How do you take a screen capture? I've been wanting to post my desktop here, but I don't know how to do a screen cap. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

open Grab, and select screen selection in the options menu....and BAM, you have a screen shot.

gallagb, what widgit is that? It looks like the weather one but my weather widgit never changes to the moon.Download the original image file (800kb)

it is just the weather widgit
the moon comes out @ night-
(do you use your computer @ nite?)
here's the desktop now- (as you can see the sun w/ light clouds)
i do have the opacity set @ 90% perhaps that is giving it some neat-ness? i donno


as for uploading your desktop
you can also use the prgm "grab" which comes w/ the computer
it works just dandy.

yes, I use my computer at night but I use the mini weather widgit so that might be the problem.

Thx Dr. Zauis

Okay, guys. Here's my desktop. I know it's the default, but atleast it's not my Win XP desktop I used to post before I got my mac.

edit: And no comments about the sticky :)

That's a cool desktop. Where'd you get it? Also, how do you get the amount of free space under the Hard Drive icon?

click on the hard drive
then "view" "show View Options" then "show item info"

:)
or cmd J

how do you put an image in your post where its not an attachment like king cobra, N10248, and edesignuk have?
do you use vB code and how do you set what size it displays at so I don't get a giant image that takes up the whole browser window.
