My first, (and my favorate) computer generated art was this peice called "inward outlook"

I've always been curious how people make the images they paste into comments here. So, I hope you all don't mind me asking. What were the steps you used to get your image into your comment? I teach and am always interested in the way others do things so that I can help me and my students better.

..Just to know if it is worth going out...

I just use the standard Apple Mac blue screen.

jimw, the way that I post an image is: 1 - go to a free image host like - imageshack.us 2 - upload your photo 3 - once uploaded, right-click and copy the relevant code 4 - paste it in here, in your comments box 5 - make sure the HTML button below the comments box is checked 6 - hit Add Your Comments!

NickE

Maybe using the thumbnails would be a better idea, strawberries (in regards to your earlier posts)

What I really meant to ask is how do you take a picture of you desktop and resize it so that the image will fit nicely in the comment? What tools do you use, if any? I guess I am not very good at this because all my screen captures never come out the way I want them. Maybe this question is more relevant now that we have some thumbnail images and extremely big pictures here. Thank you.

Ben

Upload the full-size to Flickr, and then use the thumbnail images Flickr generates.

I have this (the 1280x1024 one). And I've had it for quite a while now. I don't really like wallpapers with much on them. I like it when the whole left side is kind of neutral, dito for the upper and bottom right corners, where I tend to have icons.

I'm an old-fashioned man who thinks that all that photo-details make the icons harder to identify in the desktop. Thus, I'm using a steel-blue uniform color for the background.

Now I'm thinking I'm don't really have icons in the desktop... I'm using a contextual menu in the background to obtain the list of tasks and another to get the main menu. Thus, I don't know why I'm still using the simple color in the background. I'm really old-fashioned.

It's hard to find good wallpaper for a 1440x900 res, but I did nab this one from deviantART.
