Here is one idea i had. But, now that it's done I'm not sure i like<br>
it. Maybe it has too much spacing between the word "colorado".<br>
<font color="#888888"></font></blockquote><div><br>(Okay, that didn't work. Too big. Trying again with smaller images.)<br><br>Andrew,<br><br>That's a pretty cool idea, but I would offer a couple
suggestions. I don't know how to do it as I'm not very good with gimp,
but if you could make the working look like it's chiseled into the rock
that might look more "natural". Also, and this is more personal
preference, but I am not a fan of scenery for wallpaper. There are too
many colors, textures and shadows that make it hard to see what's on
the desktop. I tend to go for more abstract like <a href="http://www.vladstudio.com/wallpaper/?545" target="_blank">http://www.vladstudio.com/wallpaper/?545</a>.
This one has been on my desktop longer than any I can remember. What
I'm wondering is if you can stylize the scenery to make it look kind of
like a painting or something or make it flatten and with fewer colors.
I'm not sure that makes sense. I attached a couple quick changes that
approximate what I'm saying. I wouldn't suggest either as an option,
just a lame attempt to describe what I mean. Of course I'm sure others
prefer regular scenery. Last, I wonder if it would be fun to play on
the rock images with "ubuntu-rocks" instead of just ubuntu.<br>
<br>Anyway, just some ideas. Feel free to take 'em or leave 'em. I have
little to no artistic talent so my suggestions are probably not worth a
whole lot. <br></div></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Jim (Ubuntu geek extraordinaire)<br>----<br>Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.<br>See <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html">http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html</a>
