Go to the desktop, press Print Screen, open MSPaint, ctrl-v, save the picture and host it on an webserver.

Either you can ask a board member if they are willing to host it for you or you can get a free webhost.

Will post after I get around to debianizing qtcurve and installing it. Liquid got boring, and felt weird without a good matching gtk theme.

EDIT:

800x600, 16 bit color, and I am aware that some of the icons don't fit the desktop theme.

I'm still using the same desktop I've been using for months.

You got it from me.

Well, in any case my corrent Desktop... The Valley of Rivendel, also by Ted Nasmith. It's a bit too high, so I had to clip a bit from the bottom and just a little bit from the top.

Oh yes, thank you again. And thanks for this new one

Using .txt trick when not inlining pics is worse than useless, since one then has to go through the trouble of right clicking, saving, then renaming, then displaying, instead of just copy and pasting into URL bar, since it just attempts to display as text.

Anyways, here's mine:

Copy and paste, remove space after http:

If it doesn't work the first time, hit [Enter] in url bar again, or try again with ? after .png

My Windows 2000 desktop

Yes, I realise that many of the icons are broken.

But thats because when I installed XP on this computer I mostly abandoned 2k. 2k is kinda my backup OS if I lose the main OS (Win XP).
And thats exactly what happened a few days ago, but on friday I can get my hands on a XP CD so I that it can be fixed.

And the XP desktop is much, much prettier to look at.

My Desktop

Behold the mass of icons! Just as the floor is the best place to keep shit in your bedroom, the desktop is the best place to keep shit in your computer!

Finally got around to changing my wallpaper. This is only the 3rd one I've had in the 6 years I've had this computer. Shrunken down from the original 1024x768 size.

Edit: I'm suddenly reminded of the prank where you take a sreenshot of the desktop and use it as the wallpaper after hiding all the icons. The poor sucker clicks away on the desktop "icons" and panics when nothing happens.

I typically make - or edit - my own desktops. This is the current one I did, because I loved the movie so much, replacing the character faces with those of mine and people I know...

From left to right: My friends Dana, Flip, Chris, and then, licking the skull, is me.

EDIT: And, if anyone cares, here is the full-sized, ultra-huge, 1600x1200 image.

Isn't that fun?

Usually you can mess with people pretty good without even hiding the real icons. At work we have computers in which you have to log onto first but while they are in sleep mode they sometimes display the previous desktop. That really screws with people when it's the screencap version.

Taken at 1024x768, so looks crappy on Exploder unless you have some sort of god-resolution.

Muahahaha. Have you played the Trogdor game?
