If you have, I would like to have a screenshot of your desktop with the picture below as a desktop background. Your help will be much appreciated and I'll give you credit wherever I submit your screenshot on forums (unless you object of course).
I have no commercial interest in this, I'm just a regular user who wants to make the world a better place. My intention is to promote virtualization technology and demonstrate graphically how you can run several operating systems on the same machine at the very same time.
Here are the instructions:
1. Make sure that your screen mode truly is 1920x1080, (I don't want to have the wallpaper rescaled in the screen shot). Make the following picture temporarily your desktop wallpaper:
2. Open a window and arrange it as the black rectangle in green in the following picture:
This window could be paint, notepad or any software that opens a standard windows 7 window with Aero translucency. I want this window to look like a typical hardware demanding FPS game (such as Crysis 2 och Battlefield 3 or similar) running in windowed mode in Windows 7.
3. Make sure there are no desktop icons covering the green shaded parts of the image above and make sure that the window you have added is active. Press "SHIFT + PrintScreen" to capture the screen.
4. Open Windows Paint or similar software and paste the screenshot by pressing "CTRL-v".
5. Save the picture as 24-bit PNG, BMP or TIFF (NOT JPEG or any image format below 24-bit!), and submit it as is back onto these forums. You can upload it to e.g. "imageshack.us" but make sure you set the "Do not resize" (!) option.
If I had Windows 7 or the hardware to run it I would do this myself but I currently don't so your help will be much appreciated.
