Computer desktop

[jon-monon]

Thot ya might like to see what I'm doing today! I'm clening up to make some disk space on this old server.

Anyone else have a railroad theme on their computer?

 

[Dave Flinn]

Yup. My desktop has a picture of me in the cab of Santa Fe 3751, taken last Summer at the NRHS Convention in Williams, AZ. Also, my screen saver is a collection of miscellaneous photos, some of which include some unique steam locomotives, which a friend sent me, and some pictures of the original American Freedom Train.

Nope. I like rocket ships! Here's my desktop - the only part of my life that is so uncluttered.

Hmmm Jon...does that program you're running allow backgrounds within it? Some of our databases at work do that.



I have this at home, I dont know what this is..but I like it

aartwmich - it's not a program, it's 6 different transparent windows open and showing the background wallpaper through them. I have them set to 30% shade and red tint so I can see the text. In Linuxland, a terminal is somewhat like a DOS or command window on a Windows box. The big one in the middle with coloured text is just a directory listing showing permissions, file owner and color coded name indicating the file type. The three on the left are sitting idle, and the two to the right are just text editors with a list of files from a search. Each file is an image of someones hard drive, and I've been sorting them out and deleting obsolete and duplicate ones. Now I'm crosseyed, so I'm gunna go do some N scale work. Oh, ya, in the upper left is a grey square with a paper clip and I can go to one of the other 9 desktops by clicking it, like the one that always has a browser open to the-gauge on it! Love everyone's cool desktops! Any more?!?!?!?!?!?

Well, my wife likes the different space images from Hubblesite.org for our desktop. Here is what I am using right now, the Cone Nebula.

I've no idea how to make an image of it, but my wallpaper and screensaver are Colorado narrow gauge, from a CD sent by some cousins-in-law.
Screen saver is nice, until the monitor shuts down.

Hi David
It's really easy to do....bring your desktop up and press 'ALT' and 'Print Screen' <--it's beside F12
Then open your graphics program (Paint Shop) and press 'Ctrl' and 'V' and your image should pop up. Then you can manipulate it's size and save as a .jpg or .gif or whatever you prefer.
Here's mine:

Michael that's one cool desktop! I guess you've seen the pix of the Eagle Nebula - that's my personal fave.

cheers

[rockislandmike]

I change my wallpaper regularly at both home and work, but it's always a train-related photo (often from Trainorders).
