November 2, 200618 yr While I was searching Sarah Michelle Gellar pics to find last month's, I happened on to this one. Sort of a "kitten with a whip" pose. Kinda kinky, eh?
November 4, 200618 yr here's mine for this week. today, i turned on the Themes service and tried out the Zune theme and the Royale Noir theme but both didn't satisfy me. so for right now, i'm sticking with HmmXP's sexiness. Clean: Dirty: as always, very highly compressed
November 9, 200618 yr Wishing my backyard looked like that in the morning Where did you get that wallpaper from, New_Age? Here's my current:
November 10, 200618 yr i got a new wallpaper. i got rid of the wallpaper because i found too many artifacts in it. must have been compressed to 70% or something. anyways, here it is. Clean: Dirty: as always, very highly compressed :love:
November 11, 200618 yr as always, very highly compressed Highly compressed? Are you sure? uh... .jpg, only 261kb, no external compression programs needed. 1280x1024
November 12, 200618 yr JPEG = lossy compression(loss in quality) PNG = lossless(no loss in quality) lossy always wins in terms of compression :love:
November 13, 200618 yr JPEG = lossy compression(loss in quality) PNG = lossless(no loss in quality) lossy always wins in terms of compression 109kb What application are you pasting your images into? I just use Photoshop, not even a Save for Web...
November 13, 200618 yr PNGOUT. i just use "pngout /i <savepath>" after clicking the print screen button. i also use PNGOUTWin(a GUI for it) which can kick the size down even more(after trying to compress it 6 times). btw, Photoshop is known to make huge PNG files.
November 23, 200618 yr new one for this month. i got tired of the old one so i changed it a little bit. i only changed the wallpaper since the last one that i had was boring me. enjoy! as always, highly compressed. btw zaphirer, i tried re-compressing your PNG file(earlier one) and i kicked the filesize down to 80632 bytes. btw, why do you even have SQL Server installed? or VC++ for that matter :love:
November 24, 200618 yr Nov., kind of late. PNG NO COMPRESSION! LOL G'day Zaphirer, what's the desktop program your using? Cheers
November 24, 200618 yr btw, why do you even have SQL Server installed? or VC++ for that matter Since PNG is a lossless codec, it reduces file size by using pixels of the same color; the wall paper, which makes up the majority of it, is all one color to PNG. So that's how the entire image is only 109KB, even though it's 1280x1024. In a more complex image, like yours or my most recent one, there is a whole bunch of different pixels, etc. so it can't be compressed as much. G'day Zaphirer, what's the desktop program your using? Cheers G'day to you too No actual programs, just a Visual Style (.msstyle) and Glass2k, which makes toolbars, windows, etc. transparent. Glass2k You can follow this excellent tutorial to fufill all of your customization needs, no 3rd party programs required. Here.

In a more complex image, like yours or my most recent one, there is a whole bunch of different pixels, etc. so it can't be compressed as much. that doesn't really answer me question though. i already know that that's what PNG does(i made a 1024x768 image with all the pixels being black. the smallest i could reduce it to was 174 bytes )
November 25, 200618 yr that doesn't really answer me question though. i already know that that's what PNG does(i made a 1024x768 image with all the pixels being black. the smallest i could reduce it to was 174 bytes ) Well, it installed itself with C++ and C# Express editions o.0
November 25, 200618 yr not here . i only have VC++ installed(i love compiling stuff) and the install didn't give me SQL Server(which is extremely useless).
