My first wallpaper.
Hey guys. I just finished creating my first wallpaper!
I'm allways looking for clean wallpapers and there is some good ones out there, though some weeks ago I found this:
I really liked this one and though that of course it would look badass if it was a arch logo and not a heart!
So I sat down today at photoshop and came up with this:
It did not came out exactly as good as I wanted it but I am still proude of my self. Photoshop was a bitch and I had to redo the picture from scratch twice^^
Anyway, please tell me what you think of it.
You can find a full-hd res version here and aswell as the psd file if you wanna extend it or anything I do want to encourage this cuse I belive someone can probaly do alot better work than me!

Well, actually it was on my sisters school laptop where she got some student licence activated for photoshop. So I kinda did'nt really bother witch program I used sins it would just be a test picture in the end. Though I can honestly say that even if gimp is free and all that, it has to be one of the most boring programs to use. I think that the gui structure is just awfull and somehow allways performs alot slower than photoshop.
Though now it has been about one year sins I last used it, but in my opinion I have allways felt that it is a bad program.
If there is any other contender to gimp, photoshop or xara. Please let me know, cuse I wont be able to use photoshop as often as I need to^^

[python] setting a variable in a loaded module from the main script
Hi,
I have have two python scripts, one generally controlling my desktop wallpaper, the other downloads the APOD picture from the net and sets it as my wallpaper.
At the moment I can get the wallpaper script to load the apod script as a module to use its functionality.
The problem comes when I try to get the module to recognise variables set from the parent script:
I have both scripts using the variable 'verbose' to control how much output is printed, (which can be set from the command line options).
How do I get the 'verbose' variable in the imported module to be the same as the variable set by the script?
I can get it into an imported function using a keyword assignment when called, 'download(verbose=options.verbose)', but this is forgotten when other functions are called.
I have also tried making it a global variable.
I assume it is because I am importing the module and setting the default value before the main script sets its value, but I cant see a way round this.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Drewsimplicity:

I think I understand why it gives the results it does when run as 'test1.py -v'
I was just wondering if there was an easier way to get the second script to take and remember the variable without having to write variable=value into the function call every single time? However this is the only way I have found so far.

My first openbox theme (actually first theme of any kind).
http://box-look.org/content/show.php/Ar … tent=75799
I made it to go with a wallpaper I made:
(Yar I know it's similar (practically identical) to many other wallpapers: e.g. http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=74357. I imagine we all followed the same tutorial )
Edit:
I uploaded the other wallpaper the theme was made to go with:
Last edited by bavardage (2008-02-23 21:51:01)Even though I like dark themes and dislike flashy ones, this one looks realy nice.
The wallpaper also looks good Would you mind doing a set of the first wallpaper in different colours? -
Annoying graphic errors (flashing)
Hello,
I have a problem with my PowerBook G4 (OSX 10.4.3-10.4.5). I bought the Book last March. The graphics card is an Ati Radeon 9700. Last month I got a Samsung Syncmaster 214T TFT Display for my office workplace to which I connect the PowerBook.
Problem description:
I connect the PB via DVI to the Syncmaster 214T. After a few minutes the screen starts "flashing" from time to time (approx. once per minute). It's hard to describe... As if the whole content is pulled to the side for half a second.
This happens nearly every day. When I adjust the cable at the PB dvi port long enogh, the flashing stops. Usually I have to adjust the cable to a position where it's "beveled" and not fully inserted but gets the signal through anyway. Sometimes this workaround helps.
Is it the cable?
I changed dvi-cables with a friend. He had no problems while using my cable, but I had the usual flashing issues with his cable. So I guess it's not the cable.
Is it the graphics card?
I connected my PB to the following devices:
- a beamer (via dvi/vga-connector): No problems (res. 1024x768, 10 times 2 hours)
- two other beamers (via dvi/vga-connector): No problems (res. 1024x768, several times for 2 hours).
- a iiyama TFT (dvi): No problems (res. 1600x1200, 30 minutes)
- an Apple Cinema display (dvi): No problems (res. 1920x1200, 1 hour)
- a Samsung Syncmaster 244T 24" display: No problems (res. 1920x1200 for 30 minutes, res. 1600x1200 for 15 minutes).
- another Samsung Syncmaster 214T (same model as mine): Same problems as with my Samsung! Same flashing issues. They appeared immediately (30 seconds).
Is it the Samsung display?
There have been several Macs and Win-based pcs connected the the Samsung displays with no problems.
Does anyone have an idea what might be the reason?
PowerBook G4 & PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)Next hint?!?
There have been many errors two hours ago. Approx. every second one graphical error! changed my wallpaper and had no problems.
Switching back to the first wallpaper - errors immediately.
Switching to back to the 2nd one - No errors (for now approx. 2 hours)
Any suggestions? -
How do I set the wallpaper for the the first page only
how do I set the wallpaper for the the first page only.I have my ICE #'s as wallpaper but I only want it on the first page
When you set a wallaper you are asked where you want to set it. Either Lock Screen or Home Screen or Both.
If you choose Lock screen it will only appear when you wake up your phone.
If you set it to Home screen, then it wil be set behind the app icons on all your home screens.
If you choose both, then it will be on both.
Not sure what you mean by the " have a photo of my ICE in contacts that I am trying to use????"
The Photo should be in the Photos App. how is it in contacts? is it assigned to a contact? -
First attempt at arch wallpaper
I hope you guys actually like it.. It's my first time. I'll practice and keep doing better .
Last edited by AquaFox (2007-07-16 13:55:02)It's a good begin but don't like the colors
Otheriwse a good wallpaper would be a blue one and adding a great arch logo in a lighter color
If you don't understeand, if you gave The Gimp, make an image, fill it and create a selection, fill the selection with white but not at 100% opacity
Would be nice, will maybe try tomorrow -
First generation iPhone wallpaper

