called him at lunchtime to tell him, LOL) sent me 23 roses for Valentine's Day this morning. I thought this quick PDA snapshot made for very cool wallpaper. :cool:

Some of my roses, courtesy of, um, "Duck". :P

That's hysterical. I dated a guy nicknamed Duck in HS. He really sorta resembled a duck.:P

[The Unknown Gomer]

Doug still can't figure how they got his name wrong, he's on file at that florist from the flowers he sent LAST year, and they STILL managed to think that when he said "Love, Doug" for the card that he said "Love, Duck" instead. LOL :D

That's okay, we're batting a thousand this valentines day anyway, I sent him an American Greetings animated e-card that I did up special for him last night, and because it was an EXE file, he couldn't open it there at the office. :( I'm going to have to play it back on my pc, record it with the Nikon, load it onto my PDA and take it with me to Greensboro on Saturday so he can actually SEE the thing.

[lilmikey]

Cool, Chris. I like that. :D Did you photoshop it or is there actually an intersection with those two streets?

I finally broke down and changed mine. This is actually a pic that Yippy shot at the show she went to, Mac is in there someplace (it took me a week before I could actually make him out), but it took what I thought was a very artistic turn. I just flipped it and upped the saturation a bit to bring out the color, and thought "Yeah, this makes LOVELY wallpaper." I've been using it ever since. It's kind of "Consuming Fire"y. :cool:

Really have GOT to clean off the desktop though, the icons are starting to stack up again. :o Where IS that Clutter Fairy when I need her? :p

boy thats icon city LOL. You do reakize that the more icons you have the slower the PC runs right? Not exclusivly and maybe not by much but it does bog it down a little bit

Just trying to be your friendly third day board tech support

now how do I do this?

What? no linux desktops? This sadfaces me :(

[WeaselInYerFoot]

By the way, if you're looking for good backgrounds. Social Wall (http://www.socwall.com/) has some good ones for all shapes of monitors (including dual display).

[The Unknown Gomer]

Here's my latest here at the office. HAD one of my eclipse photos up, but this one of the Cassini flyby of one of Saturn's moons, whose name escapes me but it sounds something like Enchalada. :P (I think someone is ready for dinner! LOL. )

I thought it was such a cool shot, it gave MY photo the boot!

(and I looked it up because it was driving me nuts - the name of the moon is "Enceladus"... it looks like it sounds ALMOST like "Enchaladas". Heehee!)

What? no linux desktops? This sadfaces me :(

Me too. I have a problem getting an operating system boot selector at the moment. My GRUB went down. So no Linux here.

The pic below is from my RHS computer (I have a KVM switch and sometimes get confused as to which computer I am on lol. So 'RHS' and 'LHS' in the top right hand corner of the screen gives me a clue.

...My GRUB went down. ...

And I'm STILL thinking about food! :D

What I'd like by desktop at work to look like. But RK Launcher (the dock at the bottom) has issues with Outlook 2007 receiving emails.

You can get all kinds of backgrounds like this one at www.socwall.com (http://www.socwall.com/).

Here's mine--I didn't take the picture, I just put it on my desktop. It's a good reminder of tetelestai :)

I've been inspired by the LOLCats thread. LOL :D

Here's my latest desktop...a Tesla Roadster, a 100% electric car that will do 0-60 in under 4 seconds. Basically, I took a desktop from Tesla's website and made it better because it was kind of boring and just had a white background.

[lilmikey]

how do I do this?

[danbos]

When you are looking at your desktop, push the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard, then you can paste it into Paint or whatever other program you use for pictures.

[The Unknown Gomer]

Has it been over a month since we've had any new screenshots?

Since someone recently woke up the LOL Cats thread again, I've got this as my office desktop now:

92357

I figure once it's up for a while, and I can get any questions out of the way, I can start using other ones that relate to either Basement or Ceiling cat and then I won't have to explain them to anyone. :)

[danbos]

Mine's still pretty much the same, but slightly different, as I now have Vista and a widescreen laptop.

92358

[g-man]

[ChristChild]

I have this as my background at the moment:

[The Unknown Gomer]

Very cool!

I HAD a shot of 3D from Sonfest there last week, but already swapped it out for something a little more cute. ;)

It's my Ozzy! :) 15 pounds of ankle-cruising "mama's boy". :P

"Wake Up, People!" (hoping to get the theme song from the Pepsi Max commercial stuck in peoples' heads :D ...)

Haven't posted a new desktop in a while; I shot this during Journey's set at Walnut Creek Sunday night... Great show, despite them all looking a little, well, old. ;) :cool:

92928

[Greyshades]

I saw Sarah's shot up there and thought she'd hacked my HD. I've got a few pictures like that. Now that I think of it, I moved 'em all to the church computer for backgrounds.

Gotta couple cool shots like that though, If anyone wants to use them.

