Here's mine, currently.

3D photos, go figger.

Just call me "Miz One Track Mind". :rolleyes: :D

I have to keep cleaning up the desktop icons, otherwise I tend to bury Geof. LOL.

Your screenshot is my favorite!! :p

You press "Print Scrn" on the keyboard, open MS Paint, and hit Crtl+V to paste it into the window. ;)

Thanks.....I will try it now.... :) (photo from the top of Europe.... :cool: )

Brian, is that tool bar on the bottom standard for Windows XP Professional? I like it. :) I might just move all my stuff down to the task bar. I don't even use half of the stuff on the desktop.

Here is mine. It's a picture of cornflowers I took at the graveyard where Laura Ingalls Wilder, her husband, and daughter are buried. (No, that's not morbid. It's history.) There is no real significance of the place. That's just where I happened to find a nice field of the cornflowers to photograph. :)

[The Unknown Gomer]

Your screenshot is my favorite!! :pThanks. Heehee... I REALLY wanted to do an all Brad wallpaper (it'd be like BTV - "Brad TV: all Brad all the time"), but figured that would change me from merely being Miz One Track Mind, to Miz Complete Stalker, so thought better of it. LOL. :o :p

Are you asking if the Quick Launch bar (icons to launch programs) is standard, or the color scheme I've got? If the former, yes. If the latter, no.

To enable Quick Launch, right-click on the taskbar, and under the Toolbars menu, check Quick Launch. (Right-click on taskbar/uncheck Lock if you want to move it around, etc).

As for the custom visual style... the file uxtheme.dll has to be patched to allow non-Microsoft styles. Then, a variety are available from third-party sources.

[BigDaddy]

Me hitting softball. I change it about every other day though. :p

No, I meant the Quick Launch bar. I have that enabled, but I have it set to hide the inactive icons.

Well, that was fun. I just did some redecorating. I like the view much better now. :)

[msscarlet82]

Here's mine. :) the picture is one MusicianaryMary took of me last Thursday. :D

[teresaUK]

Allison C....I had that one for a while....but it used to freak me out when I first logged on - especially if I was still in my PJ s with bedhead! .....so I changed it to something more relaxing...
:)

[Allison C.]

HAHA! As I am right now! I guess it depends on how you're feeling. It can at times be quite attention getting... hey YOU in front of the computer!

:)

[MargiRose]

Ok, I'll give it a try. Mine has a picture of the flowers my employer gave me for Administrative Professionals Day. I'm at a different computer tomorrow which has a much better picture. ;) I'll post that one later.

[The Unknown Gomer]

I'm still in that Third Day groove, but I actually had this one set as my wallpaper on both my home and work PCs for for several MONTHS back in February and March. It really perplexed people at work, they had NO idea what they were looking at. It was a great conversation starter. :p

I shot this back in February, as I was still putting the new Nikon through it's paces to see what it could do. Discovered in a hurry that sitting on a tripod, using that time exposure option, I could get some great photos of the stars. Shot a great one of Orion, one of the most obvious of the constellations that I can pick up from the backyard during the winter, then thought "wonder how close I can get..."

And when I transferred the results to my PC and saw what the camera saw that I didn't, even through the LCD, I almost fell off my chair. :eek: The Nikon picked up stars that I didn't see, color variations that I couldn't see, and even neater, was that it actually picked up the Orion Nebula (fuzzy but definitely there) in the middle of the sword at the bottom of the pic :cool: It was at that point where I was really glad I'd spent the money on the Nikon. :D

It's not the prettiest photo in the world, but I was so amazed that it came out, I left it as wallpaper for quite a while. :)

(Just including a link to the 1280x960 pic, since it really loses a LOT of the detail at 640x480.)

[Corrine]

I'm going to have to try that when I get my Panasonic FZ30.

