Making KDE look good
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” goes the old saying. What looks great to me, might not be very appealing to you. Most GNU/Linux distributions pick default images that are bland, inoffensive, and boring, all of which have their place, but we can do better. This article will look at making your GNU/Linux machine look beautiful.
Wallpaper
Screen wallpaper is one of those things we tend not to think about; the screen which gets quickly hidden with the “real” stuff: the web browsers, word processors and other actual applications. Improving it will really improve our computer image.
Wallpaper is a place where we can easily let our digital images shine.
Alternatively this is a place where we can raid sources that are normally useless to GNU/Linux users, like some Microsoft Windows or Macintosh oriented websites. When it comes to images all our GNU/Linux machines care about is that we offer a .jpg.
Splash Screen
Just after you log in to your computer, but before you get the KDE main desktop screen you will see for a few moments what is known as the splash screen. Some splash screens give information that GNU/Linux experts can use to help diagnose problems, but the main job of the splash screen is to tell people to wait.
