Neowin recommends a home grown program, Neoshooter for taking screenshots.

Here's a PM I sent to Radish, and got no response, so I'll post what I said here, and maybe you guys can follow along without it being a new rule:

I noticed that you normally start the desktop threads (with the exception of November). Could you maybe add a new rule that says you must post any relevant information about the screenshot? It doesn't have to be strictly enforced, but this would cut down on the hundred or so "where can I get this wall" "what's XX called" and "what program did you use" posts ..

It also saves people time when they are looking for that information, because they dont have to PM the person asking, who might not reply for a week or so, or create a new thread in the customization forum asking.. It's especially annoying when the person says "PM me for details." Many people don't check the thread for people asking them questions either. I really saw the need for this rule as this is the first time I've actually tried some customization further than changing the wallpaper (not that I'm new, just that theres so much to do ) and it was rather frustrating trying to find out what a certain weather script for Samurize was called or what a wallpaper was called.

Please give it some consideration.

Hmmm, contradiction.

I don't mind one of you guys making the thread, just let staff that are online know about it :)

The first post has been edited already by me.

Have fun! ;)

Radish?

well.. i also kept in mind that some people might explode in the thread if someone didnt post all relevent informatio;);)

btw nice desktops so far guys..Edit 1:b> illjerry, what weather script is that.. it probably uses desktopweatherxml as a base, but i cant find the actual skin/whatever

RoP can I get that wall?

Well, two things.

1. I don't know who made the little guy in the middle... so I cannot ask permission, I cannot share (as I stated in my post)

2. The wall is pretty much the same design (stripes) except for the middle... so you can cut it out :p

Glad you like it :)

    • Nice rant! Expletive after expletive after expletive. Poor petal, I've touched a nerve. Would you like a tissue to wipe those tears away. Btw, nice one calling Neowin trash. Why would you stick around when you disrespect this site and the people behind it? Just go away if you feel that way.
    • Internet Download Manager (IDM) 6.43 Build 1 by Razvan Serea Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a tool to increase download speeds by up to 8 times due to its smart dynamic file segmentation technology. Unlike other download managers and accelerators, Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during download process, and it reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve the best possible acceleration performance. Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages. All popular browsers are supported IDM integrates seamlessly into Google Chrome, FireFox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Maxthon and all other popular browsers to automatically handle your downloads. You can also drag and drop files, or use Internet Download Manager from command line. The program supports proxy servers, ftp and http protocols, firewalls, redirects, cookies, authorization, MP3 audio and video content processing. IDM includes web site spider and grabber IDM downloads all required files that are specified with filters from web sites, for example all pictures from a web site, or subsets of web sites, or complete web sites for offline browsing. It's possible to schedule multiple grabber projects to run them once at a specified time, stop them at a specified time, or run periodically to synchronize changes. Easy downloading with one click When you click on a download link in a browser, IDM will take over the download and accelerate it. You don't need to do anything special, just browse the Internet as you usually do. IDM will catch your downloads and accelerate them. IDM supports HTTP, FTP, HTTPS and MMS protocols. Changes in Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 1: Added the ability to download MP4 files from web sites where previously only TS videos were available. IDM displays both TS and MP4 file formats in its video download button. If you only need MP4 files, disable TS in IDM Options -> General tab -> Customize IDM Download panels in browsers -> Edit button. Remove TS extension on "Customize IDM Download panel in browsres" dialog Fixed video downloading problems on several popular web sites Fixed bugs Download: Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 1 | 11.9 MB (Shareware) Links: Internet Download Manager Website | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • This is of course "clickbait" WTF? It is literally your example but tech based. A "clickbait" title is a sensationalized headline designed to manipulate readers into clicking a link using things like "fear" rather than delivering objective facts. A "clickbait" headline also usually provides little value compared to the hype generated. How does this headline not qualify? It's a generic often reused headline that is overly sensationalized. Oh no! "millions" can't use this app anymore. It has no basic facts like what f*cking app. You read the article and it's the Samsung VPN which no one cares about and there is a million free VPNs. How are you defending this ######? Headlines like this (and among other things) make me read Neowin much less than I used to in the past. It's trash...
