V.T. Eric Layton Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 With all the rain we've been getting here in the Tampa, Florida area this past two weeks, the grass in the yard is really starting to grow. I was outside working on one of my trucks today and realized I was going to have to crank up the lawn mower some time this week. Here's this week's desktop with that in mind...*click for bigger pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueD Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Thanks Eric. I did have personas installed but none of them went well with the blood red border I use. They're too cutesy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueD Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 My look is very simple. Black, surrounded by blood red. There's nothing left for me to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlim Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Scaring away the kids might be a good thing; they won't be tempted to use Sue's computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueD Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Most of the wallpapers I use in Slackware is a little, um, gothic but not all of it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueD Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I like that! It would be perfect in a blood red instead of blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Here's a real pretty one, I think...*click for bigger picNotice the Slackware logo on the bottom left. That is a custom SuperKaramba theme that I made myself. I'm getting pretty good at this stuff, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Nice one Eric !I'm getting pretty good at this stuff, huh? Just what I was going to say indeed ! . . . . I think The Gimp has no more secrets for you, has it ?I like the blue one from yesterday as well: Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Thanks, Bruno. You know, just ask if you want a copy of the wallpapers you see here. I even have the base papers (before Slackware branding) in case you want to make Mandriva branded wallpapers with them. HA! Are you kidding? I haven't even begun to use the GIMP to its full potential... definitely still learning. What an outstanding application it is, though!

SueD Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Thanks Eric, I grabbed them both. :)I like the ocean one too. It's not my taste for a wallpaper but I'd love to be standing on the shore right about now.I haven't figured out Gimp except for a couple of things I tried and somehow succeeded in doing. I'm not an artistic person by any means (my stick people collapse in shame) and I lack imagination so I tend to shy away from programs like that. Keep up the good work. I always look forward to seeing what your next creation is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jodef Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 HA! Are you kidding? I haven't even begun to use the GIMP to its full potential... definitely still learning. What an outstanding application it is, though! Eric are you self thought or do you know of any good resources for learning to use GIMP.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 @ Sue... artistic? Me? I'm TOTALLY left-brained. There's not an artistic bone in my body. I can't carry a tune with a forklift. Stickmen are about the limits to my drawing abilities, too. However, I do manage to have some fun with paint and graphics apps. A DISCLAIMER HERE: In case y'all are misunderstanding or assuming incorrectly... I usually don't make the base wallpapers that I post here. I just do the modifications (mostly Slackware branding) with GIMP or Kolourpaint. Just didn't want y'all thinking that I had created that beautiful seashore wallpaper or the pyramid one.@ jodef... all self-taught. However, here's a very helpful GIMP site that I found recently: http://gimpology.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Just goes to show you how much I love my new flames, The GIMP and Kolourpaint. I hadn't thought of MS Paint or Paint.NET in ages. Thanks for the memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueD Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Thats awesome!!! Do you have a link for the wallpaper?ThanksI'm not 100% I got it http://www.desktopnexus.com/ but it's more than likely I did. You should find it under Abstract. There's a lot of really awesome images in there. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