Maybe we can have photo contests in this forum. Best macro flower, best moon shots, best pet, best concert shot, stuff like that. That would be fun. We'd have to have different catagories: dSLRs, prosumer, and point & shoot, to make it more fair. Sound like fun?

i would be up for that :D

[bassgirl192]

this is mine. i made it in photoshop one day. but i didn't exactly make it for a 1024X768 screen......

here's a little bigger picture (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/Shelly_Elf/WAYTOGOLANCE.jpg) even photobucket downsized it. *sigh* oh well!

[MargiRose]

Cool picture Bassgirl! Lance is amazing! Here's the one on my other computer at work. Sarah (Ayfan) took this pic at the Lowell MA Wire concert last October.

[wbthornton]

I really like that pic Margi.....can you email it to me?


Here's mine.....

Yeah, I specifically requested the Come Together infinity logo, although I thought she would do the wings too. Maybe at 20,000 I will be more specific. :p

[g-man]

mine for the moment

[The Unknown Gomer]

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

[bassgirl192]

that is a sweet picture! i found mac right away. ;) hehe.....

i got a new one. i couldn't resist....it's switchfoot! who doesn't like switchfoot?! ;) (*got this one off the site, i didn't make it.....although i wish i did!!*)

[g-man]

" Did you photoshop it or is there actually an intersection with those two streets?"


somebody posted the pic so I believe it is legit.

[mercyGurl]

It's actually the intersection of "Day" and "Third" streets...which is why it looks funky...someone took it and switched which one was on top

[The Unknown Gomer]

It's actually the intersection of "Day" and "Third" streets...which is why it looks funky...someone took it and switched which one was on topAnd would that "someone" have been YOU, ma'am? You can tell me, I promise I won't rat you out to the street sign police. :p :cool:

[mercyGurl]

And would that "someone" have been YOU, ma'am? You can tell me, I promise I won't rat you out to the street sign police. :p :cool:

Nope...I tried to make my own "Third" and "Day" intersection, high-quality, but I didn't succeed...

[The Unknown Gomer]

Haven't spent a lot of time customizing the new laptop, but DID manage to change the desktop to get rid of the big obvious Compaq ad and put on something a little more spiffy.

Nothing to exciting, but at least I've got my favorite Irfanview graphics program installed and Real Arcade set up. Other than that, it's still pretty BORING on here. :rolleyes: :p

[Gandalf]

Nope...I tried to make my own "Third" and "Day" intersection, high-quality, but I didn't succeed...
Do you have HQ originals from which to work?

[Werwanderflugen]

Our background is a great picture of the Alamo my younger brother took... here goes:

[The Unknown Gomer]

Badumbum.

Geddit? "Remember the Alamo"?

Hello? *taptaptap* Is this mic on? :D

...

Seriously though... that's a neat shot. :) I love nighttime photography.

[mercyGurl]

Do you have HQ originals from which to work?

Well that was why it didn't work...because I was trying to FIND just a HQ picture of a street sign, and then was planning on putting in the words...but it didn't work because I never could find a HQ picture of any street sign.

[ayfan]

here is my screen :)

Very pretty, Sarah. :)

[bassgirl192]

i don't have background issues, i swear! ok....maybe i do.... :o ;) i made this one. i saw the pictures and the logo (all from switchfoot's site) and it all kinda came together in my head... the black splotch is my AIM name that only my friends have....i was getting weird IMs and i forgot to close out my AIM bar before i capped it.

Mine with it's Iona Abbey lecturn shot. Good times.

[SmileyFreak1981]

Hey y'all, here's my desktop...fresh outta the design presses... :D ...My commemorative Lubbock Mac Powell Gomer orange desktop backdrop. :D :p :cool: ;)

[The Unknown Gomer]

Yay! Finally, someone who I think might actually has more icons on their desktop than =I= do! :p

I did do a little housecleaning though, but I STILL can't seem to unbury Mark.

