soSIOUXme Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I'm curious to know what others are doing. Over time Sioux, especially Sioux Hockey, seems to have taken over my computer. There have been some great wallpapers posted here for download which I have used. I've also customized logon screens, rainlender (desktop calendar), bootscreens, screensaver, etc. What do you do to customize your computer with Sioux stuff? **Thank you to all who have posted pictures and wallpaper! Here is most of what I have done using the images you guys have posted and modifying some other imagesSioux Stuff If you click on the thumbnail it will show larger I am always looking for new ideas, since nothing else in my apartment is decorated w/ sioux stuff, yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoHawks! Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Those are pretty sweet, how do you use them for purposes other than a background? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soSIOUXme Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Those are pretty sweet, how do you use them for purposes other than a background? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have windows XP so all I know is relative to that **For the calendar I use freeware Rainlendar **For the Bootskins I tried 2 different programs both freeware --Bootskin from Stardock. Requires 16 color Bitmap images --PHM Plus! for Windows XP (This program allows you to customize all kinds of things and you can change the bootskin from the MY COMPUTER Properties screen.) Also you can use any picture. **For the Logons I use freeware LogonStudio There are tons of free download themes at Wincustomize.com for Rainlender, Bootskin, & LogonStudio. **For the screensaver I use Microsoft PLus! (Came with my computer) It has a bunch of 3D revolving screensavers that are pretty cool and you can customize which pics you use. I have customized pretty much everything with Sioux logos, icons, wallpaper etc. If you want any of my versions PM me with your email and I'll send you some files.

Schmitzzz Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 My computer at home plays "Stand Up And Cheer" when I turn it on. When I worked in Minneapolis I used to set all of my Gopher-Fan co-workers' computers to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upper Deck Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Are there any Sioux hockey screen savers/wallpaper links on this web site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMom Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 My screensaver is a slideshow of Sioux WOMEN's hockey. I also added in a couple pics of my littlest hockey player with a few of the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soSIOUXme Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 thread with wallpaper links took me a couple minutes to figure out how to do that I put the wallpapers that I used in the logon screens here if anybody wants them. (only the last five images are wallpaper so they are the only ones at 1024x768) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallassiouxfan Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 thread with wallpaper links took me a couple minutes to figure out how to do that I put the wallpapers that I used in the logon screens here if anybody wants them. (only the last five images are wallpaper so they are the only ones at 1024x768) How do I shrink the pics so they will fit on my computer and show up normal? I am using my right click and selecting set as walpaper but when I do that it is all distorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to save the picture and resize it in a program like Photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I worked in Minneapolis I used to set all of my Gopher-Fan co-workers' computers to do the same. That is outstanding. If you care to share, I'd love to learn how to do that. You're talking to a pretty low lever user, FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallassiouxfan Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I just right clicked on the image I found and selected set as wallpaper. It gets set as my wallpaper but it is almost like it doesn't size correctly to the screen. Its formats too large and it is subsequently all blurry.

soSIOUXme Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 I just right clicked on the image I found and selected set as wallpaper. It gets set as my wallpaper but it is almost like it doesn't size correctly to the screen. Its formats too large and it is subsequently all blurry. I sent you a message but I just tried something else, are you right clicking on the small image and choosing to set it as background. If so try clicking on the image to bring it full size, then set it as background. Let me know if this helps at all. Good Luck, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
