The planet actually spins throughout the day, and the clouds are realtime, generated from satellite photos. It's done using XPlanet, and NASA's "Blue Marble" high resolution graphics of the earth. [:D] |

OK, how do you do that? I can upload and host a picture, but how do I do my desktop w/icons?

Mine's kinda boring:

Mine changes every couple of days. I mainly use the built-ins that came with Windose XP, or nudes I was sent on AOL...
Scott P.S. Right now it is one called "Azul". A small island with three palm trees on it, and a small sailboat off to the left, both in BEAUTIFUL blue water... |

View Quote Next to the "Backspace" key on your keyboard, there should be a key marked "PrintScreen" or "PrntScrn", or some such. Hit it, and it takes a screenshot. Open your favorite imaging program, PhotoShop, or whatever, start a new picture, and paste it there. (File, Edit, Paste, or ctrl+V) |

Quoted: Fricken COOL! Thank you Kar98. Now I know how to do DVD images. View Quote That's different. If I try to take a screenshot off WinTV (TV and VCR) or PowerDVD (for DVD playback), I have to use the screenshot tool built into these programs, or I'll just end up with big black squares. Which DVD programs do you use? And by the way, I added you to my contact list in MS Messenger, still waiting to see you there... |

If I showed my desktop, I would be banned in a New York minute.
And not because I'm running Mac OS X either. [:P] |

hey zak, how do you get that xplanet program to actually put something up for the background. I downloaded it and got the blue marble .jpg's I'd like to try and get something working like you have because it is so cool [:D]
Thanks |

If anyone is interested in making their icon text background transparent (so the wallpaper show through) go here for a freeware download.

My ISP is JUST AOL for right now. Not sure how they handle pics and such. I am gettting PowerLink on 4/20. Maybe Adelphia will have something more useful than AOL's cookie-cutter webpages...
Scott P.S. I just changed my wallpaper to a B-52 dropping M117s... |