Here's mine these days; still happy and content with Sarah's 3D wallpaper celebrating the upcoming arrival of the new CD. :)

[Corrine]

Very NICE! The Stargate! WooHOO! :D I just saw your post under the other thread, have you ALWAYS been a Stargate fan?
Yep, ever since the movie. :cool: It's the one (well, two if you count Atlantis) show we watch every week, and tape if we have to miss. (Oh, until Lost comes back on. :D )

Hey y'all, here's my desktop...fresh outta the design presses... :D ...My commemorative Lubbock Mac Powell Gomer orange desktop backdrop. :D :p :cool: ;)
So you'd rather have a picture of Mac from Lubbock than of me playing his guitar on your desktop? ;) :p Very nice!

[msscarlet82]

hehehe... i changed it. :cool: this (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0501/orionNeb_ukirt_f.jpg) is my desktop image.

So you'd rather have a picture of Mac from Lubbock than of me playing his guitar on your desktop? ;) :p Very nice!

Sorry, Corrine, you got trumped! :D ;) :p I could, however, steal whomever's picture of you jamming and serve one up...that would actually be pretty cool...I was actually planning on doing one of each of the guys, but I gotta extract their pictures in Photoshop first...:)

[sethreese]

I changed to Glendalough...

[The Unknown Gomer]

I changed to Glendalough...Neat pic! Looks like it should be a jigsaw puzzle. :)

[sethreese]

Neat pic! Looks like it should be a jigsaw puzzle. :)
Just a snapshot from Ireland. But thanks. Maybe I'm not such a bad photographer.

[The Unknown Gomer]

Sorry, Third Day, had to finally give you the boot. But surely nobody can blame me, look at those little faces! :p

Finally got a good pic of all three new arrivals this afternoon after we gave them the run of (most of) the house for the first time since we brought them home Monday night.

That's pretty much what mine looks like. Mark and Brad are covered on mine though, and I have the windows classic display.

The people on my desktop are much better looking than Mac, Tai, Brad, Mark, or David.

Not to sound like a mom or organization freak here, but doesn't anyone use their My Documents folder? All that stuff on the desktop could be in nice, neat folders in your documents folder. (Sorry, but I am an organization freak! :p )

[The Unknown Gomer]

Not to sound like a mom or organization freak here, but doesn't anyone use their My Documents folder? All that stuff on the desktop could be in nice, neat folders in your documents folder. (Sorry, but I am an organization freak! :p )I NEVER use the My Documents folder, and don't even have it on the desktop anymore. Unfortunately, My Documents is on my very small C drive. After the OS was installed, it only left me with about 4 or 5 gb on that drive, with all the rest of my 120gb hard drive on the D drive instead. So most of my working directories and programs and files go onto the D drive instead, with just shortcuts to them on the desktop. If I'd been able to move the My Documents folder over to D, where all the space is, I probably WOULD use it. But I wasn't, so I don't. :p

But this should ease your organizationally happy mind, Corrine. :) I started using that program Iconoid, and ta-DAH! A completely icon free desktop. Well, they're there, but currently invisible.

[n4bgw]

Here is my screenshot.

I too use a double screen.

I am the same way with computer files. If i had to compare a snapshot of my computer files and my bedroom, you'd be in shock. How neat my computer files are and how messed up my room is.

I have folders, inside of folders, in folders, a folder for each period of my classes, and a file naming system for everything. It drives most people crazy, but it drives me crazy without it!

Jason,

Where did you get that background?

[Jason]

Jason,

Where did you get that background?

It's Actually a theme for Aston Shell ( http://www.astonshell.com/ ). It's called AquazZz but you have to surf through the site to find it. The author is frozzzen.

[Corrine]

My latest.

