Hey! You have M$ explorer mice,I have it too! ;)
 
how?

How do some of you guys have your dock in the lower/upper right and not centered? Also, is there any way to make your HD's disappear from the desktop (I just want them in my dock)?
 
Hey, why not?

I figure I might as well join in on the fun. I think this is neat.

What's interesting to me is to see how many people are running OS X and OS 9. It seems that OS 9 is still the OS of choice. I can't even use OS 9 anymore after using OS X. (Even though I have to use it at work every day...that's a different story).

Anyway, here are links to my pictures (warning: Desktop.jpg is at my native resolution of 1280x1024):

Oh, and for Biggles...To get the dock out of the center of the screen, I use TinkerTool 2. You can get it here:

There's all kinds of awesome stuff there. By the way, are you in any way affiliated to God's Monkey? If you are, you'll know what I'm talking about. If not, then just think I'm crazy for mentioning it. It's probably just a reference to the Spanish Inquisition anyway.
 
Thanks for the advice, but I was just hoping I could do it without using any other software (i find that if i keep my computer simple, it is basically a rock. I can almost keep windows from crashing with the way i run my stuff). Anywho, i have no idea what God's Monkey is....sorry. My name is just a shortened version of Mr. Bigglesworth that i thought of a long time ago :). Oh yeah, and I figured out how to keep my HD's off the screen so there's no need to answer that one.

Edit: sorry, i forgot to even put up pics of my desktop

God's Monkey...

Did a Sherlock search. Interesting...

holy SH** ensign, how'd you do that with your apple menu???

also, use command-shift-4 to select an area of the screen to take a picture of
and there's something with the caps lock key to take a picture directly into the clipboard instead of on your harddrive, but i forgot exactly what it was and it may only work in classic os's. (one or three cool features that win has never really implemented - to my knowledge).

here's my desktop with iTunes window expanded so yo can see some of my songs (led zeppelin should probably be on the top). i have my own playlist because iTunes is one of the 3 applications that the rest of my family uses.

i can't believe that i spent the last 2 hours looking at pictures of desktops of other people!
 
Macfreek:

I think i have three ways to fix you "tiff" problem. first off, if your using an iDisk, it obviously doesn't work with tiff's. So here's how to fix it:

1. throw the pic into Word. size it how you want it, then select "web page preview" in one of the menus. just pull the new pic to your desktop. it should then be a "jpg"

2. use graphic converter

3. im pretty positive that Preview will allow you to convert files (only on OSX)
 
it's probably just me being sad again, but i find it quite amusing that so many people already have photoshop 7, when it's not even been released yet :p Probably half the screen shots of osx had it in the dock.
 
...

just below where you type in the message, there's a button called 'browse'. You can use that to choose which file to attach.
 
hey six,

definitely use kaleidoscope. you can have semi-transperent dropdown menu's. It looks the closest to osx, i think. no window shadows or title bar transperency though.

listen to spuncan.
