Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine What's on your desktop?

These frequently pop up on my hubby's message boards, so I thought it might be fun here. This is mine:



It's one of the morning glories growing along my driveway.

If I'm not using one of a million Legion images, it is one of my digital space scenes I like to create. I'm never satisified and changed constantly. Here's one:

Here's another. Can you tell I was on a Trek kick?

Okay, how do you guys do those screen grabs?!

Actually, Seymour's running a Mac, so that won't help me any. Scott? I've got WinMe for my OS, if that makes any difference...

It depends on if you have a paint program POV. Most have the ability to do a screen cap. I use Paint Shop Pro and just set it up to screen capture and then collapse all my open programs.

The minimalist lineup here ... utilities in the first column (10 credits to whoever knows what character in literature serves as "My Computer"), Net programs in the second, and, o'course, a winged mother and daughter by Boris Vallejo ("Showing Her the Way").

IrfanView.com has a superb freeware graphics viewer and editor that does screen captures (including this one), but I believe it's still only available as yet for Windows users.

I've also used this lovely full-screen image recently -- a two-page spread (flopped) from CrossGen's "Sojourn" 14, featuring the winged denizens of Ankhara.

I currently have Lash's topless wet-hair pic as my background. Now that Ultra Matthew has some dreamy new pics up, its high time that I create that collage of SEXY LegionWorld Boys that I've been wanting to create. If you want to be included in my collage, send me a pic. And remember, YOU don't have to think you're SEXY cuz I think you're ALL sexy as hell. And I would love to have you all on my.... desktop.

But If you want to be in the collage, send me your pic quick because I'll probably be out of touch for a short while starting this weekend when I move to Phoenix. GOD -I am SOOO not ready for this. I've been packing and we went out this weekend and my official going away party is Friday... What am I getting myself into?

I run through various Legion related images on my work PC. Currently? The Legion World shot from this site, with the word "Home" in the corner.

Currently at home, I have a pic of my family centered on the page (Our boys like seeing themselves on T.V.).

Cool desktops! I'm glad I started this thread. More! More!

Can't wait to see that collage, Caleb!

Oh, and Jeeves is the butler character in the book series by P.G. Wodehouse. Andrew Lloyd Weber did a not-terribly-well-received-but-not-without-charm musical based on them.

i usually have the current cover of The Legion as my desktop, but at the moment it's the Legion World homepage picture !!!

Matthew.

Well, yesterday I had a picture of this cute little bodybuilder on my desktop, but I threw him aside in a heartbeat when I saw the first pic that Ultra Matty posted with his new camera. Of course, now I need to keep my keyboard covered with drool-proof plastic, but that's a small price to pay

Hmm, sounds like we need a poll:

For your desktop, do you have:

Ultra Matt
Something else else else

I think it would be close.

Eric

Got a new one now!



Mainframe, the people who did "Reboot" have a "Scary Godmother" Halloween special. No U.S. distribution yet, but the DVD is available from Amazon Canada . I can't wait to see it. I love these books.

Eric

Good luck with the move! We'll be here (your home away from home) when you get yourself situated.

Ok, so how do you do a screen cap with Windows? I know I've done it before and it somehow involves the "Print Screen" button, but I can't seem to do it ...

Thanks Drake. That was way sweet.

Do you have a paint program of any kind Drake? That's the only way I know of to do it in an Windows environment. If you don't have one you can go to Ifanview and download their freebie. Grey's a big supporter of the software and says it has a screen capture option.

This is the image on our main PC, the one Caroline uses:

I'm shameless.
On both my home and work PCs I've got Star Boy wallpaper I made myself.

I think I've posted it elsewhere on the site.
(But here's a mini-version.)



Still working on a Wildfire one, but due to excessive overtime, haven't had a chance to do much on it.