[The Unknown Gomer]

Here's mine...I keep rotating the WYA wallpapers on a fairly regular basis, trying to find my favorite, and lo and behold, finally got the one that matched my WinAmp skin. Martha Stewart should coordinate so well. ;)

I love the subway shot. Bet that was fun shooting on the angle of the escalator though. :eek: :D

BWAHAHAHAHA! :D

[SmileyFreak1981]

Here's my new one...I was bored a couple of weeks ago, so I opened up Photoshop, and created this --- and left ample space for all my desktop icons! :D

[The Unknown Gomer]

Tinkered some more.

HAD given 3D the boot in favor of the harvest moon shot I took last night, but with the show coming on Friday, that just felt SO wrong. :p

So I combined the two. Ta-DAH! Harvest moon AND Third Day. Now both sides of my brain are happy. :)

[ayfan]

gotta love the VeggieTales ;)

[The Unknown Gomer]

Cuuuute! :)

What are those little smiling green things with the hats, are those PEAS? They're adorable! If I was served those things on a plate, I'd want to make PETS out of them, not EAT them! :D

[Consuming Fire]

would show mine but mines too big....

[BigDaddy]

Mine was big, but I just saved it smaller and smaller until it met the size requirement. How do you guys get the big ones in?

[Gandalf]

Just use more compression (save it as, for example a quality 30 JPEG rather than a quality 90) to get the file size under 100k.

[msscarlet82]

It's changed again... :cool: thanks sherwood01 for the pic! ;)

[Aaron]

I had 2 black out my username and my friend's.

[jrbk]

I love black and I love my desktop clean. Although my desktop at work is cluttered, both computer and literal desktop... Here is my Laptop's desktop. Oh how clean...

http://www.jrbk.net/images/desktop.jpg

[mercyGurl]

here's mine. I took my new Third Day wallpaper and made it centered instead of stretched. so you can't see the whole thing, but it's sort of cool.

[Corrine]

This is a picture of the post office aboard the WWII era battleship Texas that I took. It's docked near Houston, and serves as a museum. I've been cleaning out my old pictures, and I thought I'd use it for a desktop for a while.

[mercyGurl]

I'm currently featuring a new Third Day wallpaper I made, but I really actually do not like this one, so I'm probably going to change it to Narnia-related something soon.

[Gandalf]

I'm probably going to change it to Narnia-related something soon.
Great idea! Anything written by Lewis is guaranteed to be excellent (and any movie released on my birthday can't be bad either ;))

[Werwanderflugen]

Here's a shot my mom took while she was in Toronto in May... and it's still serving as our background:

[The Unknown Gomer]

Here's the latest, from the Durham show...

Amazing how clean the desktop is (Mama would be proud! :p ), since I had to reset my C drive and Windows to its factory settings since for some reason :confused: it decided that it didn't want to boot up Monday night.

Just haven't had a lot of time to clutter it up yet.

"Yet" being the operative word. :rolleyes: Just give me time, I'm sure it won't take long...

[Jason]

Looks good. Although I think you need to purplify Mark.

[The Unknown Gomer]

I noticed that too, that he was the one pic that didn't follow the same color scheme as the rest of the desktop, but I like his expression in that one. :) And it was late, I was too tired to go through all the pics from last week to find another one to color coordinate.

I'm sure I'll continue to tweak the desktop as I go, but I'm still trying to restore my C drive into something that resembles something I recognize; given the fact that my PC wouldn't even start Monday night, I feel pretty lucky that have something other the factory installed Vaio wallpaper on the desktop at the moment. :D

[scbyd23]

Mine of the moment.

[mercyGurl]

I did add something from Narnia!!!

[The Unknown Gomer]

Third Day just got the boot off of my desktop this morning. *sniffle* ;)

Finally remembered to bring my camera to work this week and got a shot the Christmas lights that downtown Cary put up a week or so ago.

The BEST shot is one I didn't get, yet, but it involves setting the camera up on the tripod again and standing right in the middle of the street looking down the length of the street to get it. Haven't quite worked out the logistics yet so far as how to get the shot without getting flattened by the traffic, but I'm still working on that. :D

This one would be a much better shot without the RR crossing sign, but given that there are, not just one, but TWO sets of tracks there, I DON'T think anyone would be willing to take it down for me. :( ;)

[Corrine]

Here's the latest, from the Durham show...

