thegrassisgreener Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Hi all, this has probably been discussed before but if you have a personalised wallpaper to school can you post it for us all to see? which appears on all desktops?
kestrel1 Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Plain old boring default Windows Blue. Thought of creating a school background, but not got around to it yet.
PEO Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 admin account has black back ground, teachers backgroud is gray, and the kids is purple. makes it nice and easy at a glance to see if billy no mates is logged on as pupil or staff or worse administrator :-)
maniac Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 This is ours. Designed it myself in the summer, because I was fed up with boring old blue! Got it on all our machines as the default wallpaper, and behind the login window too. Looks very good when in use, although it's never going to win any design award. We opted not to put the school badge on, as ours is a bloody awkward shape! It's held locally on the C:\ drive of the machine, allowing me to have different resolution versions for each type of machine. I also have a script that checks a network share for a new version at machine startup, so it's fairly easy to change if we want to. Mike
SimpleSi Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Black for teachers Blue or Green for pupils (Depends upon school) Both with school logo on a 640x120 graphic centered (fits all desktops) regards Simon
FN-GM Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I will post one of ours tomorrow, we customise ours depending on the user. For example year 7s will get "2007 student" and the head gets "Headteacher". I am going to suggest a special one for Christmas, what are your thoughts on that? Z
maniac Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 We always customise our wallpaper at christmas, and the header of our intranet and helpdesk system.
FN-GM Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Would it be possible to show me an example of one please? Z
tech_guy Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 We always put a picture of Santa emptying his sack on the screens at xmas.....
localzuk Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 We use the school crest on the desktop for the pupil accounts and staff can customise their own. The admin account has the standard bliss background. Having a xmas'y desktop could be nice though - I might do that.
Joedetic Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 I was asked to produce two desktop backgrounds for my school. I produced a staff one and a student one. Both of which underwent many revisions at the request from the head of ICT until they were exactly as he wanted. They looked both professional and they details on contacting ICT services for students and staff on the separate files. A few months after i leave, they replace them with some sh*tty one for everyone that looks as if it's been done in mspaint and is a VERY poor copy of mine...same layout, similar content with regards to words. I found it quite offensive to be honest that they find that p*ss poor copy a better version than I produced after a few months of revising it down to an exact spec from the HoD.
maniac Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 We always put a picture of Santa emptying his sack on the screens at xmas..... Sounds a bit dodgey if you ask me . . . . .
mattx Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 We always put a picture of Santa emptying his sack on the screens at xmas..... I was going to change ours to this: http://www.stuffucanuse.com/christmas_cards/small_dead_santa.jpg For some reason, they won't let me.
richard.thomas Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Pupil desktop is just our logo on a slant with shaddow.. think this is the one of the first things I did when I started here.. the staff one is the same but with "Staff User" at the same, and the colours are alittle different.
FN-GM Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 This is our wallpaper, each year group and staff ranking has there own personal one. Z

webman Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Maybe it's that new transparent wallpaper that when you apply it, all you see is the inside of the CRT tube or the back of an LCD...
FN-GM Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Ah I didn’t work lol I did attach it but didn’t look at the post to check, i will try again 2morro. Z
