latest - showing off nifty new bash prompt.

the Gimp has lousy compression -- i was able to reduce the size to a couple hundred kb by converting to jpg, but the text and some other stuff got all blurry. how do you guys make small/optimised images in linux? i need my photoshop.

All of these are amazing. But just how much resource are we willing to dedicate to back rounds and desktops? I guess it's just a new form of art. I appreciate the bandwidth warning synaptical But they sure are impressive!

Actually, a lot of it depends on your windows manager. I'm currently using fluxbox and it supports rounded corners, menu and tool bar transparency, and still maintains a fairly small foot print

Here is my Fedore Core 1 Newest Screen Shot using KDE.. I love the Enterprise background.. of course it would look better in BlackBox on slack, I have other plans for over there...

That actually is an awesome backdrop!

Me too - that's awesome!

The Background came from http://www.caedes.net/.. One of my favorite places to get backgrounds, of course there are many more places on the net where I get them from..

here is my latest. i am pretty satisfied with this one eventhough i don't go for fractals very much i really like this one.
full view is 2.2MB image

cool fractal. i've been experimenting with a fractal generating program lately, and so far i like the results. they're not technically a screenshot (not yet, at least ) but here are two of my recent ones in case anyone is interested:

here is my comments on them. egress has good potential. but fract1 is a lot dark. i was working on the brightness and contrast and came to a nice image but i couldn't save since my work puter is win2k and it crashed on me as i was saving. funny. my work computer doesn't work.

you're definitely right that one is way dark. that was kind of the idea, like for a super-subtle background (i tend to like them dark -- e.g., try it at night) but maybe it doesn't work.

the thing that is really p!ssing me off, though (the two things, really) is that number 1 this XaoS fractal program -- while very cool otherwise -- is saving the images at a fraction less than true 1280x1024, and number 2, the gimp can't seem to open any of the files it saves. i'm not even sure they are actual .png files. i'm not really sure *what* they are, although the default extension in the program is for saving the files as .png. maybe that's why w2k crashed. i might try to get photoshop set up through wine this week and see what that can do.

thanks for the feedback.

nice pic of the forums :P

This one does not beat my FC1 Enterprise screenshot, but this Slack With Black Three is great.. So Click Here to Check it out...
