hehehehe! It's quit startling! I wish I could have it on my PC, but the picture would have to be stretched out to do it. Doesn't look too good! :D

Why not create a canvas to the resolution you want and then copy & paste that notebook wallpaper into it?

Because the image would have to be stretched to fit to the top of the screen. I can't just put balnk space above it, because the image is cut off at the top and bottom. I'm just afraid that the image will look distorted if I try it.

edit: I just tried it, and it looks fine! I might keep the other though! :)

abstract using yahoo widget engine/konfabulator. my widgets are ones that come preinstalled with yahoo widget engine with the exception of the hard drive indicator widget.

background i got from the abstract section, categorized the "top favorites" at only 1280x1024 wallpapers from deviantart.com.

i like my desktop all clean...

edit: cleaner version without the widgets.

Konfabulator widgets are unnecessarily big and tacky in my opinion. Goes against the clean concept

I've never liked 'em. Too much clutter, IMO.

I'm sure you were! I just wanted to make an example of you! :p

I, as I'm sure many of the gals here, just get perturbed sometimes when we are asked for pics. It just gets old!
