BTW, where's Pandora-tan? Any OS or platform with respect for itself needs its own manga mascot....

KAWAIIIII! ^_^
And I think one of her characteristics is, that she's always to late. :lol:

 

[Vorporeal]

I always had an issue with that picture. I think it's that she looks too timid - the Pandora is a powerful beast, and she doesn't do a great job of conveying that. The extension-cable hair is awesome though.

Just added a Wandor themed wallpaper, check it out:
http://pandorawalls.dyndns.org/node/32

On that note, I would like to see an option to disable certain image resolutions (the buttons which automatically resize the image), as some images just don't fit certain res (the Wandor art looks just stupid in 1024x768 as half of the character and half of the text is cut off).
If it does not take too much work of course

Apart from that, I really like the page new design

As there are a lot of renders here, and I'm rubbish at drawing I thought that I'd a few photos of my own.

All of the images are 800x600 so feel free to crop them at will.

There are lots more located here:
WorldTripping.net Wallpapers
And various other places around the site.
Like here:
WorldTripping Postcards

Feel free to use / modify / crop / filter etc.

And yes, before anyone asks I am the copyright owner.

Enjoy !

3. Backdrops (Wallpapers) for the Desktop. Those are simply pictures (800x480), ideally they should have a nice Pandora theme.

"Ideally" doesn't mean they have to

Please get those up on PandoraWalls. Please. So I don't forget them.

I'd be intersted in knowing how official this site is - after all, if the OpenPandora team aren't going to pay attention to it then it's yet another login that I don't really need to setup.

Some pics soon, hopefully - have been set back a bit by health (or lack thereof).

 

[borgqueenx]

anyone knows a good freeware app where i can edit my photos on a simple way? i just need to resize them a bit, then cut a 800*480 piece out of it.

It's the official unofficial site

There are many options, but I'd recommend the Gimp. Maybe too complicated for your use, but it can do much more.

Also, online there are PicNik and Pixlr (I'd choose this one). And doubtless many more.

Thanks - I'll try and wrap my head around that anon. Right now I need to go take a lie down.

In the meantime, I'm trying to keep an index of all my images that I consider up-to-date/at useable stage (if push comes to shove) in teh first post at:

http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/50632-wallpaper-wips/page__view__findpost__p__778749

as I have no idea when the "cutoff date" for inclusion might be. Or even what content might make an image worth/not worth including (so I'm just doing stuff that appeals to me, as time permits).

Ta,

Tell me if you like them and if they will be added(or some) to the pandora firmware

EDIT: no one interested really?

You have some really great motifs there, but unfortunately not the best camera and therefore the images lack colour, contrast and some other attributes which would make them great as wallpapers.

I think some might be suitable if worked over with Photoshop (some level and curve adjusting, maybe some detail work with brushes, but we don't want to overcomplex the matter). But sadly, some of them won't shine even with that extra work, take for example the "kittens" image - it looks a bit like looking through old glass (some white/grey fog over the image) and also is slightly out of focus, some other images are just too turbulent (don't know if that's the correct word, it's just "unruhig" in German and 20 different words in English) - they are beautiful to look at for a minute but don't really make a great wallpaper (for example the "They are watching you" image).
But, well this is not deviantArt so I think if you work on some of the images, they could be great wallpapers and for the future if you have fun taking photos I would suggest getting a decent camera, you sure have an eye for good shots

Oh and on that matter, if we also want some landscape or photographs in general as wallpapers I could go through my collection of photos, too (and resize them to fit 800x480).

anyways thanks for the answer.
I love taking photos, but only with a gadget i love; my iphone 3gs.

Script if you ever find the need to mass-resize images again:

#!/bin/sh
extension=png
for file in `find . -name "*.$extension"`
do
    convert $file -adaptive-resize 800x480 ${file%.$extension}.resized.$extension
done

This will take all images in a directory and sub-directories and resize them to 800x480. Exchange "png" for "jpg" or whatever if you have other image types.

Oh, and you need the package "imagemagick" (called something different in every distro)

that will fuck up photos??? if a photo is for example 1000*1000 and you make it 800*480 its gonna be all stretched out.
I cutted off a piece with good old paint.

In case you are working on a Windows machine (and I assume that as you said you used Paint), just go and get IrfanView.
It's free and has a lot of features, while not being too complex.
It can't do any great photo manipulation, but is great for viewing, resizing and stuff like that.

Oh and it can do batch conversion and resizing too (with a pretty GUI).

for a quick fix just stick your images into gimp or photoshop then sharpen it and increase the contrast, you will see it looks a lot better, then you can richen up the colour a little, cheap cameras with small lenses are always lacking, but once you have found what you need to do to correct them you can get consistently better results by having the corrections as a script/automation/macro/whatever, that or buy a decent camera with a good lens, fuji do some nice ones that get placed well in photographic competitions (finepix range is affordable), read a few camera site reviews, small lenses are generally bad (poor light, poor focus, distortion, blooming etc), high value CCDs are a waste of time on a phone tbh, even the Iphones 2MP is wasted with the poor lens (plus the CCD isn`t that good by all accounts).
