i tried to unzip one of these to the usr/share and i can't get to it. when i go to file manager and input the location (usr/share...) a little red circle with a horizontal white line through it pops up and it wont take me to the location. I've already engaged the "advanced" mod, but how do i get it to prompt me for my root password or whatever so i can unzip the png (i think that is the right file type) to the file...any ideas?

thanks

I noticed two problem when using these wallpapers... the "settings" and "help" buttons on the main desktop are now very hard to see since their color is so dark. Is there a way to change these fonts so they're white or something that will stand out? Secondly, the search bar on the desktop still shows a little of the default gray wallpaper surrounding it. Is there any way to clear that up? Thanks!

Could you make an orange version of the wallpaper?

here you go. sorry if it took a while as I came from a vacation. I'm currently running on XP now so I haven't tested this on A1 Linpus. let me know if it fits.

regarding the search bar, I use this wallpaper without it (disabled) as i don't use it often.
for the help and settings button, i edited their .desktop files and removed the name so it will only show icons and change the icons into something else. i might be posting some png's that could work for different colors but i cannot promise a specific date when (sorry).

here's how mine looks:

you don't have to unzip these. just save them in any folder on your SSD (or SD expansion, eg. My pictures) then right click > settings > desktop (if i remember it correctly) then locate the file.

here's a transparent png file for the search bar for people who find it useful. backup existing search_bar.desktop.png from /usr/share/search-bar/ and replace it with this one. i haven't tested this yet as i don't have the linpus installed on mine. let me know if it works.

i've decided to put the PSD file here so anybody can create their own color scheme (we're promoting Open source anyway.. :) )

download the PSD file @ mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=84df ... 705bb6a8d4
