Cool little desktop trick

[blacklabelfosho]

Written by me (was at work and really bored so i thought of this while making burgers)

 

alright set up your icons the way you want...

then push (shift + Print screen)

 

then open up paint and push (Ctrl + V)

you should get something that looks like this pop up.

after that pops up in paint.

save it as a .jpg.

 

then open it up in Photoshop... i used Cs2. (its the best )

 

go to filter gallery and select Photocopy filter effect... should look like this

depending on the original color you use. it will select that as the glow color... mine was blue

then you should get an img that looks like this

apply as your desktop background and you should get something that looks like this

this really only works if you want a basic color background... the photocopy effect messes up if you have a different color background

 

o well i liked it. + rep if you like as well

ive done thing like this but normaly just to screw around, not for a actual usable purpose. like taking a pic of the screen, then set it as bg , then removing all the icons from the desktop. lmao thats fun on someone elses comp.

this is pretty neat, i never tires this! Nice find!

 

Though i have tried the "paint the icons as a background and make icons invisible trick" freaked out so many people and coworkers with that trick. lol
