No more grey backgrounds
The little Application named Backdrop simply opens a wide-screen and flat window, which you can use as a screenshot background. Its default color is white, but you can change it. So if I understood you well, it would have help you keeping your favorite desktop pictures while making your book (I was so sad reading your note).
No more grey backgrounds
The problem with an application to do this (I used to use TextEdit to accomplish basically the same thing) is that it adds to the required application switching to get the layering right. So if I need a screenshot of a given app with a Finder window open behind it, or of app #1 with app #2 also visible, I have to do a fair amount of clicking in just the right order to get the windows all set up on the proper layers.
No more grey backgrounds
There's an easy enough solution to this. I can update Backdrop to give a setting which will place it behind everything, just like the background on your computer.
I didn't have this in the past because, for my own purposes, I needed the blank white to cover the 300 icons on my desktop! :-)
Thanks lagroue for mentioning my little Freeware app...
Re: thanks
You're welcome !
Backdrop 1.1
I just released an update to Backdrop which has the option to place the window behind the desktop icons (this may only work for 10.2 or later).
No more grey backgrounds
I just use my Nikon Pro14n and shoot nature. Then with some Photoshop time, I have my own desktops. At the res I want. Its amazing what you can find in your parents garage, or workplace. Some sofbox light, a filter and presto...its art martha! |
