You must have a massive resolution, eye-scouringly bright monitor

Oh sorry

Sticky, it looks fine to me. ( I do however have two 21" cad monitors )

Edit:// and I did have it in mind as a desktop wallpaper and I always subconsciously make them dark as I prefer the icons on a dark background.

No not at all.

Heh, all I meant is that it's dark and the resolution is a bit iffy in places.

Especially on the moon. That might just be the fault of the source image though. Try this one, it's nice and crisp and already bigger than than the one you've used. :)

_{Personally, I don't mind what shade my desktop is, so long as it's not too "busy".}

Ah, I see what you mean.

I used a very hi res moon image but it was so sharp it looked ridiculous. There is a fair amount of blur purposely added and some fade.
It was meant to have a surreal look to it ( and it only got the moon at the last minute, I was going to shop an alien planet.

Hm. I think perhaps it looking ridiculous is more to do with it needing to fit in

If you look at our moon, it tends to look crisp, but it glows quite brightly, especially when it's that big. That makes the clouds around it a sort of off-white grey. What you've done is make the clouds colour affect the moon, rather than the other way round.

I agree.

And I don't like it that much but at least I'm comfortable that I never set out to paint a photo-realistic scene, if I had then that would never have been posted and I'd have painted the buildings. Perhaps I was getting post-lack fever and just rustled some crap up quick as a fix.

Pfft

I can certainly understand that

(0800221155 Coldseal windows, Sun 27 May 2007, 13:21, archived)

I'm on a 23inch monitor

at 1680 x 1050, and it looks lully from here. Good job.
