View Full Version : Achtung! STRIP YOUR DESKTOP!

Hasn't been that long since someone posted a similiar thread, so I'm doing this because I'm always curious as to what others' desktops look like :D:love::p

Post a screencap of what your desktop looks like right this moment (don't change anything! Just screencap it immediately after you read this) and add a short description of what we're looking at (whether it be a game/anime character, scenery, a photo you or someone else took etc.).

Here's what mine looks like now:

http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/4716/deskfuj.th.jpg (http://img30.imageshack.us/i/deskfuj.jpg/)

This wallpaper features a game character from TEKKEN 6 BR; Lars Alexandersson :3 I chose this because aside the fact he's cool and looks fabulous (Zagen :3!), he's Swedish (finally namco!) and I'm proud that he gets to represent my country in TEKKEN 6 :3

I also adore the colours; warm yet fiery and they're a comfortable combination for a desktop.


Okay so go ahead! Cards on the table people! :cool:
And please don't be lazy! It only takes a min :choc:

Clean and simple, really.

EDIT: Oh, right. This is some wallpaper I found of Anemone and Eureka from Eureka Seven. It looks nice and isn't hard on the eyes. What more can I say? *shrug*

Press 'Prnt Scrn' while viewing your desktop.
Open Paint
Press Ctrl+V
Save it
Attach it

and you're done~ :p

Hmm, I'm not seeing those anywhere. Does being on a laptop have anything to do with that

I use a laptop, and I'm staring right at the 'Prnt Scrn' key as I type this. :p

What kind of laptop do you have? :sweat:

07-30-2009, 09:12 PM
Toshiba. I think I may have found the key you speak of. 'prtsc sysrq'? Also, I don't think I have paint.

:crying2: I just wanted to be part of something special!

Nope, not that I can see. I wouldn't be surprised really. My dad had it made specifically for college stuff, writing mostly, so it most likely doesn't have it.

Thanks for the info though. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle!

Paint should be a basic feature on any computer. It should be under Accessories. If not, search for the program itself.

http://www.notebookreview.com/assets/19101.jpg. This may or may not be what your keyboard looks like but it should give you a decent idea. Next to the F12 key is a button that will say something along the lines of "Prt Sc" or Prnt Scrn" and have alternate text that will say "Sys Rq". His this button and you should get your desktop copied to your clipboard. Then go to Paint, or any image manipulation program, and paste it. Save, upload. Should be able to do it regardless of your computer.

I don't have a desktop.

Also, I use Google Chrome and have had very little issues with it. Firefox, on the other hand, takes too long to load and slows down my computer by an enormous amount.

I just got my hands on the Aion beta, played it once, and I've been too lazy to uninstall it...:D It's pretty to look at, but it's pretty generic.

And I'm actually quite liking Windows 7...except how it deals with Bethesda games like Fallout 3 and Oblivion. I can't even exit out of Fallout without the game crashing!

Momiji

It's a different clock from the default one that generally is on the sidebar. It comes with a bunch of dumb images too, but you can designate which folder you want the images to come from (I picked about 14 or 15 from my Strawberry Marshmallow folder and made a separate folder for them) and set it to change every hour.

I like these kinds of threads, so might as well try to keep this alive! xD

Luckily I've cleaned up my desktop, normally it's pretty messy. It's just a quick wallpaper I made of a Wii game called Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon, but I like the picture.

There's normally a clock and calender and stuff at the side, but for some reason the screen capture dosen't show it for some reason. Hmm, oh well.