[The Unknown Gomer]

This always happens after a concert. I post one desktop, and then within days find another one from the same show that I like much better and swap them.

Here's the newest (I actually shot several similar shots Sunday night thinking that it might make cool wallpaper and this is the clearest of the bunch). I LOVED those colors in the background.

Bye Bye Journey, hello Heart. :)

[Teresa79]

These are one of the computers I use while I'm at the base. The first one is the default one, but I like the second one better so I changed it under my profile.

The Home PC hasn't changed since right after I saw Wall-e sometime back.

Love that movie. :)

Thanks! :)

Yeah, that is a good one.

Thanks! :)

You're welcome

That's gorgeous! Bridges frighten me....

Here's my new wallpaper that I made just today of my Biffle!!! I renewed my love for this driver this week and have gone ALL Biffle with avatars, banners and even a screensaver on my comp. :P

[Genna14]

I finally figured this out
You should resize those, my computer uses dial up and you also throw off the dimensions so that I have to scroll over. If you need help, let me know and I can help. :)

[danbos]

Here's my latest one:

93386

[The Unknown Gomer]

Love it. :cool: Did you shoot it?

Already changed mine on the office PC again. Amazing what shots can end up being some of your favorites.

93390

[danbos]

Yes, I did shoot it. When you look at the picture, the moon is a lot smaller, but I centered the picture for my desktop, and it came out pretty clear.

[The Unknown Gomer]

And just in time for halloween... a suitably creepy screencap from an animated screensaver I downloaded a few weekends back. :D

Very cool. I needed to read these today!! Thanks.

This is what I have currently. It's easy on the eyes at night!

Haven't had a new screenshot since October? Must fix that.

Here's my latest on the office PC. This was from back in November, and the weather was threatening to be really stormy, and the colors and the intensity of the clouds at sunset were just mindblowing. It's not GREAT, I shot it with my PDA, so the camera doesn't do the colors justice, but when it's the only camera on you at the time, you take what you can get. :)

What's funny, is that I forgot I even shot this until a few days ago, hence why it didn't show up until now. :o

94373

[Salome]

Would someone please tell me how I can share mine? Thanks.

[The Unknown Gomer]

Hit your print screen key, paste it into a graphics program like Paint or IrfanView (my particular favorite), resize it down to 640x480 (or 800x600, if you can get the resolution down far enough so that it fits within board guidelines), then just upload it. :)

I've got a scene from Wall-e as my XP wallpaper, but since I booted into Windows 7, I'll have to screencap that one instead. I'm still using the default Win7 wallpaper. It's a betta fish, which I thought was very clever of Microsoft, since this IS their Beta version of Win7. :P And it apparently IS the only betta fish still alive in my room, since it would appear that MY betta fish keeled over suddenly, I've not seen him swimming for a day or so, so I'll probably be having to fish him out (no pun intended) tomorrow. :(

Thanks. Although I'm still not sure if I can figure all that out!! I'll try ..... someday. :o :D

[ChelsieGratzer]

My wallpaper changes a lot!

[The Unknown Gomer]

Shot this this morning from the front porch. :) I love snow!

[rossid]

Fine. You can have snow and I'll take...


U2!!!

:P

Okay it is 614k but you would have seen a b & w panorama of Paris. :(

[The Unknown Gomer]

Did someone say U2? :P Here's the latest home pc desktop...

Anyone else ever try Stardock's new Fences program? It's a freebie, and it works really well at keeping one's icons corralled and under control. :cool:

94466

[rossid]

That is VERY nice.

Wait until you see what Letterman did with that album (back) cover. Plus they did a cool song, etc.

Somehow have to tape GMA, then WWE Smackdown, and finally Letterman. So turn on the DTV box and change channels twice? Not very confident in thost that are going to be home while I'm, um, in the front row in Spencer watching Third Day. :D

[scbyd23]

NewU2 wallpaper. Screenshot from the Magnificent video from "Linear". :)

Still trying to figure out how it would look with my leftover 3D glasses from Chuck, if it would work, or if my eyeballs would explode. :P

[Rainlily]

I couldn't figure out how to copy the screen either, but this is the photo I'm using. Same one as I used for my avatar.

These are the first flowers to bloom in my backyard every year. I took this photo in mid to late January.

[The Unknown Gomer]

New U2 wallpaper. Just screencapped this from the "Magnificent" video from the third night of their "3 Nights Live" performance in Boston last month. After I screencapped it, I went "Hmmm... this might make good wallpaper." And it did, so I kept it. ;)

[The Unknown Gomer]

Here's the latest at the office. Finally switched out from the LOL Cats one with the "polypz and skittlez". :P

This was the Kliban desktop calendar page of the day on Monday that I thought was really neat, and it just worked out that we had our flatbed scanner running today, so we scanned it in and viola! New wallpaper.

I love Kliban Cats. Heck of a nice animal, frequently mistaken for a meatloaf. ;)
