Enhanced Wallpaper

for people asking about the blue wallpaper i used, here it is along with different colors.

 

and another..

 

Many Thanks!!!

Using them now!!!

 

i tried to unzip one of these to the usr/share and i can't get to it. when i go to file manager and input the location (usr/share...) a little red circle with a horizontal white line through it pops up and it wont take me to the location. I've already engaged the "advanced" mod, but how do i get it to prompt me for my root password or whatever so i can unzip the png (i think that is the right file type) to the file...any ideas?

thanks

 

I noticed two problem when using these wallpapers... the "settings" and "help" buttons on the main desktop are now very hard to see since their color is so dark. Is there a way to change these fonts so they're white or something that will stand out? Secondly, the search bar on the desktop still shows a little of the default gray wallpaper surrounding it. Is there any way to clear that up? Thanks!

 

Could you make an orange version of the wallpaper?

 

here you go. sorry if it took a while as I came from a vacation. I'm currently running on XP now so I haven't tested this on A1 Linpus. let me know if it fits.

regarding the search bar, I use this wallpaper without it (disabled) as i don't use it often.
for the help and settings button, i edited their .desktop files and removed the name so it will only show icons and change the icons into something else. i might be posting some png's that could work for different colors but i cannot promise a specific date when (sorry).

here's how mine looks:

you don't have to unzip these. just save them in any folder on your SSD (or SD expansion, eg. My pictures) then right click > settings > desktop (if i remember it correctly) then locate the file.

 

here's a transparent png file for the search bar for people who find it useful. backup existing search_bar.desktop.png from /usr/share/search-bar/ and replace it with this one. i haven't tested this yet as i don't have the linpus installed on mine. let me know if it works.

i've decided to put the PSD file here so anybody can create their own color scheme (we're promoting Open source anyway.. )

download the PSD file @ mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=84df ... 705bb6a8d4

 

cool,thanks! I'm using this as my XP backgroud.

that's cool. thanks for using it. cheers!

 

Very nice.. have downloaded the blue design.. all goes well until I reboot then I get the default solid colour background. I have checked the Settings : Desktop Settings option and the "Show Image" box is ticked AND also if I have booted and get the default solid colour background then toggling the tick box in Settings : Desktop Settings brings back the desired background.. bizarre

Anyone else get/solve this?

 

Make sure that the file is located in usr/share/backgrounds. Linpus Lite seems to be fussy where desktop graphics files are located!

 

Thanks Steve

Just as soon as I get gnome or KDE to work and give me access to the usr directories I well try your suggestion


Many thanks

 

tanks for this nice wallpapers

 

Nice backgrounds, I just don't know which one to use lol !

Anyways, for people who have them disappear at each reboot put them in this folder

/usr/share/xfce4/backdrops

Also here is my sun set one I just made using the template provided. hope you like it.

 

nice! that's a fresh one. keep it coming..

 

Well i'm using it for now, though if i can't get vpn to work i'm going for standard fedora or tinyxp. Though i like my own background

 

Thanks for the PSD

I just had to have my Penguins....
