Which one, Grokking the Gimp? Is that helpful? I've just never gotten around to it...that's probably the next phase.

I haven't done much creative arts lately but cm1967 its not all that hard, What you have to do is install gimp, open a blank page say 1024x768 and have some fun
Gimp you can get http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/ttuuxxx/programs/graphics/gimp-2.4.0-rc3.pet
and with a little luck you can also create nice images also, These are a few a did about 1 year ago http://www.ttuuxxx.com/puppy/indexbackground.html
The moon image I took during a eclipse, That was the actual colour

Yes, Grokking the Gimp from our library. The NASA site has some cool pictures, I just placed them on a black background for a start.

Nice! All three!
Ok, included in the mix, do we have any screenshots out there of any of these Puppy wallpapers put into effect? Icons/jwm/icewm-themes applied, etc? I'll see what I can come up with too...
Oh, and ttuuxxx, there is a gimp 2.6 thread out there too; I had to add that one to one of my remasters; it's got a couple additions/changes that I like a lot better than 2.4.

Steve I have 2.6 but just one thing about it its over 3 times the size of 2.4, now do really do think that a couple of new addons are worth going from 5mb to 15 MB or 24MB? Thats why I recommend 2.4 at 5 mb you can't beat it:)

This is a blue patterned background with the nice blue logo from the thread I mentioned previously.

I think i've found a good wallpaper for Puppy 3.10CE.
That's if, if you don't mind.
If you want to join the Puppy 3.10CE Art Project you can.

I tried to pm you, J-bob, but it seems the forum is updating itself or something, so I couldn't get it to go...I'll either try later or please pm me...I would love to be added as a contributor, so please tell me what else you need from me...
Ok, on another somewhat related topic, I am wondering if anyone has done anything with (I asked this question in another thread, so please forgive me) a tux avatar (like the one I use) that has been modified or Puppy use...I've searched and I couldn't find one that was puppy-ish...wanted to use it in wallpapers and such. Anyone made one?
