TheJackal_jk2 Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 I haven't seen any threads with this topic yet. So I figures I might as well get it started! Here's mine. (click here to see the real size 1152x864) preview: For those that will ask, I use WindowsME and those icons are custom, they are not part of the WindowsME package.
Guest Kvan Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 Gee, Jackal I guess your proud of your country Here is mine....
TheJackal_jk2 Posted August 18, 2001 Author Posted August 18, 2001 I never get wallpapers off the internet. I allways make my own. Mainly because I cannot find wallpapers that I really like. And I also like simple designs. I have like 5 dif versions of that wallpaper. Black, one with a beaver in a canoe (sounds wierd but its cool) and etc.

TheJackal_jk2 Posted August 18, 2001 Author Posted August 18, 2001 Chris, you were right! It's much nicer. Where did you get that? update: FOUND IT! http://www.space.com/php/multimedia/imagedisplay/wallpaper_display.php?pic=earthatnight_1280.jpg
Guest Kvan Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 Nice pic ChrisC3po! So it looks like Jackal has icq...hmmmm...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 I always get one from http://www.desktopstarships.com they have a bunch of good ones. I would like to know how to make one like mine on my own, but i can't even come close. Anyways, here's the one that i had on my laptop
Guest Kvan Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 Tie, do you like the color brown? It seems thats what you make your browser color on all your computers.. And EWWW! You have AOL!
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 Yes, the browinsh color is much easier on your eyes i think, and it just looks better than plain white or black, IMO. Anyways, i have cable (roadrunner) it is mainly my sister who uses AIM.

Anyways, i have cable (roadrunner) it is mainly my sister who uses AIM. Well I usually switch my browers color according to what my Background is. I try and keep with a theme ICQ is much better! I mean look, you can talk to Chrisc3po or Jackal or even YD! They all have ICQ
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 I should probably know this but.....ICQ? Anyway, i switched the one on my laptop top often, what else was i gonna do during school?
Mitth'raw'nuruodo Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 WHAT'S ICQ?!?!?! I have no clue what it is. Don't laugh. I'm just kind of naive unless someone beats it into my head (unless its Star Wars of course). BTW TIE, where did you get that awesome A-wing pics?
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 I got it at http://www.desktopstarships.com They have like 14 pages of pics like that. You have to sign up i think, but it is free.
Guest Sherack Nhar Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 Here's mine: However, it's bound to change soon, as I switch my desktop background almost every week...
Guest Kvan Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 You don't need to sign up there to take their pics. ICQ is an instant messager.
Young David Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 Originally posted by Sherack Nhar However, it's bound to change soon, as I switch my desktop background almost every week... Every weak? I change it every 4 hours .. I use webshots. Currently I have (looks) the R2-D2 desktop from SW.com. But I could easily change it to (presses some buttons on keyboard) Battle of Yavin wallpaper ... also from SW.com ... or (buttons again) lego X-wing from lego.com or (buttons) Calvin and Hobbes ... I could go on for a while ... cause I have 104 wallpapers circulating
Cillo Kwi'ley Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 I like things kept simple and it shows on my desktop...
Guest Kvan Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 Originally posted by Cillo Kwi'ley I like things kept simple and it shows on my desktop... Yup, thats about as simple as a desktop gets!
TheJackal_jk2 Posted August 18, 2001 Author Posted August 18, 2001 How to show us your desktop: -Press the print screen button near the backspace button. -That stores a picture of your screen into the clipboard (just like copy and past but instead of text, it's an image) -open up a imaging program (ex: MsPain, Adobe Photoshop, PhotoPaint, etc) -press paste (if nothing happens, you may have to create a new image with the size of your current resolution) -save it to your hard drive now, To post it on this thread: -at the bottom of the reply form, there is a section called "Attack file" Click browse (choose your file) and then click "submit reply" You might get a message saying the image is too big. In that case, you need to get a site to upload your image. There are numerous places for that. ex: xoom.com, imagehoster.com (or something like that. Just make a search for "free image hosting" on altavista.com
Mitth'raw'nuruodo Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 Simple? I'll say! That is one SIMPLE red X! White background, red X in middle. That's simple alright! BTW How do you fit all your icons on that tiny thing?
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 http://www.webspawner.com works very well, they let you leech, but they also only let you have 1 pic.
Guest Boba Rhett Posted August 18, 2001 Posted August 18, 2001 Thought it was going to be Star Wars related didn't ya?
