Title: I made a wallpaper for you guys.

I found the pic on a web site and i did some simple fool around with Gimp.
 I include the web site on the pic along with my email.

Tell me if you like it or if you think i should take out what i wrote on the corner of the pic or alter what i wrote.
  I never published anything so I am not sure what to do.
  By the way am making a web site dedicated on Linux. Among other things It will also have Wallpapers that i will make.

The picture is a bit too small to serve as a wallpaper...

 In gnome it works fine for me.


In any case, i will resize it.

If i increase its size, it gets funky looking  :( .   It works if you put it as a wallpaper and scaled.

I fixed the smallness issue, and did a couple of other things. I did give proper credit to Bazoukas!

I tried with Gimp but i didnt have any luck. Its my 4th day using the program, so am still learning my way around it.

I used Macromedia Fireworks in WINE.

I stretched the background, copied the "LINUX" thing over and erased the background between the letters to make it the same as the other background.

Muffin got it right, only Fireworks isn't the best tool for resizing images at a large scale (that's why that ugly blob on top left is there), so I resized it in Photoshop.

I did it again, in Fireworks, using the orig. background this time.
Quirk: It still looks very streched (Both the text and background) The LINUX text looks good on the one's I'm making. Just a preference, that's all.

Yeah, it's either this or that. Mine has the right colors and dtails but the text looks like crap. Yours is the other way around.  (http://smile.gif)

How did you get Fireworks running in WINE?  I tried to run it, but all it would do is load, then close.
