I am not running Jaguar right now, but I do have a modified version of the desktop pic that I borrowed from one of you guys reading this (I forget who exactly). I used Transparent Dock, as most others probably did, and I used TinkerTool to modify the font for the clock.

It's Myriad! :p

I'm only 18, and still *thankfully* not married and so can enjoy lifes little perks ;) :D
...such as these wallpapers....boy do I love dual screens!
 
OK I think I fugured this one out.
The Reasons an Apple+Shift+3 Picture distorts color, is it is taken for Print. I converts the RGB of your screen into CMYK, Thus loosing many of the vibrant screen Colors of True Blue and True Red.
However, an Apple+Shift+4 Screen Capture takes the picture for digital use, there for no conversion occurs. Saving Colors like the Blue of My desktop from turning Purple.

BTW: Could Someone Point me in the direction of a reliable way to have a completely transparent dock. I've tried three different things and they have all not worked.

y'all have some nice desktops.

Do you tend to change them monthly? when mood strikes you? Any one use the scrolling desktop feature in Jag yet?

I am using the "Change the desktop picture once per minute" feature of jaguar. I don't know about the scrolling desktop feature. (i don't believe that it exists)

that's what I meant. :D Sorry for the confusion.

To me change=-scroll through. :D

YEa. i used it for about ten minutes one day, but it distracts the heck outta me editing photos.
 
here's mine...

I've never had my dock look like this before...usually all neatly sorted out into folders...he he he ;)

i'm not one for patriotism myself, but when i see folks from elsewhere supporting america it's kinda cool. mainly cause it's rare. and the fact that i barely support it and i'm american. ha
