Warp effects are tacky :-(. Here's my take on it, with colours matching my earlier slide design. It's 1280x1024, but I can make a 1024x768 version as well. http://nova.student.utwente.nl/~lourens/gfx/opengraphics/oscon_2007_presentation_images/wallpaper1.jpg http://nova.student.utwente.nl/~lourens/gfx/opengraphics/oscon_2007_presentation_images/wallpaper1.png It has a dark background, which I think works well for a dimly lit room. For a bright room a white background is probably better: http://nova.student.utwente.nl/~lourens/gfx/opengraphics/oscon_2007_presentation_images/wallpaper1_white.jpg http://nova.student.utwente.nl/~lourens/gfx/opengraphics/oscon_2007_presentation_images/wallpaper1_white.png The XCF is at http://nova.student.utwente.nl/~lourens/gfx/opengraphics/oscon_2007_presentation_images/wallpaper1.xcf.bz2 Incidentally, I will be moving house in two weeks, at which point nova.student.utwente.nl will probably cease to exist. Its contents are likely to show up elsewhere eventually, but it may take a while. So get it while it's hot. Lourens
