    How on earth do you get a pic of your entire desktop up?! Mine isn't very exciting. Here's the little picture I have in the middle of the black background anyway:

    on your keyboard, hit Print Screen. this captures the screen and
    holds it in the clipboard. then open any graphics program, paste
    from the clipboard, and save, preferably as a *.jpg


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭Spunog UIE


    yup, ya can do the same job through most graphics programs screen capture, gives the thumbs up for Paint Shop Pro for everyfink.

    Nice "black bunny" icon in your taskbar.. that what i think it is? :P ;);)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    No, it's the icon for GLminesweeper. I drew it myself several years ago.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 760 ✭✭✭BoobeR


    nice ones guys, to get the theme Sangre you'll need too download StyleXP first.

    What program are you using for your desktop Gideon?
    Usually programs like those lag the hell out of games etc, thats why i use StyleXP, its pretty much 0% CPU usage when you look at it in CTRL+ALT+DEL (WinXP)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 760 ✭✭✭BoobeR


    By the way gideon.. Posts: 1334 .. get ready to PrintSCREEN ;) Just for the sake of it :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭Spunog UIE


    using win2k pro, i really didn't like winxp when i was using it.

    I'm using Talisman with it, it doesn't use any cpu for me but uses 7984k mem which i don't really mind. The biggest hog of anything on my computer is mozilla but its well worth it and thats cos i have the quick start thing enabled. Can always close them if i'm playing games but generally don't notice any difference. Only really do that for compiling crap.

    1335... :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,772 ✭✭✭woolymammoth


    meh latest... 1600x1200 | 800x600

    Don't be stupid WoolyMammoth, you hit print screen on your keyboard, open MS Paint, save the image as bitmap (*.bmp) and then link the image directly into your post. None of this attatched image crap.
