462060 2006-06-10 15:11:00 If one has ever seen the Flickr! site and seen the little boxes that open to dialogs on some of the pictures, I had a (strange) idea of trying that on my desktop too.

Here's the idea;

I want to put a favorite pix on the desktop without any icons at all; just make some of the areas respond to clicking on them to open various programs, web-pages, etc.

I thought that if I used a pix of my computer like we posted a few months ago where we showed our hardware in a post here, and made the keyboard into a hidden icon and click area to open FireFox, that it would be really neat to unclutter the desktop...and really different too!

Any ideas on where to get started for this project?

Then make a webpage with the image you want, then code in an image map.
