Beautiful photo, walzuhair, did you shoot that shot yourself? Is that anywhere near your home?<br><br>Hey OSXAddict, where did you get that PBG4 icon for your HD?<br><br>

Found it!<br><br><br><br>

Thanks Trog.. Yes, I took this shot at dawn today (Kuwait local time - GMT+3). Today is our last day vacationing in Kuwait and we'll head back to Riyadh tomorrow morning.<br><br>The picture is for a mall with a marina called "Soog Sharg".<br><br>

Here's mine. What did you expect? <br><br>BTW, the theme is Quicksilver R, a remake of Iridium Quicksilver that works with Jaguar. Find it here:<br><br> http://www.resexcellence.com/themes<br><br>I like it. Trashed BBX Mercury X theme, got tired of it very quickly. Brushed theme and this theme is all I have right now, plus of course Aqua, which I never use. <br><br>Oh yeah, that is just a high res desktop pic I found at http://www.dieselstation.com, not my Boxster. Mine is Arctic Silver. Some nice shots there BTW of the new (when is it coming I wonder?) Mazda RX 8, sample below.

Nice shot Waleed. Your camera just blows me away, it takes such excellent shots, plus of course, you are very skilled at composition.<br><br>

Towers, towers, all around me...<br><br><br><br>

Here's mine, scaled down:<br><br><br>

Another great shot by Waleed! Wow, I really love that one. If only you had cable so we could downloadsome of your pictures. The lighting is fabulous on that shot. Obviously someone who knows the best light is around dawn or dusk. Very nice! I am guessing you took that shot in the morning today?<br><br><P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by mikeb_X on 12/07/02 09:24 AM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>

Thanks.. Yes, took the shot around 5:45AM today with a long exposure.. The Nikon Coolpix 5700 makes me sometimes cry on the shots I've wasted using my other cameras.. Not to mention having all the power of Nikon on digital media makes you examine and alter the composition on the spot.. I keep around 20% of the shots I take.. I'm really happy with it.<br><br>

Dewd, you have such great stuff! You really ought to be shopping it around to ad agencies or stock photo houses.<br><br>

I agree steve! Waleed's photos are awesome.<br><br>

International export has no restrictions and no taxes.. But the major issue here is photography; it requires a lot of approvals from many government entities. That’s why I still have not taken any pictures of Riyadh (other than that tower), I almost had my camera confiscated once and I’ve been very discrete since then.<br><br>It’s very sad... BRB..

Nice pictures Waleed! <br><br>

well, after Waleed posts his desktop photo the competition for the nicest desktop is long gone.<br><br>this was taken at sunset as i was squeezing every bit of light out of the day to teach my little daughter the finer points of fishing in northern minnesota.<br><br><br><br>[color:blue] -sean</font color=blue>

That's such a cool shot of you and your daughter...who baited the hook? Looks like you docked your dock.<br><br>"The day people stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them." Colin Powell

You know what they say about Minnesota, "Land of 10,000 lakes and 10,000,000 mosquitos!" <br><br>

heh...the first fish we caught, she was holding the pole and she reeled it in and immediately reached out and held the fish. that's when i thought about having her stick the leeches on the hook (i don't particularly like that sort of thing, and she couldn't care less). <br><br>[color:blue] -sean</font color=blue>

That is one heck of a young lady you have there...<br><br>"The day people stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them." Colin Powell

You should try and adjust that image with Photoshop, Sean. It is a cute shot, but it needs fixing.<br><br>I'd try the Auto Levels first, I bet it would help it a lot. I just did that for a forum member at one of the Boxster forums I visit. His photo was all washed out, Auto Levels did wonders for it. You have Photoshop I hope, or at least Photoshop Elements? Graphic Converter could help too if you don't have either of the above.<br><br>

