Is it to show off your desktop and items, or can someone who downloads it make their win look like that?

somebody should fix the spacing thingies here. It looks stupid with all the text unbalanced and thrown to the left.

i never really liked screenies, but i think at the most positive these can promote other skins and also inspire other users to set up their desktops like this. yay.

I must admit, generally when I submit a ss I suppose I'm showing off a bit, but just because I think my dt is the coolest thing since sliced bread doesn't mean the next person will think that. I also submit my ss to promote interest in my upcoming next set of skins or new features in HVD.

I view other people's ss for inspiration with new projects, and just general nosiness!!

Screenshots is visual bragging. Similar to pieces in grafitti (or was it graffiti?).

I think screenshots are here just to share your dektop with others. Sometimes i see a desktop and i want exactly the same. I also think, if you submit a ss, please write down what programs/skins you've used. If you don't you're just showing of. It should be about SHARING.

It came from the use of shells [other than exploder]...and has been around for a long time to show themes/shells in action where some people may not be running the same system and cannot replicate it themselves.
OK, so if some dick-weed loads his brand spanking new XP default setup and opens a winamp skin and says 'woopy-do, look at me ain't I a wanker?'...we can all agree.

As I remember, one of the most interesting sections to keep an eye on at skinz.org was the screenshot section....but then, I'm a 'STEPper, not a wallpaper spammer....;p

OR, maybe it's just to show the progress of one's theme and ask for input from other people (at least that's what I use them for)

I agree with escopedo, its to show progress on work and ask for advice.

Nah, both really. Partially to show a work in progress for feedback and partially for showing off.
