mountainman 0 #1 June 18, 2002 It's that time again.....Post your desktop and let others know what kind of person you really are. As you can tell, I'm a pretty organized person. I made this up today after seeing that everything was in perfect lines for different uses. Haha!Let's see yours!! JumpinDuo.com...news, pictures, skydiving and links.

indyz 1 #4 June 18, 2002 I'm a simple person. No background image since it's always covered anyway. Simple blues because it's easy on the eyes.Technical crap: I'm running XFree86 4.1.something on a linux kernel that is getting a little bit dated (2.4.10pre-9). The window manager is Fluxbox, which is based on the now-defunct Blackbox window manager. It fits with the whole simple philosophy quite nicely. I usually run at 1024x768 on single monitor, but my graphics card will handle dualhead just fine. If anybody has a couple of matching LCDs that they want to send my way...--Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites drenaline 0 #16 June 18, 2002 Easy dude, here is how I do it:downsize all windows or close them, when you get a look at your desktop press the "print scrn" (usually is in the upper right of the keyboard) key in your keyboard (its like doing a cut/copy of the entire screen), now go to the paintbrush (or any equivalent program) and paste it then save it as an .jpg (takes less memory).It can also be used to steal images that you can't save from other places.