I didn't like it, so I changed back though.That's very COOL! I want MY computer to look like that :D What does that say at the bottom? wincustomize.com? Oooh, off I GO!

...

...and here I'm back again! They've got so many options there, what did you use to make yours look like that? :confused: :) I found the "Christmastime" theme, but am not sure what, if any, special programs I need to put it all together...

[Aaron]

http://www.download.com/Holiday-Desktop/3000-2423-10474189.html?part=winmp&subj=dl&tag=feed&jump=winmp
that's where I got it, but I must warn you: it changes EVERYTHING and it is kind of hard to change back, you must change to the windows classic desktop and then back to xp.

I change my wallpaper all the time...but here is my Christmas wallpaper :)

that's where I got it, but I must warn you: it changes EVERYTHING and it is kind of hard to change back, you must change to the windows classic desktop and then back to xp.Thank you! :D This is awesome. Even the snowflakes on menu bar of the start menu are animated. I can see where it would be a little cluttered on a smaller monitor, but on my 19 inch desk hog, it looks super! :D

Wish I'd known that you could get this without installing that whole WindowBlinds program, but I was right in the middle of the WindowBlinds installation when I saw your post about the Holiday Desktop.

No matter. That'll give me something to tinker with after the holidays are over. :)

Oooh, I like this. :D My computer now has more holiday spirit than I do!

[The Unknown Gomer]

I change my wallpaper all the time...but here is my Christmas wallpaper :)That's neat! Even the dog has a Peanuts Christmas bandana. :D

[The Unknown Gomer]

My desktop changes fairly regularly too, I really liked that Christmas one, but since Christmas is over, I wanted to find something else.

To honor the last few days of the 37 cent stamp (I think they're going up sometime next week), plus the fact that I just think these are the coolest looking stamps around, taDAH! Here's my latest. :)

[scbyd23]

I have penguins now on my desktop. I took this one Saturday at Moody Gardens in Galveston.

Proof that I really AM tinkering with my photos from the Lynchburg show Friday night... :p

[kiwimobro]

Nice pic Karen!
(now where's the others?)

[The Unknown Gomer]

They're coming, they're coming! :D Gotta get dressed, start the laundry and get all the stuff done that I didn't do yesterday because I got in too late to start anything (just a diplomatic way of saying I didn't want to, I was too lazy after I got home :o ).

But they're resized, now I just have to sit down and start posting them.

[kiwimobro]

GETTING DRESSED! DOING LAUNDRY!! What kind of excuses are they for not getting you 3D shots out to the whole wide world??!! :eek: :p

[The Unknown Gomer]

I know, I know, I'm SUCH a slacker! A stain on the Gomer name.

But we're making progress. I AM dressed now! Yay! :D

"Pictures are closer than they appear" ;) :p

Hey Karen, are you using ObjectDock?

Time to gear up for baseball season again! Took this one last season at Minute Maid Park. I am really liking the wide screen on my new laptop :D

[The Unknown Gomer]

Hey Karen, are you using ObjectDock?Yep! Taking it for a test drive. Nice to have things handy, but it seems to make some of my apps a little sluggish unless I turn it off...

[TShafer]

Current desktop (photo is from Passion '06 in Nashville)

[TShafer]

And some of the nifty tools I hope to make a living using...

[scbyd23]

Yep! Taking it for a test drive. Nice to have things handy, but it seems to make some of my apps a little sluggish unless I turn it off...


yeah I used it for awhile and got the same results. I'm just not patient enough to wait around for things to open up for me.

[colinthebassist]

Here are my latest two backgrounds. Both have falling matrix code. One is overlayed onto a cityscape, and the other is the classic black. and yes the code moves.

