Not just for the articles, but all website/webpage authors in general, who are not pros but have to do it themselves nevertheless. No, I don't want to know, honest. I'm asking so that others may learn a few things.

And while you're at it, how 'bout just taking screenshots of a (non-maximized) window instead of your entire desktop? Oh, and including an article with the screenshots is also nice. I'd ask for comments in the code too, but prolly shouldn't be greedy...

How on earth are you supposed to pronounce PNG? I say Ping, but is there an official pronounciation? Or is it doomed into two camps like we have with the jif/gif people?

The official word[^] is that it's "ping" -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

David Wulff wrote: How on earth are you supposed to pronounce PNG? I say P.N.G? What else would I say? No "ping" or "pung" or "peng" or whatever... When I say JPG I say J.P.G! I don't speak English when I talk filetypes to friends. That would be weird because I'm not an English spoken men, I'm a swede! :) Do see the point!? :) Rickard Andersson@Suza Computing C# and C++ programmer from SWEDEN!

Rickard Andersson wrote: When I say JPG I say J.P.G! Well, the difference here is PNG is actually PNG; JPG is actually JPEG, but got DOSified somewhere. If PNG was actually PING, then pronouncing it any way other than "ping" would be silly, thus JPEG is Jay-Peg. Vowels demand pronunciation...

No wonder everyone became programmers instead of graphics designers :) Have a look at my article (below) for an example. Adaptive palleted GIF are the best for UI type screenshots. Heck look at all my articles!!! MyDUMeter: a .NET DUMeter clone

Huh. You call that a screenshot? Where's your full color landscape photo wallpaper? Where's your extra-large gradient XP frame controls? Where's your alpha-blended superfluous icons? :rolleyes:
