I made this God-awful theme today which happens to be a retarded lovechild of my bank's iPhone app and my Macchiato theme.

Here's the inspiration:

Ubuntu

And, unfortunately, the theme is not available for download. If this were to become a full theme, I'd have to work on it a whole lot more.

I changed to another wallpaper. I dunno who she is but I'm sure she has many good qualities and is a great human being.

Nothing special here. I've only just gotten myself to use backgrounds at all again, for a few years I'd stuck to a nice dark grey. :wink:

Eh, I use one of two backgrounds. The cake was my reward from the end of my copy of Portal.

The tree one..

TREE

I don't know what I was thinking about it, I drew it over three years ago and was able to get it scanned, which is good, because the original has faded horribly. I would totally print it and hang it on my walls if I could take out the blue lines and wee imperfections..

That would be a trivial task with Photoshop. If a get a couple hours free this week, i'd be happy to give it a go, if you like. Not sure what 'wee imperfections' you are referring to, but, the lines are easily removable, i'd say.

I'm out of town until monday, and only have my iPad with me, but, so i can't do anything with it until Monday at the earliest, but i have done a bit of photo restoration, so, removing the paper lines and the creases from that image should be a relatively simple job.

:D that would be fantastic, as I don't own a copy of Photoshop, and don't want to pirate something so big owned by such a big corporation with lawyers. No rush or anything, so take your time.

Just wanted to toss a quick preview up for you. I'm about a third of the way through de-lining your drawing. I've been slowly tipping away at it in my spare time, and i figure on it being done later this week.
