sorry i forgot, in case you dont mind me using your backgrounds, is it possible that you send me a bigger resolution one, maybe a psd?, of course if you want, I would make sure your name appears on it.

thanks again, Marcelo.

Well, I’m running 1280×800 here, so the first look was kinda zoomed in on the corners of the image. If I resize it down with a Lanczos filter, the artificts blend out well enough.

Try sitting back from your monitor a couple feet.

Ha!

No, you may have a point. I didn’t see it as an issue when I was saving them, but now, all I see are the colors banding. Sadly, I am far too lazy to fix.

Went a little heavy on the JPEG compression, don’t you think? I like the Ubuntu and Negative looks quite a bit, but they have way too many artifacts to actually put on the desktop.
