Pretty desktops, guys! :)

Yeah, pretty.

How do you make a screenshot? Do you just do it the simple way I think you do with a digital camera, or what?

Paco

03-22-2006, 08:55 PM

There should be a key on your keybaord on the top row (With all the F1, F2 etc) and it will say something like prtSc (Thats is what it says on mine)

Arwen

03-22-2006, 08:57 PM

lol On mine is says:

PrtScn
SysRq
Insert

all on one key! :lol:

Katja

03-22-2006, 09:07 PM

OK, I've got a key that says Print Screen. Do I just press it?

Arwen

03-22-2006, 09:10 PM

Yep, then you'll need to paste it into a program like PSP or PS or MS Paint! :)

Oh, yay, I've finally gotten it. Here's (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a384/kittybklvr/desktop.jpg) my pretty desktop! (apparently very tiny... I can't seem to get it to work right now that I've gotten it)

Messy messy desktop. Or I guess I could say that it's just uh.... busy. Haha. I need to change it again. I'm actually getting tired of it, it's kind of dreary. Maybe I'll put Pirates of the Caribbean up there next!!! :D

Yours is cool too bklvr, from what I could see of it. (Didn't have my contacts in and I'm almost blind without them)

I know what you mean, when I download stuff it goes straigt to my desktop, every other day or so I make a new folder and mover everything that I dont need into there. I've got about 7 different folders now.

As you can see, the background is a sign of net boredom. I just typed in "drater" (read it backwards) into google and that's how i found it.

I downloaded it, it's a imitation of Vista. I'd get the real vista but I can't go without my PC Games. :(

There are fantastic icon sets here (http://browse.deviantart.com/icons/os/win/?view=1&order=9&limit=24) for your computer. :)

This (http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=441771) should help you in changing your default icons to customised ones.
