How do I add my desktop screenshot to my page?
To do this you will first need to submit your image to deviantART, using the submission category entitled "Desktop & Customization > Desktop Screenshots > Your OS". Where 'Your OS' is, you will need to select your Operating system. For example if you're using Windows XP, you will need to next select "Windows".
Once you have uploaded your image, your next step will be to go to your Edit Profile page, followed by clicking on the User Page Display tab, proceeded by choosing your desktop image from the "Desktop Screenshot" drop down menu.
** Notes: All desktop screenshots submitted to the Desktop & Customization > Desktop Screenshots section can be located under the 'Customization > Screenshots > Your OS' section, while browsing.
I'm not sure how to take a screenshot. Can you tell me how?
For Windows users:
To take a screenshot of your current desktop, you will need to press the 'PRT SCN' button on your keyboard, this will copy the desktop layout to your clipboard. Next you will need to open your image editing software, once it has loaded you will need to create a new image, followed by pasting your screen grab in to it and then saving it on your hard drive.
Windows Vista users can take a screen grab by using the Snippet tool located in the Start Menu.
For Mac OSX users:
There is several ways to take a screenshot of your desktop.
1.) cmd+shift+3 - Will take a screenshot of your whole desktop
2.) cmd+shift+4 - Will take a screenshot of the area you select only
Using the above options will automatically save the image to your desktop, to put the contents on your clipboard, hold down Control as well.
If none of the above options are feasible for you, you can also use the "Grab Application", located in your Utilities folder.
