Go to http://www.imageshack.us/ to upload your screenshot.

Make sure it is less than 1 mb!

Do not use the IMG tag, instead, post the thumbnail version (after uploading, copy the code in "Hotlink a clickable thumbnail on a forum or message board!"), or post the link to it to prevent frustration for those on dial-up speed connections!

Here is mine:

I don't know about anyone else, but I can't see any of the icons, it just looks blue.

I don't like icons on my desktop; they're ok in the quicklaunch though.

[Kye-U]

Elshaddai, is that your wallpaper? xD

Besafe, very nice wallpaper and setup

I should cut back on my desktop icons; 80% of my screen is full. I've just finished a video project, and am keeping the files in case my "client" wants some corrections... =)

Ok, here's mine.

Quick Launch, my fanny! I simply hid the desktop icons, turned on the Desktop Toolbar, and turned off the titles. For the active proggies, I used XTEQ's XSetupPro to set the name width to -285. The results: All you see is organized icons, and nothing to interfere with your viewing pleasure! [lol]

No wallpaper, either - It would just be covered up 99% of the time anyway, as I usually have 5 to 10 windows open (at the moment, I was assembling and editing some music files). I'm at 1152 x 864, 24-bit color, and small fonts, on a 19" monitor.

I have the desktop toolbar on also; I use it for a quick tree view of My Computer, My Docs, and My Net places. I also just see organised icons for my viewing pleasure even with the quicklaunch.

desktop toolbar?

ProxRocks Wrote:desktop toolbar?

You know in windows; right click beside "start">toolbars and check desktop.

When I click the links to any image, all I get is an error message saying that the image contains errors.

First, I suggest that you make sure your browser is capable of showing PNG images correctly - that's what most of these are.

Second, if that doesn't do it, then you almost certainly have a MIME type encoding problem. There's been a little discussion on that topic here at The Unofficial Proxomitron Forum, but over at Arne's, there's something like nearly a hundred posts on the topic. Seems to me that you outta be able to get something out of one of these places that will fix your problem. [lol]

Oddysey,

Firefox has no problem with .png images. I just viewed one to test it.
This is the message I get with your imege:

The image "http://img75.e.cx/my.php?loc=img75&image=Odd_desktop.png" cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

[Oddysey]

Siamesecat;

Try this one. I purposely saved it as a JPG, just for this test.

Strange that no one else here has said that they have a problem.

BTW, I just found a page in Proxo's very own help file on fixing MIME types. And I do recall that in earlier discussions, the error you reported was echoed almost exactly by others. They later found that the image was fine, usually by testing it on a different computer, or at least with a different browser.

Remember, as with all the other image file types, there are several levels of complexity. One image might be OK in a given installation, and another might not be OK. Just because the error message says the image is at fault doesn't make it so. [lol] Gotta urge you to check out your MIME type encoding.
