command + shift + 3 will take a screen shot and save the image to your desktop.
command + shift + 4 will give you a crosshairs so that you can take pictures of a portion of you screen.

Apple-shift-3 will take a screenshot of everything you see, menu bar and all.

Apple-shift-4 will turn on "selection mode" (I'm sure there's probably an official name for it). Press Apple-shift-4 and the cursor will turn into crosshairs; click & drag an area you want for a picture, release, and that's it. Or, if you press the space bar before clicking & dragging, the cursor changes to a camera icon, and you'll be able to take a picture of whatever window that you highlight. If you change your mind, you can press space again to toggle back to the crosshair cursor.

Time for this month's desktop...this one was a shot I took from the 'roof' of my 'home away from home', looking across the bay to downtown San Diego.

Side note: the above photo (and a lot more like it) are available on my photocast (http://photocast.mac.com/specmode/iPhoto/specmode-photocast/index.rss) (figured I might as well use what I paid for).

Time for a more recent revision (I like this one a bit better, much nicer view):
http://homepage.mac.com/specmode/.Pictures/22Feb06_small.jpg (http://homepage.mac.com/specmode/.Pictures/22Feb06_full.jpg)

I'm thinking three ship desktops in a row is quite enough...next one will be a bit more colorful.

Semi-on-topic addendum: I just found out that if you try to browse a photocast album with one or more images not yet completely downloaded in the Desktop Backgrounds preference pane, System Preferences crashes. So, for those of you with iPhoto '06 who want to use a photocast as a source for desktop backgrounds (they show up as regular albums in the preference pane), beware! (umm...I'm probably the only one, aren't I? :o)

Artap99
2006-02-23, 01:00
Likely.

Ah, yes...well...I was playing around on Google and found that picture. At the time I was looking for a desktop background and thought it was amazing. I have no idea who made it or where I got it, but I've never seen anyone else with it.

The turtle is my favorite. He's just happy to be here.

Anybody else find it amusing that most Mac users seem to have very few items on their desktop? And that when you see a cluttered desktop your first thought is "They must be a recent switcher"? (No offence, sloth501, but you have an alias to Yahoo Messenger - you must be from the Windows world :) )

*Raises hand* Exception here.

I will stow all desktop items into a folder before taking a pic, but I think I have the most cluttered desktop award. The problem is, a cluttered desktop REALLY slows down OS X for some reason. The interface gets dreadfully lax.

I'd post a a screenshot, but I'm watching a DVD now. Maybe later...

My new desktop. I remember being a new switcher and having everything I ever downloaded sitting on my desktop. I think that Apple should include a Downloads folder in the Home folder and make it the default download location and put an "open downloads" link in the download window.

You can make one. Just create a Downloads folder anywhere you like and set Safari->Perferences "Save downloaded files to:" Other
The "Open downloads" link would be hard though.

Object dock is very handy... At one point I was doing the whole "OS X emulation" thing... Then we got a Mac, and I realized how insanely different is is, and gave up on the emulation. I haven't bothered changing some of the icons back. (They are, from left to right, My Computer, Gaim (2.0b2), PuTTY, Maguma Studio (A Wonderful PHP IDE), Calculator (Although, recently I've just been using Command Line Ruby[IRB]), Sandra, Object Dock Properties, Programs, Control Panel, and Recycle bin)

OpenOffice is wonderful... I just wish it had auto-recovery :/

Taking a screen shot really degrades the quailty. Just an observation.

Fahrenheit
2006-03-31, 05:40
no it doesn't really, but when you rotate the image it makes it appear pixelated because the edges are changing.

hiltond
2006-03-31, 05:45
no it doesn't really, but when you rotate the image it makes it appear pixelated because the edges are changing.

I had noticed the difference and then rotated the picture. If I open the screen grab (non-thumbscrewed) and compare it to my desktop, they are very different. Contrast seems most effected in this case.

I've noticed this previously. Orange hues tend to get very muddy.

You are very correct about pixelation.

BlueRabbit

You all can also make your own virtual cracked display very easily. Just grab the image from here (http://www.fontblog.de/C1413545161/E1863918477/index.html), making sure to grab the proper size for your LCD (scaling the image up or down kind of ruins the effect).

Open it on an unsuspecting friend's computer using Preview, throw it up full-screen, and wait for the look of horrified shock on his/her face... folks, this looks exactly like the real McCoy. :devil:

8.6, wow is right, I found 8.6 to be very unstable.Actually 8.6 in Blue Box is far more stable than 8.6 on it's own. In Blue Box all memory management is handled by Rhapsody and not by 8.6... which is why the About This Computer panel is displaying such odd results.

And because Blue Box doesn't attempt to run rootless like Classic (if Blue Box wasn't running, you'd see some more windows from OmniWeb on the second display), Blue Box actually runs pretty close to the full speed of the hardware (I benchmarked Blue Box on a page here (http://www.rhapsodyos.org/system/bluebox_bench/bluebox_bench_1.html)).

The set up has some benefits... but I actually don't spend all that much time in Blue Box when using Rhapsody (I have more than enough Yellow Box apps). It is mainly my old mathematics apps that I use in Blue Box.

While generally pleasing, this photo makes my eyes water. I can't figure out the focal plane. While the focus is clearly on the gate, the bushes on the left are also generally in focus. However, to the right everything is out of focus, including the grass which should be in the focal plane as judged by the focused bushes on the left. The only thing I can figure is some sort of blurring filter with a cropped image or post-process photoshop work. Very well done, just too unsettling to me.

Any ideas on the origin of the original source?

Google. The very first hit for "transparent dock" probably answers your question.

Joel604 : The tabs are from a program called Dragthing - it allows you to create various docks of different types - Ive just got it set to tabs and to pop-out when I mouse over it.

Its shareware though not freeware but worth it in my opinion.

The wallpaper is the same black and white pier in OS X, just in color. It can be found here (http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/details.php?id=354).

The icons are of the Nintendo Wii (there are different colors), they can be found here (http://interfacelift.com/icons-mac/details.php?id=1850).

the HD icon is from the icon factory: the clearblack mac set...will find a link for you...

the car is the volkswagen GX3 that VW said was going to be made and now might not (afraid of lawsuits)...if you want a fairly inexpensive 3 wheel car that goes fast and still gets 46 mpg, go bug VW.com and tell them to make this car and stop worring about lawsuits...hell people don't sue suzuki for making motorcycles that are dangerous, why would people sue VW for making a 3 wheeler that is probably slightly less dangerous? would love this as my work commuter car...of course i live in the southwest and could drive it year round...unlike you losers in the north ;)

Yeah, I'm a minimalist when it comes to the dock. At one point in time, I had no dock, but it wreaked havoc on my system (I use Quicksilver to launch apps).

The only items in the dock, with no apps open, is Finder and Trash.