[Aaron]

My desktop one day after reformating my hard drive. It put all the free trial icons back on my computer. :(

[mercyGurl]

Here's mine. It's the COBTM wallpaper that I made in the wallpaper request thread. I was going to put the Tunnel wallpaper that I just made up, but my family doesn't like it when I put the darker ones up. Plus, I like seeing that wonderful picture of Tai and Mac singing;)

But for some reason, Mark always is the one who gets covered up by my icons. I don't know why I always put him on that side. Hm.

I really like that windows skin. where did you get it?

I really like that windows skin. where did you get it?
It's Window Blinds 5. I got the free trial here (http://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/).

Press PrtSc and then go into MS Paint (or photoshop) and paste it.

[hoonah*]

MS paint? Microsoft paint?

[Aaron]

MS paint? Microsoft paint?
you got it.

Are you on Gtalk?

Edit: This is not working.... :confused:

[Aaron]

I'll get on.

Reason is so awesome.

yes, this is true. so is Live. :D

We have got to all chip in and get these guys headsets. I'm sick of mic stands getting in the way of great pictures!!! The rest of it looks cool. :)

[SmileyFreak1981]

I was kinda bummed about the mic stand too...but a lot of my pictures turned out really lame that night, so I was happy for what I could get! :D

So where do I contribute to the fund for the headsets? :p

[Corrine]

Here's the one I just made. It's so exciting to see it in print, on real tickets!!!! :D

[msscarlet82]

:eek: but that would lead to the "boy-band-look". :confused: eww.

[The Unknown Gomer]

Picked up a new game from Real Arcade tonight, Cosmic Stacker, and it uses some rather nifty backgrounds during gameplay, thought I'd grab one and change my desktop, just to have something different to look at. :)

[scbyd23]

Remember the Alamo.

[Corrine]

:eek: but that would lead to the "boy-band-look". :confused: eww.
Actually, have you seen the ones that preachers wear? They are almost invisible, and the little round mic at the end is flesh toned. Problem is, it looks like the guy has a big zit on their cheek. :p

[Gandalf]

Those don't have the audio quality of the "pop-star" style headworn mics, for singing - they're well suited for a preaching environment with low background noise, but that's about it.

[Corrine]

I knew someone would point that out. I was just mentioning those so I could comment on the zit thing. I didn't figure they'd be good for a rock band to use. :)

[Pamster]

Yes, I'm going thru withdrawls...

[The Unknown Gomer]

Y'all knew THIS was coming, right? The day after a 3D show, my wallpaper ALWAYS changes again. :D (subject to change again, as I go rooting through the 200+ shots I took last night, to weed out the good ones...)

Zoomed out as far as I could with this one, to get as much of the stage as I could, and well, sorry Mark, you didn't quite make it in this one, I barely managed to get Mac in there. And David was, as usual, hidden behind Mac most of the night. Argh.

But this was pretty much my view for the night last night. Had to dodge a todd or two in the front row, but made out okay. :)

[HotWireD]

My Desktop (at work). I will post my home Desktop later.

Don't ask... I just thought the shading and stuff was cool.... :P

[Aaron]

a pic I took yesterday at my grandma's house:

[baker12]

sharper image...still in my undies.

[mercyGurl]

I'm not screencapping it, but here's the picture I'm using. It's original size is 1600x1200.

Isn't it beautiful? Apparently it's a stained glass of Wolfville Baptist Church, Wolfville, Nova Scotia - the oldest continuing Baptist Church in Canada.

[Corrine]

Here's my newest one. It's the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. I miss Nashville.

[Storm~Angel~]

Here's mine, it's a picture I made of my "Storm Angel" (daddy). I'll probably never change it.

I couldn't figure out how to do the screen shot, so I uploaded it from my file.

[dawn-in-tahoe]

A little late on this thread. Here's mine. Hope it works! I had to shrink it quite a bit to fit..It seems so small compared to my screen. Guess I don't really get how to do this, but it's still pretty dandy.
Mine's Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe (of course!)

