greenknight Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangix Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 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.

Ultimate Predator Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Wishing my backyard looked like that in the morning Where did you get that wallpaper from, New_Age? Here's my current: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangix Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphirer Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 as always, very highly compressed Highly compressed? Are you sure? uh... .jpg, only 261kb, no external compression programs needed. 1280x1024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangix Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 JPEG = lossy compression(loss in quality) PNG = lossless(no loss in quality) lossy always wins in terms of compression :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use Photoshop, not even a Save for Web... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangix Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 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.

zaphirer Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Nov., kind of late. PNG NO COMPRESSION! LOL :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangix Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenutyEnool Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Nov., kind of late. PNG NO COMPRESSION! LOL G'day Zaphirer, what's the desktop program your using? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphirer Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
