May 2017 Desktop Screenshot of the Month

Let's see what your desktop looks like!

May 1, 2017 5:38:14 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

 

Well, today's Israel's Memorial Day...so, not a very happy. More like the way ours was supposed to be, I think. 

Hoping all that April rain brings some nice flowers to you all.

This month, Naked Noir wba (vStyler) and WSX (WebGizmos). Wall from one of MS's theme packs from which I extracted the walls.

If you want to do that, here's how: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-extract-wallpapers-from-windows-7-themepack

You can find the downloadable themes here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13768/desktop-themes-featured

If that's too much fuss, you can find ready to use MS Wallpapers here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17780/featured-wallpapers although, I personally also enjoy cruising the wallpaper sites like The Paper Wall.

Good news: InterFacelift is working again after (sorry for this)...a face lift.  https://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/downloads/date/any/

Actually, you shouldn't since you don't have the rights to distribute that wall, Uvah.

Hmmm....so how can I do it? I've had them for so long that I don't remember where I got them. Wasn't there a proggie that lets you ID a wallpaper.

1. You can go to google images and upload it to their search: https://images.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl

2. Or here: http://www.bing.com/?scope=images&nr=1&FORM=NOFORM

3. Or: https://tineye.com

After finding the original image, or a url which seems, at least to have a TOU which honors IP, supply that url to those who request the wall/image, etc.

Doc's mostly right....however just maybe you could find the original collection/CD/source from which you had the wall...and enclosed with that there may have been a TOU re distribution.

Otherwise....listen to Doc...

Thank you.   

Edit:

Went to TinEye and found it. This is the url in case anyone wants it. http://www.thewallpapers.org/photo/56097/computer-abstract-and-colorful-042.jpg

Is a link good enough?

Excellent concept, Tom.  The style isn't for everyone but................

Nowadays, computer users often start at a very young age and I feel there is a large segment of  the skinning market  being overlooked. There should be more skins made with "the little people" in mind. What a great way to introduce  the young'uns to skinning. A little whimsy can go a long way.
