So what this thread is about is basically taking a picture of your desktop and showing whats on them.
On the mac to do this:-
Hold apple key + shift then press 3
Upload the picture
(probably a good idea to change the picture to gif or jpeg)
I have two styles of desktop that I like to use, so these are them
first one
and the
second one.

to do it with windows, hit print screen (next to scroll lock)...it will copy a picutre of the screen to the clipboard. you can paste that into whatever you like, and then save it.

The 2 wallpapers I use most often are on this page
I've got a few more, but they're mainly active webpages that have stuff like bubblewrap on so they don't look too impressive as just a picture.
edit - Before you ask, I'm not really that obsessed with monkeys

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

funny, just today i was thinking of starting a topic asking if you people ever use poi pics for your desktop..
personally, right now i'm usin phunkyz pic with the red n blue swirls all around, on a black background.
i wonder if phunky ever thought he'd end up as a desktop?

All of my backgrounds are dark (dark colors i.e black, dark purple, dark blue) because my eye are sensitive to the refresh rate. Even if it's at it's highest.
Dark, for once is good (besides when your spinning )
