computer wallpaper question

you could put them side by side and then take a screen shot of it...

Now, that is a neat idea.

well jiminity cricket, I'll just try that!

wait, what about the icons on the desktop? won't a screenshot hide that?

hmmm...let me see...

all you'd have to do is crop out the icons...

ok, being dense....

I took a screenshot of something, but when you go to your desktop and right click, you can't just paste it....

Wait, you save the screenshot as a jpg, don't you....then put it on your desktop.

damn you're smart RP.

Widows 95 had a suite of graphics called I think something like "endangered species". The wallpaper was a mountain lion looking ready to pounce, the cursor was a little bee with fluttering wings, and the opening screen sounds were jungle noises with drums, instead of that swoopy Microsoft swoosh fanfare. I loved it, but it seems to have perished with Windows 95. Anyone know if it still exists somewhere online for download?

You should have some form of a graphic editor and you could used one to bring in both jpgs and merge them together.

don't remember if it was millenium or 2000, (think it was 200o). one of the later systems had that as a "theme"...

(i got annoyed with it.)

That worked like a charm.

I just tossed up a working model of it, I'll refine it tomorrow.

Thanks!!!

yeah, the jungle noise would get old fast

At one time I set my pointer as a hypodermic needle. That was fun for a bit.

Update
This worked out much better than I'd hoped.

Now, I have a quick reference of all phone numbers/spd dials of commenly called numbers, information on FAQ's, etc. but I have several images surrounding it that mean something to me.

In case anyone else wants to do this...

I put all the info I wanted displayed into an excel spreadsheet.
I formated it with the desired cell colors, sizes fonts, etc. I made sure I saved the excel file for when I have to make changes down the line.
Then I did a screen shot, and pasted the image onto a PowerPoint slide, cropping out the edges of the screenshot.
I drug that image to the desired size and location on the slide.
Then the fun part, pasting sizing and cropping whatever images I wanted around it.
When finished, I made sure I saved the PowerPoint for when I have to make changes later on.

Then, I saved the whole thing as a jpg, then when into my control panel, and chose that file as my desktop.

If I have to change numbers/names in the future, all I have to do is change the info in the excel file, take another screen shot of it, and paste it into the PowerPoint file.
Then, I can just delete the original image of the list, replacing it with the new one, cropping and sizing it into the same place.

Then just save that new powerpoint as a jpeg, and use it as my new desktop.

easy japanesy.
