Posted April 7, 200816 yr Have a Gillian Anderson picture I really like, but it's too small - if stretched enough to fill the screen, the quality is terrible. I expanded it as much as I could without totally ruining it, and gave it a wood-grain border matching the hardwood floor she's lying on, using The GIMP (learning to do more with it all the time). Screenshot taken, as always, with the WinSnap utility included in The Gimp.
April 7, 200816 yr 800x600, ouch... You should get a bigger screen so that you can run 1280x1024. I noticed that you often have women as your background. Here you got some nice pictures; http://oasi.upc.es/~dzpm/images/ubuntu-calendar/ (NSFW - contains (artistic) nudity).
April 8, 200816 yr Author 800x600, ouch... You should get a bigger screen so that you can run 1280x1024. Easy for you to say. I got no money... :hmm:

Aww! :( You must have a 14" or something, I haven't seen anything that small in almost a decade... 800x600, ouch... oh well, at least it isn't 640x480... Hope you can get a hold of a new screen sometime... Maybe a friend, have an old 17" in the basement that he can give you for free?
April 9, 200816 yr Author Got a 17", actually - better than the previous 15", but still find any higher resolution causes too much eyestrain. :hmm:
April 9, 200816 yr Got a 17", actually - better than the previous 15", but still find any higher resolution causes too much eyestrain. Oh, 17" at least you can live with that. I did... for a while. Now I have a 19" CRT, but I really want a 22" or 24" LCD. Most people use 1024x768 on a 17" screen.
April 9, 200816 yr I'm running 1280x1024 on a 17" LCD. Ditto. But I do find as the day goes on I have to wear my glasses to see it better.
April 10, 200816 yr You should save some money, you probably would appreciate a 22" screen. But then again... easier said than done...
April 13, 200816 yr I'm running 1280x1024 on a 17" LCD. 1440x900 Can't remember how wide it is, but pretty big for laptop, I think 17 inch.
