    Lovely pictures...... It's a shame our my company's IT People have disenabled the setting of wallpaper backgrounds. We have to have the corporate wallpaper :cry: ......... Small things like that are what really bug me... It's not necessary... What's wrong with a beautiful picture as wallpaper ?

    Open the file in Paint, then click "File" then "Set as wallpaper: Centred". This almost always gets around it :wink:

    These images are outstanding - well done to the photographer/s!

    I don't want to jump the gun here but:

    How about a calendar? We could have these seasonal images (1 a month) and each month would also have a list of foods/trees/etc, coming into season or things to look out for in that month.

    That's off the top of my head and I haven't thought about any of the difficulties involved at all. Is it something that might be possible???

    It is something that's possible but it's probably not going to happen for this Jan :?: There are many things to take into consideration, the biggest of all would be financial, covering the cost of printing one (it would have to be done well to do the pictures credit) It's something that I'll look into (well, my wife will tomorrow, I've just talked to her about it!) Sourcing good pictures shouldn't be a problem, I took some of the ones for the wallpaper and MD sorted the rest...

    I'll keep you all posted on this and the diary idea :biggthump

    Most companies do that to keep centerfolds from becoming wallpaper.
