Why don't you add full size 3200x480 image instead of that small preview so people could just copy that to MyDocs/.images and then it would be available as background image set and people wouldn't have to select all four desktop backgrounds separately?

Also, your post actually gave me an idea, so I've made a quick how-to about changing the wallpaper colours through the hue settings on an online image editor, even though I like the original blue better http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=778533

Edit: I don't mean to make this post so people post here their different colours, just for their own personal use (if your still alright with that, otherwise I'll remove this post).

first i googled a nice big monochrome smoke pic. then i separated parts of it in a photoshop document 3200x480. made a blue layer on top and used overlay transfer mode to give it color. saved it as jpeg then opened it in adobe after effects and used an effects called trapcode shine to give it the slight zoom blur and light boost look. opened it again in photoshop and applied 4 equal slices of 800x480.

the seamless effect is another process.

btw, this new wallpaper looks great.

but you have to agree that what he did was rude to the threadstarter right? i do not wish to talk abt it further that is why i did not drop names.

...and yet you said yourself that you took some random smoke image from "internet" and mocked it up and then advertised it was your own creation...

I mean, come on, no-one has stolen your thunder and you should be just thankfull that someone made the hue-adjustments for you, saving your time. What's the big deal here?

To make the desktop file you open notepad or whatever text editor you use and put this in it.

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Background Image
Name=Whatever you call your wallpaper
Hidden=True
X-File1=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/your_image_1.png
X-File2=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/your_image_2.png
X-File3=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/your_image_3.png
X-File4=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/your_image_4.png
X-Order=01

Change the bold italics bits to suit you and your image names. Save as Whatever you call your wallpaper.desktop
Done.

And stop being precious about people helping you, or adding to your work. D-Ilvil is right.

I'm just (t)rolling around laughing at how the simplest comments can spark debate on m.org - it's super smashing great fun to sit back and watch!

Maybe I need to get a life?
