    You'll probably want to reduce the visible size to 800x600 aswell, between the 2 you'll git under 100 Kb fairly easy. In IrfanView just hold Ctrl and hit R to bring up the resize window.

    I just use paint, use print screen, paste, under image stretch/skew to about 75% and voila.

    I know I'm a dirty lurker that doesn't post too often, and I deeply apologize for that. I, uhhh, figure I'll offer this as a token of appreciation? No? not buying it? Yes, I know, I'm an insomniac who has an unhealthy addiction to DOSbox. But I love it :) :( zomdesk.jpg

    Well, here's my latest desktop if someone's interested... Not a whole lot there, some new games (C&C 3 being the only current-gen game that I do play, if you don't count FIFA Manager 07 which actually reuses its not-so-new engine over and over again almost every year), a lot of old games (Pinball Fantasies - an old Pinball game from 1994 or so, played via DosBox today; Grim Fandango - an awesome and really funny LucasArts quest; Die By The Sword; and also Visual Pinball and Future Pinball engines - yup, I do love PC Pinball :)). The strangely-sounding "Co8TDD CD Database" is just a small database of the ToEE dev stuff that I have on various CDs and DVDs, Co8TDD = Circle of Eight Toolset Development Department (that's how I call my team of devs who helped me along with the ToEEWB and other programs). Not much else, really. Everything else I have is in my Start menu, so unless we make a new "Post your start menu!" thread, you're not gonna see it... ;) (and even if you do see it, you'll figure out that there's not a whole lot of interesting stuff there compared to the desktop).

    Speaking of the picture on the desktop - I made it myself, with the help of my friends - the picture of Gadget (from Chip'n'Dale Rescue Rangers) on the right is rendered by yours truly from a 3D model made by a friend of mine, and the wallpaper itself (background and 2d art in the left) was made by another friend of mine from another community. (yup, I'm a Chip'n'Dale Rescue Rangers fan, so sue me for that if you want :p)

    - Agetian

    Maybe the first without ToEE somehwere on the desktop...never fear it is just one click away on my Taskbar icons list or whatever you call it.

    I like my Taskbar at the top...so sue me.

    I just realized that it isn't very Madcat-ish...so sue me again.

    well maybe - cats and large expanses of water don't usually go together.

    btw is your name inspired by "Maddog Williams"?

    No. It's just an Action Quake handle I used many moons ago. My roomies and I had our computers networked at the townhouse and we would all play on the same team and give ourselves handles that kind-of matched.

    So, for that instance it was: Paco Loco, Dr. Strangelove, Crazy Cabeza, and Madcat Willie.

    I can't remember where I got the 'Willie' from, but I kept with it.

    Who is Maddog Williams? :shy:
