(Besides insomniacs

)

I am up that early usually, even though not on the computer. I also have school, so none for me either untill 4 pm. And I am ALWAYS up to at least 1 am every night. And you can be 100% sure that if the computer wasn't in my parents' room, i'd be on gw as soon as that server popped up.

That countdown page will forever be imbedded into my brain for all the 2:45am EST mornings I spent staring at it, waiting for the BWE to begin

Kiwi · Mar 16, 2005, 04:53 AM // 04:53

Hmm... ya with Nova. How do you make a moving picture on desktop? Or even screen saver?

Nova · Mar 16, 2005, 04:54 AM // 04:54

yeah, tell us how to do it!

Kiwi · Mar 16, 2005, 05:13 AM // 05:13

copy the url
right click on the desktop
select the desktop tab
click customize desktop
select the web tab
select new
paste the url
hit ok
make sure that url is checked
hit ok
hit ok
a small window appears on the desktop
you can make this the whole desktop, but i recommend the choice where it only covers the desktop where there are no icons

plus the web screensaver app to use is web saver http://www.bluesubstance.com/p_websaver_demo.html

enjoy...

Kiwi · Mar 16, 2005, 11:41 PM // 23:41

Huh, I don't understand. How does it work?

ThePaper · Mar 17, 2005, 02:50 AM // 02:50

YAY! i got it on!

Ok if you need helo heres how:
1) select the adress of the site with the countdown
2) press ctrl+c to copy it
3) right click on the desktop, and select properties
4) go to desktop tab and hit the customize desktop button
5) go to the web tab and hit the new button
6) in the location text area press ctrl+v (make sure the blinking vertical line is there
7) Press OK, OKand apply
8) go to the top bar of the countdown timer and hit the fullscreen button (looks like a square with a heavy line on top)

There that should let anyone who sucks at computers do it.

Kiwi · Mar 17, 2005, 02:51 AM // 02:51

but it takes up room out of my beautiful desktop

Kramer55 · Mar 17, 2005, 03:23 AM // 03:23
