This is the first time I've posted my desktop, mainly because most of my desktop pictures have been stolen by from these threads and people don't need to see the same thing twice.

Anyway, it's a picture of church in Prague that I took almost exactly a year ago, give or take a week or two.

You like orange, huh? So do I. I had this desktop a few year ago.

 

[dotdotdot]

Mine.

The icons and desktop are by Hein Mevissen of MixthePix who is kind enough to have made them avaiable for personal use.

Where'd you get the LongHorn wallpaper set?

I know, boring Aqua, but I get distracted otherwise.

It is not that boring, I think it is a very good "standard" dekstop pic though

A bit of a throwback... Hope this works this time! (if it does, thanks very much to Mitthrawnuruodo)

You can upload the file as an attachment, provided it fits within the specs (size, file type, etc). Or upload to a web server and give the URL to it within the

Hope this works and that the original poster does not mind. Just had to change the image a little bit

How-to add your desktop

whoops... guess I don't know how to post a pic

Easiest way, not using any 3rd party software...

EDIT: This only works with the old Panther version of Preview. The new Preview in Tiger no longer has an export function where you can set a target size...

1) Take a snapshot of your desktop. I find it easier to just hit cmd-shift-3 (although some like to use Grab for this)

2) You now have a file on your Desktop, typically called Picture 1.pdf, open that in Preview (should be the default when double-clicked, but Acrobat/Acrobat Reader etc. may have messed with that)

3) In Preview choose File -> Export... (cmd-shift-E), you now get a dialog box, choose Format: JPEG, and hit the Options-button

4) You get a new dialog called JPEG Options, choose Best Depth, slide the Quality Slider to Best, check the Target size button and write 100000 (some prefer 102400), and press OK

5) Back in the Picture 1.pdf-save dialog you navigate to an apropiate place where you want your Desktop picture (in JPEG format) to be saved (cmd-D will take you directly to the Desktop in all save and open dialogs) and give it a name (if Picture 1.jpg isn't good enough)

6) You now have a JPEG of your Desktop under 100kb on your Desktop (or wherever), this can be attached to a MacRumors post, using the Manage Attachements-button under Additional Options, when you Reply to Topic (or Edit Post). Click that button.

7) You get a pop-up where you can Manage your Attachements, under File to Upload click the Browse-button, find and OK your Picture 1.jpg in the dialog box, and hit the Upload-button. A message will appear: "Uploading File(s) - Please Wait", and after some seconds (more if you're on dial-up) your file will appear under "Current Attachements". Now you can "Close this Window"

8) Finish your post and hit the Submit Reply-button and you have posted your Desktop.

Enjoy...

Maybe somebody should edit this into the first post in the thread to avoid further confusion.

Oh, Oh. That's might be treading into edesignuk's territory. I don't know how he feels about sharing his woman . . .