[Gandalf]

If you save it as a JPG instead of a BMP, you can keep a much higher resolution with the small file size.

[msscarlet82]

One of my ever changing wallpapers. ;)

Me, Glennjamin, Al and Saara (Glenn's brother and sister in law, just after their wedding).
Yes I'm listening to Phantom Of The Opera, the original London Cast Recording. :) Music nerd I am.
Dang it Sarah Brightman... you're making me sing soprano again! :p
When I get married, my husband and I are dancing to "All I Ask Of You" at our reception. ;) :cool: :D

This is my new one. I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to keep it like this.

[The Unknown Gomer]

This is my new one. I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to keep it like this.I've got pictures of my cats that look very much like that. :D Just as I'm snapping, they get curious. Ozzy is very good about that.

[The Unknown Gomer]

Very pretty, Karen!Thanks. It didn't last long though... Now I've got this screencap from Hoodwinked on there. :p

[bassgirl192]

salvador dali's work "Archeological Reminiscence of Millet's Angelus" i think is the title. correct me if i'm wrong. i love dali's work. it's very....uhm...interesting . there's just something about it that captures your attention.

[ChristChild]

I took this screen capture from The Phantom Menace DVD and have it centered on a black background with my desktop links above it. It is titled Obi Cuts Maul:

[hoonah*]

That is just too cool, ChristChild! I am going to steal it...kay? *laughs at look on Obi's face* I just recently(because of this thread) discovered screen shots. Here is one that I took from the Stormbreaker trailer:

[Aaron]

A pic from Gettysburg.

[hoonah*]

Pretty! Tres Pretty, Aaron!

My desktop currently with one of my fave Brad pics ever!

[ChristChild]

Another screen capture I thought was cool:

[hoonah*]

That is awesome!!! Which movie is it from? Episode III?

I have been meaning to get some screen captures from SW and The Island...I think that I will do that, now!

[ayfan]

here's my latest:)

[Jason]

here's my latest:)

That's gorgeous.

[ayfan]

Thanks! Those are the leaves of my Lily of the Valley plants. I gotta go out and take a picture of the flowers now that they are blooming.:)

[hoonah*]

Here is mine...a screen from The Island. I took my own...and it looked identical to that one...but I could not get it to paste on paint(it was just black...:rolleyes: ) and all of my photo editing programs are gone...so I found one just like it on a fansite. I did what you did, ChristChild...and put my icons around it! Thanks for the great idea!

[The Unknown Gomer]

here's my latest:)Oooh, I like that one. I've tried several times to get close ups of water droplets on plants, and have only gotten one that I've like the results of ONE time. :rolleyes: But "if at first you don't succeed..." and all that. The beauty of digital cameras, if it doesn't come out, try try try try try try again. :p

Yours came out GREAT!

[ChristChild]

Since you all seem to like plants, I have some I took with my digital camera:

[ayfan]

Since you all seem to like plants, I have some I took with my digital camera:
Very nice!!:D

[The Unknown Gomer]

I second that. Very cool. I love close up/macro photography. :cool:

[middletree]

Just put this together, taken from a recent trip to Florida:

[SmileyFreak1981]

I found this on a free stock photo place I go to...I thought it was cool...

[The Unknown Gomer]

Cute! And it SO matches your screen name as well. :D

[SmileyFreak1981]

I thought it would be somewhat appropriate...being a smiley freak and all. ;) :D :cool:

[scbyd23]

Newest.

[bassgirl192]

this is my new one i just put up. it's a weird angle of a switchfoot poster i have in my room. (yes, i have bright green walls. 2 to be exact. the other 2 are bright blue)

[ChristChild]

You have PowerDVD. That's what I used to get those screen captures I have been posting. :)

For example, this is the one I am using now:

[hoonah*]

Oh! I forgot to PM you ChristChild! Sorry!!! I do have PowerDVD and I got a screenshot just like I wanted! It works great! Thanks so much!

