Solid Black Desktop

jcisco | Oct 4 2006

Hi All

I'm really trying to get a solid black desktop - but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. In choosing your desktop, apple doesn't provide a solid black background, just a dark grey. How can I get black? Thanks. JC

I've modified my Solid Colors...

Submitted by Chrome47 on October 5, 2006 - 6:43am.

I've modified my Solid Colors set (I saved a duplicate of the original in case I needed to go back to it.) I took out the kelp (eww) and added a dark blue-gray, modifying the originals in Photoshop. I suppose you could modify one of those to be solid black in Photoshop as well, but it looks like Berko got it taken care of.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
