arpaxa, can you reduce your photos? they are way too big and they slow down the thread when first accessed. The forum's software eventually performs a reduction, but....

Thanks

Here are 3 more window shots that I use:

Still the same photo from the Isle of Skye as background.

I've had the same one for years. Jackson Pollock's Full Fathom Five

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

How do you get that Pollock to fit? I just tried it and I get an inch and a half of blue down either side of the screen and a bit more than half the pic up and down (the bit from the middle).

Change the size of your screen!

Turning it 90° in either direction ought to do it, MG, or, perhaps, 2 Pollocks are better than one?

Christiern's windows shots are very nice!

Here's my desktop... this photo is from last summer's vacation at Lake Superior Provincial Park in Ontario:

Very nice, Onslow (sorry, Uncle Skid), and thanks for the complement. And thanks arpaxa for the reduction

To use this opportunity, here's another one.

That's what I did. I rotated it and then copied and pasted parts of it to fill in the gaps that showed up around it. Now it's a Pollock collage.

Because I'm Minton's-obsessed, having recently visited this historic jazz club for the first time, this is my current desktop background/wallpaper:

Ah - well, I suppose with a Pollock it really doesn't matter which way up it is. Silly me...

Now this Rothko, it needs a bit maintenance around the edges so it tiles seamlessly, it works for now...

Been using this for sometime...

Mark Sheldon posted this pic of Lonnie Smith on the Blindman Blues forum

I enlarged it 46% this morning and cropped the bottom half off so it went to 1024x768 and it makes a SUPERB desktop. Been out shopping and when I got home and turned on the PC - wow! took my breath away!

I change my work one a lot. Now this:

On the Blindman's Blues forum, someone posted some paintings of bluesmen by a French artist Denis Gérablie. They're very nice. I'm using the one of Son House as my background now - over Christmas, it's a lot warmer than the Lonnie Smith.

Here's the link.
