Like this www.flickr.com/photos/23959276@N07/3755154658/sizes/l/ I also made a 1280X1024 www.flickr.com/photos/23959276@N07/3755197662/sizes/o/ After getting it on my desktop the LOGO seems to be a bit to big and it would be nice if it could be made smaller, the LOGO that is. _________________ Registered Linux User #380263 Registered Linux Computer #279395 Linux, working hard to save you $$$ - Get a clue, get Linux!

That is one of the very best KDE 4 branded wallpapers I have ever seen! Very nice work!
Edit: I just tried the wallpaper on my desktop and you are right, the logo is kind of big. You are on to something really nice though! |

Has anybody figured out how to change the colors of the panel, does it use panel wallpaper like 3.5 did?

Hey Jimmy
I am very impressed with the look, especially the logo. Very well done. I would love to create something similar, what application did you use to generate the image. Also I think someone mentioned having the Logo as a widget separate for KDE4.x that would be very neat Kieran _________________ Registered Linux User # 493977 MEPIS Linux,..............

I can't take credit for the wallpaper, it was created by josk. _________________ Registered Linux User #380263 Registered Linux Computer #279395 Linux, working hard to save you $$$ - Get a clue, get Linux!

Mostly is used gimp but also photoshop. Metallic: Its done using 4 layers of the same image (in this case mepis logo). All those layers have different opacity and effects like emboss and inner glow. Background: I did bars and radial blurred those. Then I made those white spots to the other image. And little bit air brushing. You can google and find many good tutorials for gimp and photoshop. |
