To post a screenshot on this forum...​

1. Take the screenshot, edit it as desired, save to your desktop as .png or .jpg (max. size = 2MB)
2. Left click in your post, where you want to place the screenshot.
3. Click the Attach Files button at lower left, browse to your pic and click Insert.
4. After clicking Insert, I usually choose the Thumbnail (smaller) option, or the Full Image (larger) option.

You can just find a desktop photo you like (maybe from a theme or elsewhere) and set all the colours for taskbar, windows etc yourself. Or choose a theme you like for the taskbar/menu colours and transparencies and then just set a different desktop photo.

Many moons ago, I built a small bubble fountain in a plastic box and put it on my night table. The sound of bubbles does not put pressure on the bladder and is very soothing (y)

Next time, tell Copilot to create it in the proper resolution! :cool:
Or stretch it to 16:9 or whatever aspect ratio your monitor is, the stretch provides serenity (y)

@organapimongkol You can also use your own photos, like family, pets, etc. and even use them for a running desktop slideshow (y)

Although, I have to say that the W11 bloom is timeless, really a work of genius (y)(y)(y)
