Well, here is my first desktop post. It's kind of plain, but I was just excited to be able to post a Mac desktop. Thanks to timdorr for hosting my pic :yes: . Here it is:

Wow, that's.....big.

[uiop]

yes ... yes it is ........

i still think we should limit the image sizes here like they do in the windows desktop threads. it's getting pretty rediculous how much you have to scroll to the side and how long you have to wait for this thread to load.

make a small image, say 640 pixels wide or so and link to the full size one. it'll make things a lot easier ;)

[Cara Veteran]

I personally think we need to enforce the normal rules here...

In the future guys, limit them to 1024x768 unless providing a link.

[Wickedkitten Veteran]

here we go:

If you plan to img-embed your desktop, please try to keep it at/under 1024x768 and under 60k (It's recommended that you link it, externally)

Stay within the board rules, no matter how yummy you may believe it to be

If you are going to quote, there isn't a need to quote an img-embeded picture - Just don't do it. Please just reference the post by page number/page link/etc.

In the interests of keeping the thread on topic it is strongly urged that you format your posts in the following order:

Theme: Name/where you got it(with link would be nice)

Wallpaper: Name/where you got it(with link would be nice)

Icons: Name/where you got it(with link would be nice)

Programs: Name/where you got it(with link would be nice)

If you have ever seen the screenshots bit over at resexcellence it would be nice to keep it along that style, ie:

Theme/scheme: SS Final Cut Theme by Kevin Husted

Visible programs: Safari, FileXaminer CM, PicturePop CM, PathFinder CM, NewOpen CM, ScriptsMenu CM, Fruit Menu, PTH Volume, MenuMeters, Script Menu, PTH Clock

Does anyone know how to change the image format X captures the screen in/ If so, I can re-post the image in a smaller file format.

[Steve]

Just take the shots, then go into Preview, and hit File / Export ... and there are many file type selections ;) ... Sort it ... 4.7mb for a desktop image is CRAZY! lol

Use Preview and click File->Export. You should choose .jpg format

[mrelusive978]

yeah, the reason i wanted to change the capture format though is because i have six monitors and i am lazy....

:woot:

[aaron901]

gah still to big, hehe. the forum is designed to display at 1024 so it is only logical that you would have to have an image smaller than that to make sure there is no horizontal scrolling. i still think 640 is the right size in terms of width. that's what mine are at. looks like 640 would barely fit using the image attachment system.

[aaron901]

arg come on, the rules said at max 1024 x 768, so mine is fine!:p

i couldn't find a decent image host, therefore i couldn't link it. sorry guys.

[sys32]

Can we start a new screenshots thread? This one is getting really long. The images in the beginning posts dont even show up.

the horizontal scrolling has nothing to do with how the board is designed, it has to do with what screen res you are running at. If you are running at 1024x768 and someone posts a picture the same size, then of course you will have to scroll over to see it because the rest of the board is there too. If you are like me though and run 1600x1200, then I never have to scroll horizontally. I may be stupid but I am pretty sure this is how it works. :whistle:
