O&M desktops...

.png works well. And jpg isn't too bad, if you use about 75% compression on the bitmap. The poor jpgs tend to be about 20%.<br><br>I think.

I use "Maximum" quality for my JPEGs <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

My current desktop is a cute print by Marci McAdam, Photoshop-ed to include a dark blue sidebar for my icons, the title of the print, and my usual "FJL 2004" signature in case anyone else wants to use it.<br><br>View it <a href='http://fusiontechva.net/FJL/hosted/FJL/bground.jpg' target='_blank'>here (1500kb JPG, 1600x1200)</a>

I still have Win 98 and am not using a background picture at all, just a deep red colour i picked when customizing my desktop on a day i was bored. I have no idea if it's possible to get a picture of my desktop with 98 but it's not interesting anyway so it's not important.<br><br>Also seeing the amount of icons people have on their desktop staggers me, all my desktop icons fit in one column on the left hand side. As you can guess i don't play any games or download much stuff.

My desktop is currently a picture I took at Fright Fest. It looks like something from a horror movie.<br>No O&M desktop. :-(

I used to use a "You're weird." "I know." wallpaper but then I changed it to a very nice fang shot.

[Ozymandias]

cool.<br><br>yeah, I guess I shouldve said which one im using. Its "Geopolitical Subtleties". In 1024x768 the line under the 'Howz' goes just above the taskbar.

I decorated my desktop with a dark purple and avoided using a background image, but I have considered a couple images to use from time to time. I only have eight icons on the desktop, four rows in two columns, because that way they match up with the arrangement in the Desktop "Quick Launch"-style toolbar. Since my desktop is plain purple, I thought I'd let you see my "Local Stuff" folder and the customized SendTo.<br><br>You can make a screen capture by using PrintScreen (or Alt+PrintScreen if you just want the current window); you need only paste it into Windows Paint and save the bitmap to make it a file. Once there, you can open it in some photo editor and convert the image to whatever you want.<br><br>EDIT: Hm.. Display seems to have dithered where it shouldn't. *uses PhotoShop 5.0 LE*

Sadly, no O&M, but I love my desktop enough to share it with you all.<br><br><a href='http://home.ripway.com/2004-5/111630/screenshot.jpg' target='_blank'>My Desktop.</a><br><br>The background was stolen from Phoxphyre's own website, but I haven't seen any of his old backgrounds up since, so I'm glad I grabbed it when I did! And thanks, Phoxphyre!
