I toyed around with Inkscape a bit and found it works best on Artistic or cartoon like images, so there's a heads up if you need it.

Of course anyone with knowledge of how vector images work would understand why this is true.

Hi-res

Thought the background was pretty neat. I got it off DA, though it's hard to find good dual-screen walls in general.

edit. Heh, excuse the messy icons

Also, the 5 Centimeters per Second desktop absolutely wins.

Short answer: Shading = death on a stick.

Long answer: Vectors use mathematical algorithms to calculate angles, lines, curves, and the like. When you have photographic levels of detail and/or (especially) heavy shading or gradients, it takes a TON of CPU power to calculate that mathematically. These things are easier to do in bitmapped graphics (.jpg, .png) because it's just a grid of coloured pixels.

Now tell me all about your pain, down to the details.

I finally have ALL my programs and everything installed on Vista. Everything that I could do in XP I can do on Vista. I've had no issues at all. All my various media, all my creation software, utilites, everything. It's all awesome. I even played Oblivion which worked great thanks to my new geforce 8800 gtx.

So here's a snapshot of my machine running Vista Ultimate. 2nd desktop is for my HDTV.

Is that a new Shinkai movie or is it possible that it's from Voices of a Distant Star?

My desktop. Haven't posted in this thread for a while.

I love this wallpaper. Very peaceful.

I've switched my wallpaper around a bit, but finally found one I can stick with for awhile.



it replaced my ARMY OF NYORO~N, but I like it. I always try to keep my desktop clean, and as such my start menu is a complete mess. but I still know where everything I need is in it.

Could do with a new windows theme though :/

I think he means the original desktop image. That one has some desktop icons and winamp on it.
