Sorry if this turns up twice. > First send went down an Internet blackhole. There's nothing exciting about my .reminders file. Most of what I have in it has been talked about on this mailing list. But if you're interested, it is attached. Perhaps the interesting bit is the part about "set"ting the colours. I did also do another version of dailypic that looks at the desktop environment and tries to use the proper background changing script, instead of just xfdesktop. I've tested it in gnome (ubuntu). I've got something in there that might work on kde (but I haven't tested it yet). And you can specify where the daily.png is put in a startup file called .dailypic. Also for this to work, the picture needs to be set as centred in your desktop settings. For a pretty effect, I make the colours in the background a gradient with two lightish colours. Dark colours make the few white pixels surrounding the text show up, as the transparent backgrounding in the convert utility is not perfect.