daveYou can't transfer the wallpaper photos included with the firmware/OS, but you can transfer photos from your computer to your 3GS that were transferred from your computer to your original or first generation iPhone.

Good luck everyone.Hello everyone,
Here is my submission for the contest with 7 wallpapers (I know it's a lot... but I was inspired so... ^^ )
For the 2 first ones, I wanted some classic good looking wallpapers with the MSI Dragon being the center of it, with some high quality effects. So here they are, a bright version and a dark one.
Hope you guys like it.
For the 5 next ones, I tried something really different. More in an advertising campaign way. Some minimalist looking wallpapers, trying to focus on simple things, no shadow effect. Art on it's purest form, simple but well thought.
I asked myself why people would chose MSI instead of another brand, so I figured the people who already know that. So I first started with the "Gamers know why" because it's obvious, then went to an iconic e-sport legend ("Legends Know Why") Mr. Patrik 'cArn' Sättermon, I think he and the Fnatic team clearly represent why people should chose MSI. So I used the Fnatic team for the third one "Winners know why", they are clearly one of the best multigaming team of the world and are sponsored by MSI for quite a few years now. (The picture is from the IEM 5 For the 4th one, I noticed that I start to see more and more MSI laptops around me, at college etc, so I thought that "The World knows why". And for the last one I tried to represent the spirit around the MSI Dragon and the whole Gaming part of MSI, that feeling of POWER. So I tried to make that last one a combination of the 2 styles. Representing the Power coming out of the Dragon... in a minimalist way. So here's "Unleash the Dragon". I hope I succeed. And I really hope you like my work. It took me several hours to complete that "campaign" and I'm really proud of it. I used the "#" system in it because as I made it as an advertising campaign, I thought it would be nice if everyone could share that spirit easily.
The picture of cArn and the one of the Fnatic team are from the internet, the rest comes from my personal pictures (textures and such) and of course everything is homemade.
Cheers. -
First impressions... There's still a long, long way to go
I'm a very experienced (and still heavy user) of Windows Mobile (not Windows Phone). The Playbook is my first Blackberry and I have been using it for 2 weeks now. I believe both the hardware and OS have much potential but currently feel the latter has still much to progress. This is a list of my opinions and ideas of the experience so far.
#Playbook#
#Pros:
1- Good hardware, small form factor, clean and stylish design.
2- The upcoming Android support is a blessing (a much needed boost in app availability).
#Cons:
1- The lack of available "native" apps is dire:
1.1- Extremely low freeware availability (many apps free under other platforms are paid in the Playbook... many don't exist).
1.2- Good apps are scarce (even among the paid ones... most are just adapted web pages).
2- No customization (besides wallpaper and icon position).
3- The OS and bundled apps are still very immature.
#Improvements (OS and bundled software):
The lack of native email client and calendar / agenda were near the top of the list. But I see these are to be included in version 2 of QNX.
1- General:
1.1- Predictive text is helpful (when done right) for instance in foreign languages (by replacing typed common chars with the correct uncommon ones... saves a lot of time especially considering how these are input).
1.2- Custom dictionary (a must... I'm a doctor and the vocabulary is very specific).
1.3- Swipe frame to scroll pages
1.4- Put volume control in top bar.
1.5- Add USB host feature so one can transfer files to / from any PC (because most I come across don't have Blackberry Device Manager).
1.6- Add a real file manager is a must (a app based approach instead of a file based one is counter productive).
1.7- Add a painting app. It would be a very nice inbuilt feature.
1.8- Support more ebook formats (at least epub... chm would be nice)
2- Desktop:
2.1- Rename, create, delete, move tabs.
2.2- Cut, copy, paste, rename , create, delete, change image of shortcuts
2.3- Widgets (especially feed readers and post-its)
3- Alarm clock
3.1- Set music from file
3.2- Multiple alarms set at the same time (for instance I have different wake up times depending o the day of the week... it's frustrating having to set different hours every day instead of having multiple recurrent hours set).
