Long ago I made a few backgrounds to make my desktop look nicer. You may use this however you wish, but if you use them online I request that you link back to this page and copy the image to another location to save my bandwidth. Myspace users seem to enjoy directly linking to images; luckily HCoop's current colo provider doesn't charge obscene fees for bandwidth as our ancient one did. * Fractal Fire [[img/backgrounds/lame_fracfire.png][img/backgrounds/pre/lame_fracfire_pre.png]] A rather nice background that I use on my laptop nowadays. * Nifty Background [[img/backgrounds/nifty_bg.png][img/backgrounds/pre/nifty_bg_pre.png]] One of the first backgrounds I made; I put this together in a few minutes on an old OS X machine at school to show someone how to use [[http://gimp.org][GIMP]]. * GPL Keycaps [[img/backgrounds/gnu_gpl_keycaps.png][img/backgrounds/pre/gnu_gpl_keycaps_pre.png]] Just bits of the [[http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html][GPL]] strewn about a blue background. * Face [[img/backgrounds/face.png][img/backgrounds/pre/face_pre.png]] I had a picture of a face lying about, and so I ran it through some filters and got this. * Gray Mosaic [[img/backgrounds/gray_mosaic.png][img/backgrounds/pre/gray_mosaic_pre.png]] A very large (1920x1200) gray tile mosaic. It looks particularly nice on a 24" screen.
