Open your favorite image editor and hit 'print screen' (on your keyboard). Open a new documant in that image editor and select paste from the edit menu. It should come up.

tavenger5

08-11-2002, 12:12 AM

gee.. you guys run pretty small resolutions. (800x600?) I should seriously make another style set for the forums for people with smaller resolutions. It would eliminate the the left menu and put mostly everything up top. This would make more room for the board pages to display. humm..

§ereña

08-11-2002, 12:22 AM

whats ur resolution tpearl?

ENIGMAofREALITY

08-11-2002, 12:27 AM

I changed it some.. is that what you meant?

tavenger5

08-11-2002, 12:28 AM

The system lets the registered user select a 'style' for the board pages. Right now there's only one. (obviously) But if I wanted to change the colors or change stuff around, these different styles could be used. I could also make certain forums look different using the same feature. That's not needed though.

So .. I could make a style the did away with that left menu and made more room.

§ereña

08-11-2002, 12:32 AM

i meant the res. of ur desktop...:):):)

Serena, did you edit your post? I swear it didn't say that before. :) It's 1024x768

ENIG, funny :laugh: Love the matrix. My screen saver is the green running numbers. Fits my computer good. (I gotta get some updated pics, but the cast is still the same: http://degster.com/pics/computer/ )

:boink:

I put all of those icons in the start bar myself... because I use all those programs a lot.. I hate a cluttered desktop as much as I hate taking three steps or more to run a program.. so I make it quick an' easy with the bar at the bottom.. LOL

This isn't taken by me but I could take one similar if the sky isn't so cloudy or hazy most of the time.

sarah you can go searching for wallpapers and you'll find one you like and some websites have the full size picture you can download then you load the picture in your web browser then right click it and you will see an option to set it as your desktop and you will have an none green desktop (except if you chose another green themed wallpaper)

heya Angelus..nice desktop...of course i've seen it trillions of times since i'm ur sis..lmao..i'm online just 4 a while 2 check if they had updated the jaring account balance (it's 11 pm!) no,i'm not watching W.L.I.I.A.? ..malas..hehe..
artistdude88...it's actually my icq but since i'm using a linkin park skin, that LP symbol appears instead of the green flower when i'm online.

It took me a while to figure out how to do this on my Mac (no fancy "print screen" buttons!". I actually have my desktop to change screens every five minutes but I like it when my G4 Girl comes around.
You can see why I like to play with my computer a lot!

This wallpaper i just created 3 days ago...it's kinda blurry but i think it's cool..i used the windows classic style scheme to give it a dull, scary look...and Angelus, thanx 4 da pic!!! See how ingeniously i've invested with it :boink:

what's wrong with my english. is it because of the "boxm"? it is just a typograpical error, its suppose to mean as "box". sorry for the "M" though.

well what i meant is that if you are using windows xp, try getting some skins, icons, wallpapers, boot screens, and logins at www.themexp.org

for win98, try www.themeworld.com