4- Office apps in need of much improvement (it's feasible... SoftMaker Office was a killer suit under the old Windows Mobile / CE):
4.1- General:
a) Select file type in first save and in "Save as" menu
b) Allow multiple open files at once (to easily consult and copy text... because I may or may not want to save changes in the midst of editing).
4.2- Word to Go:
a) Support for txt, rtf and odt
b) Ability to search
c) Create indentation (tab)
d) Create bullets
e) Create tables (at least import from spreadsheets)
f) Import images
4.3- Sheet to Go (at least as good as Bye Design Spread32...):
a) Support csv, ods
b) Ability to search
c) Insert columns / rows
d) Copy / cut / paste entire columns / rows
e) Predictive /automatic cell completion (based on values that already exist in the same column / row )
f) Spellchecking text in cells
g) Formulas, commands, macros
h) Graphs
i) Keyboard doesn't automatically pop-up when a cell is selected (must select textbox in the upper screen)
j) If for any reason you abandon the input box the text will be lost
4.4- Slideshow to Go:
a) Support odp
b) Ability to search
c) Create and edit presentations
6- Adobe Reader (I direly need points 1, 2 and 3... 4 and especially 5 would be very welcome):
6.1- Ability to search
6.2- Jump page by number
6.3- Bookmark features
6.4- Text selection / copy
6.5- Highlight and annotation
6.6- Fill forms
7- Web browser:
7.1- Open offline pages and swf files.
7.2- Keep audio and video streaming while viewing a different tab.
7.3- Better bookmark management (folders for different groups).
7.4- Option to translate page or highlighted text.
7.5- Powerful tab and session management (like Firefox TabMixPlus)
7.6- Powerful download option (build download galleries, download embedded videos / musics... basically Firefox Flashgot and DownThemAll)
7.7- Adblocking (a must when the screen is such a valuable real estate) and Privacy /anonimity. FF ABPlus and Ghostery
7.8- Form text recovery (like Firefox Lazarus)
7.9- New email notifier (like Firefox Webmail Notifier... unless you already addressed this with an indicator in the desktop top bar now that you added a native email client)
8 - BB App World:
8.1- Connection to server falls often
8.2- Can't uninstall apps if disconnected from the web
8.3- Can't remove apps from the installed app history (it becomes cluttered very fast)
8.4- Can't filter free and paid apps in searches
8.5- In general more limited than web version
9- Movie player (like a very tweaked version of the OSS PDA champion TCPMP... something in the lines of VLC):
9.1 - A wider format list support :
a) Videos: flv, mkv, rmvb, mov, mpeg, 3gp (and variants)
b) Audio: flac, ogg, mid
c) Subtitles: srt
9.2 - More playback options (slower or faster replay)
9.3- Stream media
#PC software# Device Manager, BB Desktop, App World plugins for WIndows
1- Too many processes running (terminate all unnecessary ones on device unplug... help not bloating Windows).
2- No BB App World in BB Desktop (why use the browser if we still need to install plugins... might aswell make a shell for mshtml).
3- Application management (backup / restore, uninstall).
4- Install applications from outside the appstore (backups in the pc... else must download everything after factory reset... and possibly major updates right).
After trying them all I kept just the essential Device Manager (needed to connect to my PC).
#Accessories# suggestions
1- USB 4G dongle (because Bluetooth 2.0 speed is just lousy and I believe most owners would buy it... I would).
2- Dock with hdmi and usb connector.
3- USB adapter to connect pendrives to the device (coupled with needed usb drivers update in the OS).
4- Thin (maybe attachable) keyboard (like the one of the old HTC Advantage). Saw videos of a prototype (?) at Crackberry (which in my low experience feels like one of the major BB community) but besides looking bulky the current kickstand concept would render the user unable to place it over the lap if needed (in a train for instance).
Currently it doesn't match my needs (comes in handy sometimes but it's still not a suitable full replacement for my 4 year old PDA). Hope this changes soon. RIM has a reputation of being a firm that produces devices for professionals and that's what I'm hoping for.
Hope my oppinion don't pass as aggresive (it's just what I honestly think). Sorry for any mistakes but I'm new to the platform and company (as for grammar and typos English isn't my native language).3.2 you can make multiple clocks, each clock can have a different alarm.

