angleigh Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Colby asked me the other day "when are you going to change that picture on your computer, you've had it for years" Yeah..guess that's the last thing I think about changing. So I went out looking for some today and just didn't find anything cute. Then this really awesome kit came across my inbox this week (it will be in the stores on Friday) and I took a little break and created a new desktop for my computer. You'll have to ignore the glare, but I think it's super cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angleigh Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 I started using 2 not that long ago and fell in LOVE with it. They make life so much easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Cute! And me too, Conda - I like the Apple wallpaper that came with my laptop. Sadly, I can't show it to you, there is so much on my desktop it would take forever to clear it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englishrose Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Love the comical characters on your screens Angie - how lovely to turn on your computer and have something to chuckle over. I stuck my favourite scrap page of my DGS onto a bg paper for my wallpaper. It's more than a year old - I really should make another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendaT Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Very cute desktop, Angie! I started using double monitors in the office where I work several years ago, and I loved them so much we got them at home. Sure speeds things up not having to go back and forth to look at programs on one screen, as you can have two (or more!) open on separate screens. I know of some people with 3 monitors! I try to change my desktop with the seasons and I usually find a high res photo I like on the internet. Right now I still have a "spring" photo on my laptop, a stock one that came with the computer. It's bright and happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angleigh Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 I usually use stock photos or a photo I took. But I loved this kit and thought it was so fun and cheery so I used it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsoarty Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 This is my laptop. Not the best photo, I think I need to change it. Had it four years as background. My iMac is different not sure but I think it's Mac stock or something, been a while since I turned it on. My iPad is my 4 grandbabies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have a slideshow of some of my lo on my laptop. Then windows 10 came along and changed files around. I couldn't tell you what's on there now. I'm on my tablet on my lunch break. I guess I need to add this to my project to do list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Christine Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I change mine now and then, this is the one I currently have on my desktop, I used BMU_Blue Collection paper blended in and over the sketch. This was a sketch I located on the internet of Statue of Liberty, I so love this statue and often think how it must have felt for so many seeing it for the very first time.

diannecp Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 totally dumb question here: how does one get to the "desktop" on a Mac?! is that the same as "Launchpad"? (yes I've had a Mac for 2+ yrs and still don't know this - well, I put files in my "Desktop" folders but I don't know how to get there like I do with Windows. Weird, huh?!

If you close every tab/page/application on your computer, then you will be left with the desktop. That said, EVERYTHING on your desktop will show. So for instance, I've got lots of screenshots sitting there, (because it's where they go when you take them) so if I close everything else, my desktop photo is covered by them! I did put some in a folder, but then got more so it's covered again. You can also go to "Finder" and click on your desktop folder to see what's in it. I hope I'm making sense!

diannecp Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Ah that makes sense. I'm too lazy to close everything on my desktop but it makes sense. I need to check and see if I can change some settings so things go into folders instead of the desktop maybe. Sigh, I had such high hopes for myself to be super organized and clutter free when I got this Mac and that just hasn't panned out. It feels overwhelming but I really should stop and deal with it soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels overwhelming but I really should stop and deal with it soon! I know what you mean, my home pc is organised, but I could easily fall into old habits. I have started to put items on my desktop at work more frequently which get duplicated but I still need to tidy these up. I work in Adobe Indesign a lot and all files have to be kept together because of the way artwork links when creating so many layers. I was looking at some of my old creations at home that I never finished and thought it could do with a tidy up but still haven't done anything about it,they just seem to be floating around in 2013, OnE DaY Perhaps we could have a thread in the forum to encourage all of us to check/backup/tidy our files.

Bride Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I haven't changed my desktop since last September. This is the one of the last photos of Lakota - her last Great Lake swim, Lake Ontario. I think she would have fetched that stick all day! I have been thinking of making a new one with the new club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ngaire Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Angie you are starting such interesting chats. Loving it!! Your desk top pics are really awesome. So cute and refreshing. Lots of the others are really lovely as well. I just use the stock ones because I like them as well. I like a very plain background because then I can find my folders. I found if I have a busy back ground I seem to not find my folders very easy. On my laptop I have a night sky and on the Big Mac I have only just changed it from the Lion to a grassy background.
