AWESOME Desktop OS

I have no idea what your talking about (Linux and Gimp) But that is excatly what I am trying to achive here with the transparency effect.

To bad we live so far from each other. I'd really like to take ya out for a drink and have you explain it to me.

Don't need to get me drunk to spill my beans

gimp is a photoshop program in Linux. First time I tried to save a file in it I got a 10x30 solid green pic. Had to start all over again

Linux is to windows as Ferrari is to ford. Take windows, remove all the bugs, make it more secure, give it better options and stability and you have Linux in a nutshell

Is that like a wallpaper so it makes it look like you can see through it? Or is it really see thru?

LOL It's a photo of the monitor and another of the behind the comp view, with monitor removed, and then pasted onto the screen. Pretty neat though, eh?
