Awesome wallpapers, the last one is pretty nice! I might want to use 
that one as the official wallpaper for the Tropic theme. But, I will 
need it in Greyscale, 1600x1200 in order for me to make it into the 
right colors (as it will grace most of the Tropic artwork, from Login 
Screen to Desktop).
