    Wikipedia tells me that you can use…
    Command-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it as a file on the desktop
    Command-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it as a file on the desktop
    Command-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it as a file on the desktop
    Command-Control-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it to the clipboard
    Command-Control-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it to the clipboard
    Command-Control-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it to the clipboard
    …to take screenshots :)

    I've got a question about ObjectDock that I'm hoping someone can help me with, I want to keep using ObjectDock instead of those other free ones because there is a docklett that lets me turn the task bar on/off with just a simple click. Whereas in RocketDock and RK_Launcher the docklett doesn't work and you have to do a buncha stuff in the settings to see the taskbar.

    But on to the question, everytime I use ObjectDock to bring focus to on of the applications that is running the window will pop to the front, but then as I move my cursor off of ObjectDock it will take the focus back off of the program and the program I just brought to the front will get hidden behind everything else.

    Needless to say this is really fucking annoying, sometimes it will work correctly, but most times it hides the programs and I don't want to have to minimize my web browser just to change my iTunes playlist. If I try multiple times it will sometimes work correctly, but is there anyway to get it to work correctly?

    Edit: Nevermind, the docklet DOES work in Rocketdock, I'm just retarded. Switching away from ObjectDock now...

    It's a part of one of the Rozen Maiden drama cd's. The voice actor for Laplace's Demon (the show hasn't really gotten around to explaining who or what he is) and Detective Kun-kun (Detective Kun-kun is a mystery show the characters watch) is the same person, this track is poking fun at that fact (which is why they compliment eachothers voices).

    I have it somewhere, I can try uploading it somewhere if you want to listen to it.

    My Linux desktop:

    screenshotju3.png

    I removed the icons from the menus, so that the Ubuntu logo next to the Applications menu isn't there. Makes it neater.

    Background is from that anime about those two guys who build a plane to drop a bomb into that huge tower. "Dreams of our memories taken from the better days of our youthful lives of love, with clouds" ... or something vaguely similar.

    I've also got a dock-style auto hide panel down there are the bottom with shortcuts to Firefox and irssi and such.

    I would do that, if it weren't for the fact that it removes all icons from pretty much all menus as well. The icons are a nice visual clue to help me find shit quickly.

    Just thought I'd let you all know that starting today you can get RSS feeds from all gallery categories on the PA Wallpaper Dump. The feeds includes the thumbnails linking directly to the last 25 images, so you don't even have to visit the site itself to keep youself up to date. This should hopefully make it easier keeping up with the latest goodies being posted there :)

    Here are the direct link to the "all categories" feed in case you don't want to go find it yourself:

    RSS feed of the last 25 images from all categories

    If you just want feeds from the individual categories, your can find them on the site.

    Kind of off topic, but relating to Desktop look/synergy with foobar:

    I was given a large archive of music recently, and it is a complete mess. I have foobar finally setup the way I want it, but alot of this new music dosent have albulm art, or is in wacky folder schemes for no reason. Is there a way to do a mass (I mean dozens of gigs) cleanup/renaming/refoldering/albulm art gathering? The googles lead me in some directions that were horrible and did not work.

    Okay I keep looking for it, and I think you have mentioned it before, but I can't find it. What is the dock you are using? I am using rocketdock right now but it is not nearly as pretty as that. So much want.