Here's another desktop shot, this time with our Boxster down at the harbor on the first day we had the car.<br><br><br><br>

i did play with it in photoshop. it was originally crystal clear and the waves were annoying as they reflected the sun too brightly. the sun was also way too bright and i had to select it and turn down the brightness -- i like dark and dull for the desktop -- less distracting for me. i spent a lot of time on it. it does look much better on my 22" screen the the 30% jpg image i saved for the web.<br><br>cheers!<br><br>[color:blue] -sean</font color=blue>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>i spent a lot of time on it. it does look much better on my 22" screen the the 30% jpg image i saved for the web.<br><p><hr></blockquote><p>Boy I sure hope so, that image would be unusable for me if it looked anything like it does here. <br><br>

for the record, we probably have very different tastes. i like to have a good contrast between the background and the items on my desktop. the second photo you posted has too much light and dark areas all mingled together, which would confuse me as items on my desktop grew more numerous. i clean my desktop once a month and tend to have up to 4 - 5 columns of items towards the end of the month. i couldn't stand to try and read the item names in white when they overlap onto a white background. that's why i prefer a darker background. the 8" x 12" i ordered of my photo look vibrant and full of life, but would be a horrible desktop image for me.<br><br>[color:blue] -sean</font color=blue>

Here is my favorite holiday desktop from last year, but this year I actually have OSX. Lori, how do you do the tabbed folders at the top of yours? I can't find a preference setting anywhere. Is it a special program?<br><br><br><br><br>

That is an application called DragThing. I have been using it for at least 3 or 4 years. <br><br>

Thanks, I'll check it out.<br><br><br>

I have to get that desk top...oh please oh please tell me where I can find it, and no I'am not begging, but if I must........<br><br>"The day people stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them." Colin Powell

Whatever works for you Sean. For me it has to be a high quality desktop picture. I also don't like clutter on the desktop, so I put everthing into folders. I couldn't imagine 4-5 columns of files on the desktop. To each his own I guess. <br><br>

Merry X-Mas!<br><br><br>

I was going to ask my honey to get me the camera that you use( for christmas) until I went to the Apple website and saw the price.....boooooooooohoooooooo<br><br>

The Nikon Coolpix 5700 - $1,199.00 <br><br>Ouch! That's a little too much for me! <br><br> (by about $1,000) <br><br>

Hehe... I sold my older Sony DSC-P1 camera and boooooooooohooooooooed for a couple of months before I bought mine <br><br>May I recommend the new Canon S45 instead, it's a 4MP camera with lots of bells and whistles. It has a feature called “stitching” and it’s used for panoramic pictures. You set the camera on a tripod, take snapshot, then your turn the camera right/left/up/down and stitch another shot to it.. I think you can stitch 4 shots into one.. Just think of the fun you can have.. You can take a picture of your entire room panning 360 degrees <br><br>If it’s still expensive and a 3MP camera is ok with you, then go for the Canon S30. It has the same features but with lower resolution.. They are both great cameras.<br><br>

$1,199 is retail price greenme1.. I shopped around and got it for $1,040. <br>It's still expensive, but I think it's worth every penny.<br><br>

That's a bit better, now it is only $800 out of my price range! <br> If i were to get a nice camera it would be the Canon S45 you mentioned earlier.<br><br>

I have the Canon PowerShot S30 you mention there, Waleed and I love it! Still a lot more to learn about it.<br><br>Personally, the 3MegaPixel is probably good enough for most folks.<br><br><br><br>[color:blue]This poster is too lame to come up with his own sig...so he stole another one</font color=blue><br><br>

Must have that shot of the dunes Waleed! Can you eMail it to me please? 1024X768 if you could. I appreciate the other ones you sent me, they are great. <br><br>bliemel@mac.com<br><br>TIA<br><br>

Yes, I agree..I want those dunes too! 1280x854<br><br><br><br>[color:blue]This poster is too lame to come up with his own sig...so he stole another one</font color=blue><br><br>

Me too.<br>1024 x768 stretched<br>(cinema display)<br>I wanna be a DUNE DUDE too. <br><br>

There ya go, Waleed — iDunes! Just sell your inages to Apple to use as DT pics.<br><br>

I think that is the one I want. Now I know I can count on you if I have any problems...haha Is that ok with you?<br><br>

The complete photo is this:<br><br><br>I cropped a part for the signature.. Do you still want it?<br><br>

LOL.. iDunes Yeah, of all the people in the world and those pros, let's get some armature shots from a bozo in Arabia <br><br>But that's a good idea Steve.. Theme photography to start on building a marketable collection.. Thanks <br><br><br>

Are you talking about the camera or me? just kidding...<br><br>Sure! I love this camera!<br><br><br>[color:red]Don't make me open this on you!</font color=red><br>

Doh! I have that pic already..it's on my desktop now! Great shot....you should show your stuff around.<br><br><br>[color:red]Don't make me open this on you!</font color=red><br>

Oh yeah, I knew I saw those dunes before. In that case no, I don't want it. So, you must go and take a new iDunes picture for us all with better composition! Which reminds me I have to get out to the desert here sometime and shot some dunes, we have some pretty big ones in the desert east of San Diego. Of course, it ain't Saudi Arabia.<br><br>

Why is it showing me as idle when I had set it to "Away - At Work"??<br><br><br>[color:red]Don't make me open this on you!</font color=red><br>

It always displays someone as Idle even if they are away, and it won't show you away message! I hate that, is there any way to fix it?<br><br>

It will show you the away message, but only if you move your mouse over the persons name (at least I think it will)<br><br><br>Visit me here!

Nope, it doesn't work for me.<br><br>

On mine I see the away messages..like yours was Smoking Ganja or something like that (now it's blank, but you are still in the away mode..)<br><br><br>[color:red]Don't make me open this on you!</font color=red><br>

What the hell for??? They aren't there, so does it really matter why?<br><br>Honestly, iChat was meant to be an "intro" to Chat from Apple... anyone needing all the bells & whistles would be wise to not wait for Apple to put them in iChat, cause it aint gonna happen for a long time.

Yeah, i can live with it. <br><br>

So does Layne have some new holiday stuff over at Blue Sky Heart? I love those desktops. Writing to Santa?<br><br><br>

Seems BSH doesn't update very often, so I took one of his old Christmas ones and resized it with my own background. The eSanta app I downloaded to test... I'm going to take it over my parents house so my nephew can send Santa an e-mail and get his response! <br><br><br>Visit me here!

No he doesn't. Your modification looks great. I saw that eSanta for download on Macupdate I think. I was hoping you had it for your nephew. We just printed our annual "Letters to Santa" tab and every year there are some good ones.<br><br><br>

I find iChat to be a lot better than Fire or AIM itself. Ease of use (drag and drop files) and all that makes it the best one out there. And I have used AIM for a long time. There isn't anything (other than that little idle bug) that the others do that iChat doesn't. Heck, I don't think Fire.app supports file-transfer. And I know AIM doesn't have voice on OSX. (not saying iChat does either, just wondering why you would say that those are better)<br><br><br>[color:red]Don't make me open this on you!</font color=red><br>

Are you serious??? AIM has voice, video, file-transfer, multiple away messages, stock ticker, news ticker, e-mail check and a host of other features...<br><br>While I think AIM has more to offer, that doesn't mean I like it. I never liked those "combo" apps that do more than one thing... I have an e-mail program, I have a web browser for news & stocks, so I don't need all that crap. Voice & Video would be nice in iChat, but it's probably a novelty I would grow tired of quickly.<br><br><br>Visit me here!

iChat also doesn't support animated Gif's. <br><br><br>[color:red]New sig. courtesy of iRock.</font color=red>

I found that out...hahaha<br><br>

MacGizmo, are you saying that the newest AIM for OSX supports voice and video?? Since when?? I know the OS9 version had voice, but no video. <br><br><br>[color:red]Don't make me open this on you!</font color=red><br>

ah dude this sux. so, all this time i have been telling my students that i am not here, they could know that i am using my computer if the away message is displayed? the only time i am *really* away is when it says idle? i've probably been caught in about 3,568 lies and i am just now realizing it. stupid design even for a 1.0 version.<br><br>away should mean away. idle should only work when you are available. this seems like very basic functionality. <br><br>i might as well change my away message to, "i am really here and want to see if some people i like are available to chat, but i am trying to avoid you because i would rather waste my time on the macintosh forums. cheers!"<br><br>[color:blue] -sean</font color=blue>
