Casey, all you need is a program that will take screenshots. Then from there just save it and host it like any other picture.

[Ervserver]

Hit the print scrn button on your keyboard, then open up PAINT and hit edit , paste. An image of your desktop will then show.

an animated snow desktop? I'd be interested in this

[dominick]

I've been rotating for a month now between Christmas desktops. Here are a few I've used that show just how bored I am on occasion.

I haven't done anything yet. I have to look to see what I'm going to do.
Right now I have rotating pictures of family, friends, places and things from my life.

ohhh I really like this one

[dominick]

Thanks. I'm rather partial to that as a desktop because it's not jumping out with bright colors. If you want, I could send you the full size of that one.

[Ervserver]

That would be great, thank you

You can download this from MMC

[Ervserver]

oh okay

[marekkane]

I don't usually go all out this early, but when I do, this is what my desktop looks like, blinking lights and all. (http://www.missingcomma.com/Christmas/desktopxmas.gif) :)

[elfworks]

HELLO FELLOW MAC USER!!!!!!!!!!


XO

[Ervserver]

nice desktop marekkane

[marekkane]

Thanks, Ervserver. :)

And hello Elfworks! Great to find another Mac user here, we're sometimes few and far between. Oh, and if you'd like the lights I've got, just let me know. It's a free program, but the download page is defunct and I seem to be the only one left with the installer hosted.

[joyful]

Not yet, I still have my Thanksgiving Desktop. It will remain for a few more weeks.

:wiggy:

[Ervserver]

I want to hook up 3 monitors so I can have a fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving desktop at once. Then put Christmas on all three but different scenes

[Mat Laz]

Lovely desktops, I have a delightful Simpsons Christmas Wallpaper which I love and also this cute Phantim3 Countdown - that is counting down the days to Christmas. I will take a screenshot and load it up soon!

God Bless,

Matt

[Ervserver]

Will change my desktop several times as we get closer to Christmas

[Christy Carol]

I want to hook up 3 monitors so I can have a fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving desktop at once. Then put Christmas on all three but different scenes

I have 5 computers at work but only one monitor but I can put a different desktop on each so when I click over on the KVM I can see a different scene.

[sheepsnot]

At work I am using this pic from Port Deposit, Maryland:

[Christy Carol]

Oh wow! That is gorgeous!

[sheepsnot]

The pic is dated 1978, so it might have been during one of the big blizzards. Looks like a perfect little town to live in.

[Ervserver]

I think I'll steal it from you and add some lights, maybe make them street lamps have a warm glow

[dominick]

There are some cool ones for the Polar Express if you just put that into Google Image. I'm using this one right now:

[abreckenridge]

[Ervserver]

Kathryn :wiggy:

[Ervserver]

[Christy Carol]

[sheepsnot]

I now have a new desktop, the tiled Santa from above. (I don't mean heaven, but the post above.)

[Ervserver]

I want an animated snow falling desktop

[marekkane]

Animated snow desktops:

Mac

Snow Desktop 1.1 (http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Network-Admin/Snow-Desktop-Animation.shtml) (pay).
Lotsa Snow- Screensaver (http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Screensavers/LotsaSnow.shtml) (free).
SnowSaver - screensaver (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10135) - this one is my favourite. It's modeled after the avi snowflake movie the Mac stores use in the display windows (free).


PC
