Interpreting screenshot backgrounds

[kazitor]

I'm typically very self-conscious of what sort of extra information I include in screenshots. I'm quite prone to opening them in graphics software and meticulously drawing over any extraneous details.

But some people aren't! Let's extrapolate as much as possible from other people's screenshots!

For example (a time I was less rigorous):

@Cursorkeys said in UI Bites:

@kazitor said in UI Bites:

Not pictured: me subtly editing out most of the background because I'm self-conscious about what I include in screenshots

That's what you thought, I made a GUI in Visual Basic and got it back again. It was just as I suspected!

Something else: the avatar pops out of the frame when the taskbar is at the bottom but not when it's in any other corner.

Bottom:

Right:

First and foremost you will note that @Zecc keeps "Not a porn folder" at the top of the start menu. Logically, the various multi-gigabyte subcategories of "Porn folder" must be immediately beneath it. The rest of the menu is blank.

Also note the use of Firefox, some kind of Acrobat extension, tree tabs (I think), some S extension, and possibly an ad blocker!

My Firefox window was maximized btw. The Start menu goes all the way near the top of the screen.

@Zecc Oh shit. I'm so used to mine being slightly below the top left I hadn't even noticed

<Serious> left to right: the bookmarks button, uBlock Origin, Stylus or one of its derivates (I'm on another computer, can't confirm), Tree Style Tab (you were close), Save to PDF, Firefox's mystery meat menu.

Edit: quoting for your viewing pleasure.

@Zecc Oddly enough, I would have had Firefox in my screenshot displaying the home page of WTDWTF, but decided against it lest anyone see two of the addons I have installed.

And what’s with the weirdly shaped metal dildo for an avatar.

I don't understand. What's weird about it?

I always crop/block out info I don't want. I even chop out my bookmark bar in firefox most of the time.

If I do leave a tab open, it's on purpose and usually for comedic effect.

@Tsaukpaetra you have so many potential candidates in your fuck list. Drowning in pussy much?

I wish!

[stillwater]

@Tsaukpaetra Yeah you and me both.

Looks like 21 layers of Iframely fail to me.

@HardwareGeek isn't too adept at taking phone screenshots, but is too lazy to hide the evidence (that is to say, "wait").

[Gąska]

@kazitor I always have this problem when I want to make screenshot but instead soft-reset the phone.
