Here that is what are have found by now somewhere around (everything for PC, I'm sorry for Apple users), and some others on my own:

[Screen Savers ] [Wallpapers]

[Music & Audio] [Videos] [Other files]




Screensavers:

These files are compressed with the WinZip 8.0 (I warn you of this because sometimes there are problems with those that have previous versions). To install them make click on the link, choose "Save this file to disk" and, once finished the download, make double click on the file to unzip it. Later make double click again on the file .exe you get, and the installation is automatic.

They all have been dowloaded from the digital edition of newspapers, so they have publicity (more or less bothersome).

I have finally learned how to make screen savers, the truth is that it is a foolishness. So I will go on putting some of them so that you can download them. At the moment there is only this one which I am very proud of because it is the first I have made. To download and install it, it is necessary to follow the steps that I have indicated previously for the other ones.




Wallpapers:

To use them make click over the option that more suits you according to your screen resolution (which seems to be of ), wait till it finishes loading (it will take a while according to the size of your screen) and once the whole picture is opened make click over it with the secondary button of the mouse and choose the option "Set as wallpaper". However sometimes it is not good to fill the full screen with a picture because the icons of the desk can't be seen properly, in that case you simply repeat the previous process and choose the previous resolution.

As they are big pictures they take their time to load, be patient. So that you make yourselves an idea of the time I have put to their side the size that takes each one.

These first ones are all of the newspaper "El Mundo".

Next ones have been taken from the screen savers above, so some with resolution 1024x768 can't be seen properly (but it is hardly noticed) (so that you don't waste telephone I have put you an asterisk in those which are worse)

Music (MP3) and Audio:

As everything in this section, the music files are compressed with Winzip 8.0. The process to download and to install them is the same that in all the previous ones, to listen to them you will have to use some of these audio programs like Windows Media Player, Real Player G2, or the Winamp (which I recommend) . Who knows, any day I may cheer up to design one skin...


You can now listen to an interview to Joan after the final of the Davis. We are trying to pass it to mp3, so at the moment it is necessary to be satisfied with the flash version. We have been told that its size is so big that it is quite uncomfortable to listen to it directly from the web, so we have modified the format in order you can have it in your computer. Download the file the same way as all the above-mentioned, making click on the link, saving the file to the disk and unzipping it later with WinZip. You will obtain 3 files, to hear the interview you only have to make double click on the one that is called "entrevista. html."




Video:

Here you have two options:

  1. Make click once over the link with the primary button of the mouse (in which case the Windows Media Player will open up and it will take too much time, watching the video with a good quality),
  2. Make click with the secondary button of the mouse and it choose the option "To save destination as..." (in which case you will keep it in the hard disk of your computer and then you will be able to see it whenever you want and with a normal speed).

Personally I recommend you the second option, the only inconvenience is that you will have to wait to download the whole archive completely.




Interesting files:


As always, if you have something we can use in this section don't doubt to send it to us:
