Special "X" Wallpaper

[PohlSE]

Great to see you back so soon Mbwun!

You've just got to join in on the wallpaper action, don't make us beg!


Judy,

I am envious of the revolving wallpaper, that'd be a lot of fun. I wonder if there is any equivalent of this for Windows...

Google time!

Edited to add:

HAHAH!

You can rotate your wall paper on a timer with this program!

Ooohhhhh, I like this . . . very classy . . . but my icons are all on the right . . . could you do one with space on the rt.?

Is the image size okay for your screen, Judy? Let me know if you need it bigger.

TBLightning,

I'll go grab those pictures and cut the background out of them and post them as .GIFs so you, or anyone else who needs transparencies for that matter, can grab them. The one thing that photoshop is really great for is transparencies.

On a black background the Slade one will look good again, and they will all blend in better.

They all might look a bit strange if you put them on white.

Many thanks for those, PohlSE. I'll work on utilizing them later tonight if I can free up some time.

In the meantime I'll provide everyone with this, which is a variation on the basic black background that I did last night:



I thought an attempt at humor/humour was in order. Hopefully the milk people won't be too upset at my creative plundering.

Think of it this way: Special X is *REAL* (for purposes of this discussion). What would be used on the actual computers in the offices on Heather Street?

I've got a few ideas that I'm bouncing around my head. More to come soon.

To all the incredibly talented artists, I can only say you've blown me away. I cannot wait to see the newer ones coming. Eric, if I may, I think we may need to organize a seperate "Special X Wallpaper" section. You guys just knock me out.

Ok, this one was a pain in the posterior, but I love obscure references:

Remote enough?


TBLighting,

That last one didn't come through for me...

Nevermind... I got it... Very nice!


Steelclaw,

I like the neon skulls, that's a cool idea. It reminded of Andy Warhol a little bit!

[Slade]

This thread is the best yet!

I keep wondering what I'm going to see next.

Well old man if it were't for you .....


Thanks PohlSE I tried to make this bigger but made a total bollix of it



Between the two skulls I'd put Special X .net and it's to small to make it damn it sorry 'bout that .
I'm just not any good at any of this.

Nonsense I've liked all of your ideas! It's just the mechanics of the program you're using that you have to get used to.

When you get in there to create something make the new canvas at size at least 800 width and 600 height (pixels) or larger... Then you can scale it down later. It can make the processing time a bit slower, but it gives you plenty of breathing room, so to speak.


Don't get discouraged.

Never give up...

...never surrender...

hey wait a minute...

Man, I've got to stop watching kids shows...

PohlSE, I clicked on the link.......and burst out laughing! An instant classic!

Here is a totally different direction:

And if I may say what a hell of a direction.

I think that Jay will be pleased, brilliant, PohlSE, lovely touch indeed

Well PohlSE, I'll say you're being generous...overly so, I'm crap really, but I do thank you all the same .
a BETTER VERSION perhaps? What'd think?

I like it, the text has a ransom note feel to it.

I think you're being your own worst critic.

Thanks PohlSE! I would join you in the wallpaper action, but all I've got is Paint and I don't think that I would be able to do very much with it. But thanks for the invite.

And as you've probably noticed, I've changed my avatar, but just until October 31. It goes back the Gothic Lady on November 1.

Hope you don't mind me using something similar to your new one. I found this whilst websurfing and couldn't resist.
