Shining Walpapers

#1 Post by Pizzasgood »

Some of you may recognize some of these from the 2.15CE betas. WhoDo made a green version of the original blue one I posted, but since that blue one was already compressed with JPEG, his wound up being huge to maintain the same quality. So decided to dig up the PNG version I'd saved so I could make a green one that's as small as the blue one. While I was at it, I came up with two other varieties. This time, I also uploaded the lossless PNG files in case people want to modify them without losing stacking amounts of quality.

These were made with The Gimp in Pizzapup 3.0, using the famous paw-print of psr1's daughter. I just did the special effects (ripples, lens-flares, crazy glowing psychotic shininess, etc).

Feel free to enjoy. Personally though, I think I might just go to sleep now. :)

I really like the blue one. I'm using it in 2.15ce alpha with the aquablue theme - they compliment each other well! :D

The blue one is the original. I made it with the IcebergX IceWM theme in mind, though it should be nice with most blue themes. The green was because WhoDo wanted a green one for 2.15CE. The red and spotlight ones were accidents while I was trying to convert the color to green without losing the yellow of the paw and the white of the ripple-highlights.

The "shining.jpg" blue wallpaper one works very well with the (currently) default Velvet-Baise (shouldn't that be Baize?) theme.

The green background doesn't have enough contrast with the green theme, leaving everything too green - my take on it was "borg-like" but another poster put it more "colorfully" - "looks like a leprechaun barfed all over the screen!"

FWIW, I prefer the "encircled pawprint badge" and "Menu" for the main button. I believe "Start" may be an MS trademark, and "Launch" just sounds cheesy. If we stick with the non-circled pawprint on the main button, the graphic need to be cleaned up - it's kind rough, too large and not nicely antialiased as it should be.

Also, the window-bar buttons really get lost in the Baize (or any other very dark) theme - I would suggest making the rollover colors the default, and then maybe make them more intense or "glowing" rollover image.
