Desktop Meme

I swiped this a long time ago from [livejournal.com profile] indigocub But I wanted to finish my Apple
Green Trilly Skin
before I displayed.

Da Rulez!
1) Take a screenshot of your desktop.
2) To capture a desktop:
For PC: Press "Print Screen" (prt sc) button.
For Macs: Shift+Apple+3.

Actually, I use a program called Image Grabber for this, because it captures EVERYTHING, including my widgets and so on.)

3) Open your graphics program-o-choice.
4) Press CTRL + V or select edit & paste.
5) Save image as a *.jpg, *.png, or *.gif.
6) Upload the screenshot to your image server.
7) Post your screenshot in YOUR blog (not mine) along with these instructions.

I'm going to shrink this down to a size that it will fit my layout, and give a link to the full size image if you click on it.

Click the Pixie to see the full size

So I'm sure you all know I love FMA, so there's the proof. Funniest thing about this desktop is that My!Ed... from Chasing the Trail claims he doesn't actually know how to ride a bike. But I still love this drawing.  See my widgets? Yay!

Geeze... can you even see it? I'm still trying to repair it so that it actually DISPLAYS the thing. >_<

Now I've got it fixed. ^__^

It took some inventive tweaking of the url you gave, but I FINALLY got it.

nice. I can't figure out where in the name of god my machine saves the print screen's to

Hrm... well... It's supposed to save them to the clipboard.

so that you can paste them to your graphics program using <CTRL V> but I don't know about you, but that rarely if ever works for me anymore. I have a little bitty prog called Image Grabber that I found.. it's freeware, which is also rare... and it works great. you tell it to go to screen capture mode and when you have the elements on the screen that you want, you click the "grab image" button on the little popup and there it is.. you can save it wherever you want right from that program too if you don't want to move it into another prog.

Let me see if I can find it.

Ok... here is the linky: http://www.download.com/Image-Grabber/3000-2192_4-10539321.html?tag=pub

This is not free as I thought. I forgot, but it's a free trial for 30 days, and then only $5.99 to buy it. I had forgotten that I'd actually paid for mine. I'm still using version 1.1 and it works great. Well enough that I was willing to actually pay that paltry sum to keep it! hee!

i'm not sure i can download it here. But send it along. I can download it at work

[identity profile] ishte.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
I gave the link here... you should be able to download it from wherever. this is not a very big program, so probably you could download it. It might be a meg and a half. Smaller than if I sent you a song.

ah cool. i missed the link but I was able to use ctrl V this time

Winry says Ed looks awfully...intense there. Maybe he's trying very hard not to fall over. *grins*

[identity profile] ishte.livejournal.com 2008-02-11 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Ed says that he habitually looks intense. She's just gotten so used to him looking at her with a mushy heart and adoration in his eyes that she doesn't know what to do with his normal expression. *snicker*

I don't know, that mushy face? I see that when he's not yelling at me.
