Dell computers in general SUCK, their computers over heat and they
all can burst into flames. Dell rips the consumers off with their
pricing and selling equipment that has bad components in them.
they were in the news last year about their components beeing bad
in all their computers. Their customer servise is bad and
if you upgrade or change anything on their computers your warrenty is VOID.

WRT having to use a PNG image as a background, have you gone in to the Beryl-Manager, in to the Image Format section and enabled Jpeg? You’d probably be able to hugely reduce the size of the images if you could convert to Jpeg.
I’m actually running the Compiz Fusion at the moment rather than Beryl (much more stable than my original Beryl install, and Fusion has pretty much all of the Beryl plugins plus a few more) and I know I definitely had to enable Jpeg as only Png was enabled by default.
As for sizes, my guess would be that it has to be powers of two. I’ve done texture work in games (Dawn of War, to be specific) and they use powers of two (normally 512×512) for their textures because that’s what the graphics card works with. It’d explain the 4096×1024 as well.

Where did you get the nice autumn-leaves texture? (I suppose it’s the Snow plugin you’re using there) Could you email it to me please?
Thanks

Quite an amazing array of desktop fun. What’s the point though? Well I guess it would be of better help since the human mind works better in a 3 dimensional space. So all those extra desktops depicted by a cube do have a productive function.
The cool effects? Well they make it easier to compute, or maybe even help be productive, if only a little. Plus most people customize their desktop with all sorts of things. Otherwise we’d still be on black screen terminals, which are way more productive. Anyway all of these amazing effects and plugins look like they’re rendered flawlessy, without trying to kill the graphics card. It seems to use Linux’s superior resource utilization which gives it its fantastic efficiency.
Of course many people seem to think Vista is pretty looking. All it is is a new skin and some sloppy rendering techniques. Which, by the way, use way too many resources to even be justified. If only there was a way to distriubute Linux and these cool looking fx for everyone to see. Hmmmm………

John White: The blowing leaves effect is an experimental plugin for Beryl (the last time I checked). You must to download it separately and enable it. I think the plugin is called Snow within Beryl Manager under the Plugins Settings. Within the Snow settings you have a dozen or so textures to use but most of them are snowflakes. The YouTube video I embedded at the top of this page shows the Snow plugin using a flower texture and also a leaf texture. I would guess that the creator of this video, BastionPL (see link next to video above), created the leaf texture himself as it wasn’t a default texture.
