Sorry, off topic.

The image is the same as my last except its using the background that icloud posted and has a picture of the phone I'd do anything for, the Motorola V710.
I have the V710. Nice phone, despite its crippled bluetooth implementation.

If you get it, invest in the USB cable and a TransFlash chip.

So what did you have to do? :rolleyes:

WELL I was ready to beg but the Verizon store guy was such a good salesman, he made my mom upgrade her plan to over $100 a month versus her $60 month plan now, so he just said that that was an awesome phone and some stuff about it and before I knew it, it was activated with my new number
 
How do I resize a picture in Windows?

Here you go, direct link to the "Iris" desktop (1600x1024) :cool:

I'd like that as my background, but I'm running 1600x1200, and I hate asking people to resize pictures for me all the time.

Thanks

Go into like Photoshop and make the file BIGGER because its 1600x1024 and you need x1200, SO adjust the height (the x1024) to be 0000x1200. The 1600 will increase automatically.

Then, Crop the image at a 1600x1200.

Save and your done!

Another thing you might try considering is simply using the windows stretch feature.
Assuming you are using XP
set the image as your desktop
right click on the desktop and choose properties
Choose the desktop tab
Choose the position drop down
Choose stretch..

Since the aspect ratio is a little off it stretches the image height wise but it still looks OK. My ratio is normally set at 1024 X 768 and I use this feature to shrink the images down.. Really rather useful.

BTW if you are windows guru and know all of this stuff I mean no offense.

If you don't have PS or another program where you can easily resize things, just feel free to ask. There are enough kind people on here who could take/find the time to make it larger for you. I'll gladly do it for you if it makes things easier on your end ;)

Is it just me or does that image have a lot more blue in it than the others floating around? Who modded which? Is it the colored eye with grey *rays* or colored eye with blue *rays*?

Doesn't matter one lick, just curious ;)

Ok. I HAVE PS CS, but I don't know how to use it. My sister does, sort of, but she's in europe and won't be back for a few weeks. If there is any way you could tell me how to simply stretch and crop, I'd be on my way.

I tried this, but it just looks too wierd. I have it set to stretch everything, and on most things it's fine, but since this is widescreen, it just looks too odd.

Sure, if you WANT to, go right ahead. I just don't like asking people to do this, over and over and over. If you don't mind, then sure, but if you feel like you 'have' to...then don't do it. I'll figure it out when I get the time. Thanks though
 
It isn't a problem by any means. It is still a good arrow to have in your quiver so I would urge you to learn it anyway, but it isn't a problem to whip it out quick.

Full size at ImageShack, just click the link: ;)
 
Here's mine for now. It's from a trip to a living horse museum (although that's no live horse ;) ) in France a couple of months ago.

(I hope it doesn't go in the "Worst Desktop Wallpaper" thread because it's "tiled" :eek: )
