Hey towny whats the key stroke to take pictures of the desktop in mac os x, ive forgot:blush:
option-shift-3 takes the whole screen, opt-shift-4 allows you to select an area (these are the same as os9) or, go applications, open the utilities folder, and start the Grab appliction, which gives you further options.

*resists urge to poke fun at complicated mac systems (tee-hee)
*know's it's silly to compare them to PC's anyway and doesn't want this to turn into a mac/pc battle cos they're both suited to their respective users :D

Must put my Windows 2003 desktop up somewhen

*resists urge to ask how you take a selective screenshot in Windows without using 3rd party software :D

Actually it's:
  • Command-Shift-3 = Grab entire screen to a file on the desktop
  • Command-Ctrl-Shift-3 = Grab entire screen to clipboard
  • Command-Shift-4 = Grab selection of screen to a file (cursor changes to crosshair)
  • Command-Ctrl-Shift-4 = Grab selection of screen to clipboard
  • Command-Shift-4 followed by space = Grab window to a file (cursor changes to a camera and highlights window/menu under cursor - click mouse on highlighted window/menu)
  • Command-Ctrl-Shift-4 followed by space = Grab window to clipboard

The Command key is the one with the Apple logo for those who don't know.

My desktop is just the windows xp 'blue hills' pic. I can look at sights like that all day, very soothing:)
I have no apps or files on it apart from the wastebasket in one corner.

I've had a couple of request for my Samurize configs for my desktop setup, so I thought I would post them here.

I can never remember which is 'command' and which is 'option'. As a matter of fact I normally think of them as 'alt' and 'apple', seeing as that's what's actually written on them ...

And I never knew there were so many more options!!