And that one that you just posted is really cool!!!

[ChristinChic788]

WOW Sarah that's awsome. Is it on your website? If not would you post it on the boards? I would like to have it for my computer.

[mercyGurl]

Sorry, it was a special request from a friend:). I promised her she could have an exclusive wallpaper

Lady Liberty gets a Makeover.

[The Unknown Gomer]

Lady Liberty gets a Makeover.How very Warhol-ish. :) I like it. Better than soup cans.

Here's my latest. Nothing spectacular, I just have this thing about the way the rafters are rigged at the RBC, I like the lines and angles in it. And the fact that this shot has the post-game confetti still raining down in it, that always makes me happy. :)

When I saw this shot afterwards, I was like "Oh, so THAT'S how that confetti ended up down inside the front of my t-shirt!" I'd felt it in there after I got home, and was so afraid it was a bug or something since I'd just come from outside :eek:, then pulled it out, saw what it was, and just went "Whew!". :D

[The Unknown Gomer]

New concert, new desktop. :)

Although this one is probably only temporary, until I sort through all the concert shots. :D

The fireworks display after the show was fantastic; this was my first time using the Nikon to try to get photos (and QT clips, THOSE came out really nice) of them. I would have done better with a tripod, but alas, I'd left that in the trunk of the car that we DIDN'T drive to the stadium. :rolleyes: Despite that, got SEVERAL decent fireworks shots; this is the current one I've got on the desktop...

Well that was why it didn't work...because I was trying to FIND just a HQ picture of a street sign, and then was planning on putting in the words...but it didn't work because I never could find a HQ picture of any street sign.

Y'all have awesome desktops!

Someone (I forgot who---I'm sorry!) posted the original "Day Third" picture, as mercyGurl said, so I took the liberty of photoshopping it. I have the original still somewhere...

heart,

[The Unknown Gomer]

It's been almost a month, and nobody has posted anything new, so since I finally changed my desktop for the first time since the Fort Mill show, I thought I'd post my latest. I shot this at the Roanoke Rapids concert last weekend...

With all the discussion going on about which is better, PC or Mac, I thought as a long time PC user that I'd finally give a "Mac" a try. :p

Although, I don't know how long I'll leave this up, it's kind of spooky that no matter where I stand in my room, he's still LOOKING at me. I feel like I'm living in "The Mystery Spot" back in Santa Cruz. :eek: :D

Well...the old thread is gone, now. Time to start over, so post your screenies!

Edit-Ok, the old thread is not gone, it just did not turn up in a search. But here is a new one, anyways.

Here is my current one, made with Paintshop Pro using pictures from my recent mission trip-

[The Unknown Gomer]

Gone? :confused: It's still there (http://www.thirdday.com/boards/showthread.php?t=77343), all 17 pages of it. :)

As a PC user, I've always been curious as to what having a Mac desktop would look like, so I gave it a try. :p I've been using this one since the Roanoke Rapids show last month.

[danbos]

Here's mine. I made it of Jeremy Camp using paint shop pro, after i saw him in concert.

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

Haha...good one...:p That is an awesome shot of Mac!

And Danbos, that JC desktop is pretty 1337! ;)

[The Unknown Gomer]

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. :D

And Danbos, I second her vote, that's an awesome screenshot. :cool: I've always liked the shot of J from that CD cover. *sigh* Jeremy Camp in concert, what a novel concept. I saw him at Kingsfest, and with the new CD coming out, I'd planned on definitely catch him on the new tour. EXCEPT, he's not playing anywhere NEAR here this fall! *sniffle*

[danbos]

I saw him at Lifelight Festival in Sioux Falls, SD. It was awesome.

[danbos]

haha, i changed it already. i usually change my background about every other day. this one is a picture i took of a little girl named Reka in the orphanage we visited on a mission trip to romania this summer.
