Greetings folks

I have discovered that I am lazier than I thought  :P

I will be somewhat unavailable over the next few days, I will be drugged out of my mind and in bed attempting to get beyond this damaged back muscle group, but felt that this would be an excellent opportunity to ask the community for assistance.  :D

I am looking to replace many images at the Circle Dock Home Page, and I have already added a few, but would like to include a wider diversity.
Essentially: I want your screen shots of Circle Dock, and a few full desktop shots wouldn't hurt either.

If you folks would be willing to post your Circle Dock screen shots, I would be greatly appreciative.
What I am looking for is a diversity of sizes Backgrounds and program run settings. Not just Circles, but Ellipse too, if you have this set up.
These images do not necessarily need to be a clutter free desktop, as many of us use our desktops, but can be shown over running programs as well, Like Firefox, Word, FileZilla, I do not care.
I am looking for everyday screen shots, and the the clean shots as well  :-*

If you are willing to share, be aware that I may utilize your volunteered shots for the Home Page, but for advertising Circle Dock as well.
If you need reference, you are welcome to go over the Home Page to see what I have, and make a determination of what I need, I do know that I am sorely missing Practical applications shots (ie. Circle dock over a running program)
So if you post your shots here, you are essentially agreeing to allow me to utilize the posted shots in any way I see fit, and there may be no recognition, other than what I post to the Home Page, or can squeeze a user name in on a post  :P

If you feel you have a shot that expresses exactly what Circle Dock is to you, to a business, or to a solid all around user, let me have those screen shots.  :Thmbsup:

The home page is here of course:
http://circledock.wikidot.com/start

Help me fill in images that I am missing so I can fill the Home Page and posts to  other sites with fresh, up to date, and insightful images  :tellme:

Thanks in advance
The Sarge

You can take any shots you find may be appealing.

Anything, appropriate, goes

These are your shots


I guess I could ask for general info.
example:
Name of programs we see
Name of Desktop background if any
And I will be utilizing DC Screen names for the labeling on teh donated images, unless other wise specified, as I have done in the home page gallery

I have started showing Circle Dock with third party programs in them, but make it clear what the viewer is seeing.
So sure, as you desire  :Thmbsup:

With and without apps up. I run 2 monitors but cropped down to just one. If you want a shot with booth monitors on or a background let me know. I have a few custom backgrounds but usually just run plain black. I rarely see my background anyway :) O, and the CD rings are elliptical just slightly.

and yeah, I got a decent number of mapped drives.

Note on apps running (kinda obvious but):
Visual Studio 2008
GiMP
Gadgets
  Weather
  Time/calendar
  CPU usage
  Network Activity
  Drives

Backgrounded:

Flash
Dropbox
ESET NOD32
DropBox
GoToMeeting
KeePass

Note that I blanked out private data on a few places.

those are some very nice looking screenshots.

ps. sarge, i have a little pet peeve about giant signatures.
yours is nice laid out but i'd love it if it was half the size.  i just think it gets a bit crazy when a thread is fill with them.