I have tried to use several animated gif images as wallpaper on my Nokia 5610, but none of them will animate, only the first frame shows (no cycling of frames). Are animated gif's not supported by the nokia 5610? Is there an option I need to turn on?
Most Nokia phones will not support animated GIFs as wallpapers (I say most just to cover myself, I'm not sure that any do).
You should be able to view animated images withing the gallery, but the behaviour you describe seems normal for the wallpaper. -
Mountain lion flashing apple bar/flashing wallpaper/no dock?
i have a macbook pro that i bought april 2010. i bought ML from the app store about a month ago. im now having a few problems.
the battery died while my daughter was watching netflix so she plugged in the charger. i pressed the power button and left it. i walked away for a while and when i came back the screen was black. i assumed in sleep but it was off. i double checked the charger was correctly attached. OK. and pressed the little button on the side to see the battery level. 5/8 lights lit up so that was OK. i figured it a fluke and tried to power on again. it got to the grey apple screen with spinning gear and a progress bar came up at the bottom. there was no progression in the bar and about 5 seconds later the computer was off again.
my daughter THEN tells me that when the screen went black the first time she pressed a bunch of random buttons on the keyboard. i dont know if that can do anything or not.
i then tried to start with option. it was the only thing i could think to try, i used to have windows partitioned on my HD but erased that because i didnt use it and just had a small partition that i had time machine on.
i chose to try to restore with a time machine back up. it was seeming to work. restarted computer and signed in with my primary/admin account. it was moving very slow but was moving.
-slow startup
-computer seems lagged. im seeing the spinning color wheel after every click.
-in my admin account the dock is gone. i tried to change the settings to disable the dock hiding so it was always at the bottom of the screen...still no dock.
-my wallpaper and the right side of the apple bar at the top of the screen (wifi/clock/battery/etc) was flashing every few seconds on and off.
i tried to boot into safe mode to see if that would do anything.
i held shift key right after power button - gray apple screen/spinning gear. -power off
i held the shift key as soon as the start up chime started until the apple. -gray apple/spinning gear-no change for 2 hours. forced shut down with power button.
i waited until the end of the chime, held the shift key until the apple. -power off
after that i couldnt power on at all except in recovery mode. regular start up would take me to chime/apple/spinning gear/progress bar then shut down.
restored with time machine back up again. got to login screen and tried to login with my second/guest account.
-very slow/lagging/spinning color wheel
BUT the wallpaper isnt flashing to gray and the dock is in place.
but the right side of the apple bar at the top of my screen is flashing. i havent tried to log out of this account to try logging into my admin account yet... what should i do? any ideas?Is this problem only affecting one user account?
Does booting in safe mode (hold down shift key at boot time) get you in? -
On my iMac, i created different accounts for the member of the family. When i switch from one to an other account and go back to the first account the wallpaper change automaticly to a solid color wallpaper. I have tried all the solution described on different forum for Mac, but no one can fix the problem. This had known under 10.8, but i have hoped that will be not the case under 10.9 !

How do I set a photo as wallpaper to my iPad Mini after iOS 7.0.2 software update?
I open up the Photos app on my iPad Mini to choose a photograph to use on my home screen and lock screen. First, I hit Select located in the upper right side of the screen of the app and I choose a photograph to use. Second, I choose AirDrop located on the upper left corner of the app. Afterwards, I choose Use as Wallpaper found in AirDrop. Next, the photo is shown with the words Move and Scale on it. Then I choose Set Lock Screen, Set Home Screen and Set Both, not all do these at once though. When I click on each of these buttons nothing happens. The photograph I chose will not show up on my Lock Screen and Home Screen. I want to set this photograph to show up on both my Lock Screen and my Home Screen. I am getting very frustrated that I can not set a photograph to Set Both so that it shows up on both my Lock Screen and Home Screen at the same time. I forgot to say that I just went to my settings, then general, then reset and finally Reset All Settings before doing this, because I could not download any new apps at all. I am wondering if this has anything to do with this? I am willing to take any help I can get. In the end, I end up hitting cancel, because I am very frustrated.
Hello there, RedHead101.
The following iPhone Basics guide should help you with how to do this. It should work just like that on your iPad:
