"The office" Perfect for the corporate CDE environment.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Install Mtpaint, think of an object, a famous artwork, or something else entirely, then try and draw it on a 16x16 or 32x32 tile. Just make sure it tiles well. Patterns of shapes are good and things that make it look like something is going into the distance.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
hehe :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
LOL funniest thing I've heard today. Thanks. sharpened lego bricks...lol
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Nice one. I wonder if it's hard to do. I suppose it depends on the pattern complexity. I'd try by creating a small pattern, than cropping the image at random. in theory it should work.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
A tile that I found here. http://zensites.net/fvwm/guide/fvwm-guide-icons.tar.bz2 http://zensites.net/fvwm/guide/index.html

A reed mat backdrop from Geworks.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
That looks pretty decent. Thanks for pointing me to MtPaint. I works nicely and has a minimalistic footprint which I prefer.

You are a very bad kitty.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
I like the 8 bit spirit, but it is sometimes too monotonous. I wanted to continue the experimentation with the jpg errors. Put some colour in your life ! Enjoy.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
I have made it more suitable for a tile by making the image twice the size, then copying and pasting the image, and then rotating and flipping each part so that it reflects on the x and y axes. I do all the editing in MtPaint because it easiest to make simple pixel art in for me.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
The first noise image reminds me of this.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Another patterns coming for jpeg reading errors that might inspire you.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
I had this capture I've made from a error of video playing in VLC. It maybe should be modified but this is intresting as a pattern.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
This is from Taj Mahal, a window grille.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
I've created an abomination. It is like a nightmare I had: I was shrunk to the size of a mouse and lots of screaming children were after me with sharpened Lego bricks of different colours.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Here's a screenshot. And one more (Sun) tile for the road.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
That's the Microsoft Windows HE (Hypnotic Edition) Logo... :-p
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
I made this tile but it makes me feel sick. The dots in the middle of the squares feel like they are constantly shooting small darts at my eye.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
This is aMAZEing!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Love it!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Looks like something that should be on a Novell workstation or something.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
That's what a computer desktop background was supposed to look like in the days of yore. Thanks.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
That's what a computer desktop background of days of yore was supposed to look like looked like. Nice work, thanks.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Here is one I have made. It is a picture of some isometric cubes.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
How's about a maze?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
To be honest, I think I prefer the weird patterns to these corporate logos. They feel a bit uninspired, the exception being the dolphin for MySQL (which is merely cute).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Solaris wavy line backdrop. This is from a Wikimedia Commons screenshot.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Diamond shaped Sun logo from Web Archives.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
You're right. Dolphins or porpoises they are. https://blogs.oracle.com/chandan/entry/some_one_asked_me_how "Changing a backdrop isn't that intuitive, right click menu does not have a "Change Background.." option, so most users are stuck with dancing dolphins or some low color background on CDE. Some don't even know that they can change the backdrop. There's a screenshot of Solaris with CDE. The backdrop has been changed from a dolphin to a rhino.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
I think they are dolphins. Their tails are like cetaceans not fish.

Who knows when 19th century tapestry or wallpapers are all the rage again.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Yes, this is why I asking. Today, we are not so limited with today hardware like 15-20 years ago. I untestood, that all you want is nostalgie over saming some Mb of memory.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Here's a screenshot of a 32x32 backdrop, transparent. Looks even better than the 48x48.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
I converted that to XBM (X BitMap) and reduced resolution to 48x48. It looks marvellous through a green background.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
That is awesome! I Love it!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Here's one.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper

Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
I am going to install it tonight. Thanks for pointing me there.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Wow, it's great. Thanks.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
I think you could call it OStalgie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostalgie Rather in the sense of harking back to first experiences with computers and GUIs.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Why not to use a normal wallpaper? why to use a retro wallpaper and GUI?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
I made a GNU tiling wallpaper. It was actually quite hard to get it 'just right'. I hope you all like it.

Does GIMP have a nifty image wrapping tool like Photoshop does?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Familiar with these? (the story too is pretty amusing) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_%28desktop_backgrounds%29
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Grimlock Thanks!For making me discover FVWM http://www.fvwm.org/
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Hi grimlok, try this website -> http://www.designfreebies.org/free-vectors/500-free-funky-retro-backgrounds-and-patterns/ If you like the pattern you posted in particular, I think it can be done with GIMP, it may be more difficult than it seems though.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Not even if you stitch it together from different areas of the screenshot that have different areas of the pattern uncovered?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Very Nice indeed! Now we have something really quite original. Thanks for sharing grimlok +100A1
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Yes. It's called Make Seamless. It's in Filters --> Map --> Make Seamless.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Um, copy it out of the screenshot? There seems to be enough in order to re-create it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
This is what I have so far. I may have to make it up from there.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
I tried, there isn't. Thanks though!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Old Fashioned Tiled Wallpaper
Wow, That's really cool! I put them all in my wallpaper folder :-D. Talk about retro. grimlok
