I am curious to seeing what everyone's background. Here are a couple that I run on my PB 12 with 20" ACD.

Um, how do I post my desktop picture as you did?

///Milien · Nov 6, 2003, 05:18 PM

Cmd+Shift+4
Hold down mouse and drag from one corner to another (image will be saved as a PDF)
Convert PDF into .gif format, e.g. ImageReady
Host file on a webserver, e.g. .Mac
Link image to message

Hope that helps.

Have a problem doing this

- I was hoping I could upload the image to macnn directly.

FYI, Cmd + shift + 3 is a faster way to take the screenshot.

Thanks,
BKB.

P.S. Could I PM the file to you to upload?

///Milien · Nov 6, 2003, 05:42 PM

Sure.

How do you get rid of the dock background? That's a great look.

///Milien · Nov 6, 2003, 06:12 PM

Check out www.unsanity.com; download Application Enhancer and Clear Dock. Installation is self-expanatory.

Panther tested

Can't seem to PM you my image file. Same issue: I think I need to upload it somewhere first.

Cool Dock Effect - didn't notice it at first but it looks great.

Here's the background on my 12 inch PB.

Here's the current desktop on my 12" PowerBook. I just threw this together in Photoshop using a couple of standard Apple backgrounds and a scan from a Spongebob Squarepants coloring book. But I colored Patrick myself... and I didn't go outside the lines!

How do you get that thing working? I have a black background what do I do?

Hey Stogieman,

Like your desktop. Can you post a link to where you got it from and perhaps the Finding Nemo icon set.

Thanks,
Noah

i'd love to get that desktop for my girlfriend's computer (she loves patrick.) Perhaps you could send it to me?

My leafy desktop

I got creative with my 5 year old son and some nice Autumn leaves.

Could someone please explain how you are showing your picture? Not by link but just showing it on the Macnn forum like everyone else is doing. I wanna show my desktop.
Thanks

I use lots of different ones as the mood strikes me, but I usually end up coming back to this one:

You can get the desktop picture here.

Xicons is where you can get the Finding Nemo Icons.

Very cool idea. Didn't know that you could capture the screen image with Cmd Shift 3 & 4. Any other nifty pointers you guys know about?

Here are three of my favorites:
