The All New Desktop Thread, Images No Larger Than 800x600

nah not for me either which is why I said, although its fine now, you change it?

mrk · 11 Apr 2009 at 00:22

Yup thumbed up.
I think it's the ocuk black theme v1.3 that resizes the images to fit!

Marky · 11 Apr 2009 at 03:55

Yeah the black theme resizes all images - you can fix it so it doesnt resize - the fix is somewhere on the forum

A change after so long!

I am literally way too picky on desktop wallpapers, virtually only a handful of walls take my fancy

That's a nice one, any chance of a link for 1680x1050 please?

mrk is your MPC skinned or is it just a compact view?

mrk · 11 Apr 2009 at 10:15

I press "1" on the kb (not numpad) to go to compact mode when watching with the player on top whilst multitasking. Pressing CTRL+1,2,3,4,5 etc cycles various other things like progress bar and shizzle

Learn sommat new everyday!

Basically 1 in compact, 2 in semi compact and 3 is normal

CTRL+number in either mode cycles sub-views

ALT+1,2,3 cycles 50%, 100% and "auto" zooms.

linky - took me an age to find again, 36 pages of google images lol, I horizontally flipped mine so it didn't get in the way of the sidebar. that's the biggest res I could find (it's fine for me, I've only got a 17" 4:3 )

Thanks

For taskbar all you need is to install Windows 7.

Link to wallpaper:

So in windows7 you can get the taskbar across 2 monitors? :confused:

First off, nice wp :p

Second, I presume that's windows 7? if so why is the evaluation bit behind the taskbar?

Taskbar set to auto hide at a guess, but because the start menu is on screen, it's covering the slightly lowered text.

What he said

I don't know how to get rid of it!

Memphis · 11 Apr 2009 at 20:26

Just do a quick Google on something like "remove Windows 7 text". I did it on build 7000 and while I can't mind the exact steps, it wasn't difficult.
