hasn't changed much since 2006



props on linux lx, I use it on my EEE pc

[lxskllr]

I've always liked the Zune theme, though I always change the background. That, and a couple custom themes is what I used most.

What Eee do you have? I've got the 900. That has the CeleronM 900mhz, and a 16gb SSD(glorified thumb drive :^D). It's a little pokey, but I love it. I gave my mother my full size laptop cause I wasn't using it. I have Ubuntu 10.04 on that also :^)

Oh yeah, I've changed the Zune background up many times, but often those backgrounds were not practical and I got fed up with one, so I looked around for a clear one, that wasn't just a color, or something that I didn't like anymore, and I couldn't find anything in my folders, so I just chose the original Zune one, out of laziness, and never cared to change it again.

My EEE is the 1000hd, 160 HDD, same processor I believe.

Mine is just a fairly plain Gnome desktop - I like to keep things simple.

I wish I knew how to insert photos on this board. Mine always come out tiny.

Ok, here is part of the problem. The file uploader says a png file is acceptable. But, when I upload a png file, it is converted to a scaled down jpg. Why won't it upload the same file I choose?

Without knowing what service you use, it's hard to give specific advise. I use, and prefer Imgur. You just upload the picture, and copy the relevant link. I resized mine as a large clickable thumbnail so it wouldn't be so big, but I should probably just make it full size since others did too. Check out my thread regarding the upload script in the Linux Users group. It's pretty handy when uploading pics for stuff like this.

Easiest way to resize photos that I have ever found is with Irfanview. Totally free app that is so simple to use. Open a pic, click on "Edit", click on "Resample/Resize", give it a precentage of original size (I usually just down sixe to 50 or 60 percent of original size) and click ok and save. Resized to a good size for the internet. Then just upload and display. The app is easily findable witha google search. Its the image viewer I have used for years and years. Give it a try.

Nice site. I use Interfacelift http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_b...oads/date/any/

and DeviantArt http://www.deviantart.com/

DeviantArt isn't specifically a desktop site, but there's tons of interesting things to look at, with an emphasis on digital art. They have a little bit of everything there.

I guess I just don't like going to all the trouble of uploading my picture to another web site, then linking to that from my post, here. Most web sites let me attach a picture directly from my computer to a post I make on their site. Snuson does allow this, but it changes my picture when I do so, as described above. Again, I prefer to keep things simple.

the one thing I can't show is my DESKTOP

@lxskllr

hmmm looks like you need to crack your windows, the background looks like a non-genuine version of Win7
