Hi all-- how do you post screenshots? Attaching the file doesn’t work for me, as the png is too large. Totally a noob quesiton, I know!

Thanks.

Alot of the members are using free image hosting sites to post their screenshots up. Just do a Google search and youll find plenty of free image hosting sites. Than just link to them here on the forms with the tag.

Thanks Penel and caf4926, it was easier than I thought… Maybe I’m just lazy tonight!

Thanks, but sadly it’s a fake :(.

I was playing with a screenshot in GIMP when the idea of perspective capable plasmoids occurred to me.

I thought it was a really neat idea, and to try and fire a developers imagination I decided to post it on the forum.

It would certainly put KDE4 way ahead of any Microsoft offerings, and break the “look, I can do that too” cycle that keeps us a step behind.

I’m not a programmer, so I have no chance of doing it myself, but surely it could be done.

Regards :).

I’m sure thats something for the Brainstorm section on KDE-Look: Eyecandy for your KDE-Desktop - KDE-Look.org
Please submit it and I’ll vote for it!

There you go Strahlex.

I tried to upload a screenshot, but it didn’t seem to work. I’m useless at those type of things :(.

But the download button works :).

I love that wallpaper, Conram. rotfl! Those eyes are priceless!

Thanks, first time I saw it, I was hypnotized.

At growbag very nice screenshot. Wish it’s for real. Wish to see it can be done in the future releases, I might switch to kde 4.X

[growbag]

Thanks conram, I know it’s just eyecandy, but I think it really could bring a desktop to life.

I’ve always thought that seeing flat icons and things on a desktop looked a bit odd, especially when one has a wallpaper with depth, as in the screenshot.

I started a page on kdelook.org as Strahlex suggested, and have so far had a lot of positive response to it.

Who knows, miracles sometimes happen ;).

There’s a program in Vista that let’s you do something similar to that. It’s called BumpTop. It’s almost like the inside of a desktop cube. You can put files on the three walls you see or you can stack them on top of each other and all sorts of crazy things.

BumpTop

It’s only for windows right now but you can opt to sign up to show interest in a port for linux down at the bottom right corner.

I think growbag’s screenshot is different coz the images followed the left and right vanishing points of a two point perspective. The effect is very natural.
What I had noticed in your link is it looks to me as an isometric projection or maybe a little bit of an aerial one point perspective view.
