Taking Photos of your desktop!

Postby Velociraptorc77 » Thu Oct 28, 2010 9:04 pm

I just figured out how to take a snapshot of your desktop FREE. No download needed! I thought I would tell you theme makers (If you didnt already know) how to do this. Let me explain:

Ok. Look at your keyboard. To the right, there should be INSERT, HOME, PAGE UP, etc... Above those keys, you should see PRT SCR. Remember where that is. Now find the screen you want to take a snapshot of. When your there, press that key. Now it seems like nothing happened, but you just copied a picture of that screen. Next, open an image editing software like paint. Now paste what you have. It should paste the image you took.

If you have any problems, I dont know what to do. It works fine for me.
Hope you enjoy :)

I'm really glad that your trying to help out the community but, what you explained is a pretty known feature and I'm sure most of the members here know how to do it. This should help those who don't know about the feature though. :cool:

There is no need to laugh. As I said, If you didnt already know. There are people that did not know this. Trust me. I thought this would be great for people that are new and would like to make a theme.
