The Share your Desktop Thread -

This is one of my favorite threads from other forums as I love to see the artwork or photographs that appeal to other people.
If you don't know how to do it, it's simple. Just push the print screen button when viewing your background then bring up your favorite paint program. All you have to do is just paste into it and you will see a photo of your desktop. Save it in a .jpg or .png format and then use the forum upload tool to upload it.
Here is mine.

Mine is blank. I hide my icons, and I have no wallpaper up, currently.
I actually didn't know you could hide icons . How do you do that?
If you have Windows you right click on your background and the first thing in the menu the pops up is "Arrange Icons By"; hover on that and the menu from the arrow drops down. Near the bottom of that menu there is an option to "Show Desktop Icons"; it's checked. All you have to do is click it and the check mark goes away and so do your icons.

Or you can use your snipping tool and cut off the icons.

This is a photo of a volcano I found on the net some time ago. I used to change my desktop once a week, then I started changing it once a season (4 times a year). Now, I change it once a year, if I think of it. As you can see, I like "God" games like The Sims, Civilization, Age of Mythology, etc.

For folks on a Mac, you can take a screen shot of your desktop by pressing Command/Shift/3.
It'll save a picture of your screen to your desktop, called "Screen Shot [date & time]"
You can also take a screen shot of a single window, by pressing Command/Shift/4 then hitting the space bar, then clicking on the open window you want to take a pic of.
And you can take a pic of any specific area on the screen by pressing Command/Shift/4, and then selecting the area you want a pic of with the crosshair tool that comes up.
