V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 Just do what I did... open it in GIMP and change the canvas size to 1680X1050 - centered, then save it as a .jpg. Reopen and bucket fill the added space with Black. Continue on with the addition of your text for Arch or whatever. :)Anyway... one last dragon:*click for bigger pic Quote

Bruno Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Wooow . . very nice Slackware wallpapers Eric !!! Bruno Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 I can never seem to find decent Slackware wallpapers online, so I just resort to making my own these days. Thanks, Bruno. Quote
SueD Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 And another...*click for bigger picOoooh, I like that one!Hubby hates my wallpapers as I tend to go for dark, gothic and generally creepy themes but I like them because they're easier on my eyes. Can I steal this one? Huh? Can I? Huh? Huh? Can I? Quote
Bruno Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 . . . so I just resort to making my own these days . . . And you do a real good job there Eric ! Bruno Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 Thanks, Bruno! :)Here you go, Sue... or anyone else who wants it:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v647/vte...ck_dragon01.pngWhen you set it as your desktop (using KDE), just choose Center and Single Color (Black). This will center this image and then seamlessly surround it with black, so your screen resolution will make no difference. Have FUN! Quote

jodef Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Well here goes a screenshot of my latest desktop ---> Parsix 2.0Not the most spectacular and it's not because I'm not creative rather I'm a simple guy and I'm sticking with that story Quote

securitybreach Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) ImageShack is slowwwww. However, I can't load images this large to my faster Photobucket. Be patient when waiting for the full sized image to load. Thanks. Try http://www.imagebam.com/ Its easy, fast, does everything photobucket and imageshack do, plus its ran by linux servers. Powered by dedicated Linux servers. No frogs or beavers insideI have been using it for awhile and its great. I can upload my 1680x1050 images. Imageshack seemed to always want to resize my image even though I unselected 'resize'.Thanks Edited April 25, 2009 by securitybreach Quote
