greenknight Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Got a 17", actually - better than the previous 15", but still find any higher resolution causes too much eyestrain. :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Capman Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldmannen Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 You should save some money, you probably would appreciate a 22" screen. But then again... easier said than done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate Predator Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
