"Your backgrounds"

Well felt like doing a thread when we all show our backgrounds. Well heres my background right now. [URL]http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/4380/mybackground19ym.jpg[/URL] Well its of when I went to the Tate Britain yesterday and my friend Leigh took pictures on the way back. So he took a picture of a random bus. So now show your backgrounds.

Background? Majored in Physics, went to juvenile at 14... Oh, you mean my wallpaper. I definitely blame Microsoft. I'll give a snapshot of my Windows one in a sec.

Those with their windows XP bars silver and stuff...how do you get that?

Viva la wallpapervolution!

Yeah but Paint really craps up a Jpeg.

Anyway, here's my background. Sorry for using WindowBlinds as is visible by the taskbar! I do have Linux too, but my network card doesn't work with it yet, so I can't get on the web to post a screenshot from that.

EDIT: That's annoying how they scale it down. Oh well

No no no! Not Ms pants ... er ... Paint. Paint saves in bitmap format which is huge! never ever put a bitmap on the internet!

Any other graphics program than MS Paint (eg. L-View, Picture It!, Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, Fireworks, GIMP) so that you can save it in Jpeg format, then upload it to PhotoBucket.com

I'll post my desktop as soon as I've done all of the above, but the second I do and you notice that I'm using WindowBlinds *shudder* so that I can have the damn nice Keramik skin from KDE, you'll all laugh!

Mines of a spitfire in the middle of zooming past...
