Fantastic Idea

Brilliant!
Thanks very much for this simple but great gesture!
Well done LXF Towers.
Could you do them in 16:9
Anonymous Penguin (not verified) - April 5, 2009 @ 6:11pm
Could you do them in 16:9 too, my monitor is that Ratio (Sammy 2343nw)
16:9 and an odd resolution
happyfeet (not verified) - April 6, 2009 @ 3:28pm
That Samsung monitor has a pretty weird resolution too - 2048x1152
awesome

i saw a link to this on boycottnovell.com (which has THE best Free Software links of any site) and Im not a huge wallpaper guy because I have a ton of nice KDE ones but I figured Id give it a look...
Wow. And in both screen formats too.
Great publicity as well.
Never visited tuxradar or linux format before but it looks interesting..
Good to see! :)

Hi guys - it's really nice to see that you've put up this page, as you frequently have nice cover artwork on the magazine!
I'm afraid I don't use either Identi.ca or Twitter, though - would it be ok to make a request here, instead? If so, is there any chance you could put up the cover artwork from either the Christmas 2008 issue (the one with the "Build your own distro" cover), or the April 2009 one (with the "Fix Linux" cover)? :)
Thanks very much, both for setting up this page, and for a great publication in general.

We've uploaded the two covers you requested, plus a sneak preview of the cover from LXF119 - it's not on sale yet, but we think it's particularly nice :)
wonderful

I was just wishing for this as I wanted to use the lxf117 image to have a skin made for my Asus Eee. Since people always notice my netbook, I thought I would promote Linux this way.
Thank you!

I enjoyed the Fix Linux cover, the penguin with the hood open. It is now my backdrop at work where I am forced to work with XP. Looks great!
Tux! I love him!

Thankyou so much for uploading these, guys. You've made my week. :D
Nice Wallpapers.....
Anonymous Penguin (not verified) - April 28, 2009 @ 2:05am
Is there any chance these wallpapers (and future ones) will be condensed to smaller screen resolutions (1024 X 768, 1280 X 1024, 1440 X 900)?
Resize? DIY!
Michael (not verified) - May 7, 2009 @ 5:43pm
Folks, why ask others to do for you what you can do for yourself? ImageMagick's "convert" command and GIMP's "Scale Image" will do the trick.
Twitter background
Anonymous Penguin (not verified) - May 26, 2009 @ 9:47am
I was looking for a background for my twitter page & unfortunately all of the above are fantastic for my desktop but they are too large for twitter (no larger than 800k.

Any chance of you supplying these great wallpapers in 1680 x 1050 resolution? Thanks.
GRRREAT!!
Tuxedo (not verified) - July 16, 2009 @ 12:24pm
Me like!! I have had compliments at work for the LXF 'Open Hood' wallpaper that I sported. That wallpaper is now replaced with Tux smashing through what seems to be an MS logo (lxf122). Anyway, great wallpapers again!
Awesome!
TomMan - July 17, 2009 @ 6:19pm
Awesome wallpapers, I have set a slideshow in plasma to flip through them all!
Netbook wallpaper cropped and resized to 1024x600
Muzer - July 17, 2009 @ 7:49pm
Fits most netbooks.
You're welcome to reupload it and stick it in the blog post, no need to credit me (it's only a crop and resize ;p)

Any more people too lazy to use gwenview want to request a crop/resize to a specific resolution of any of the images?
Thank You
Anonymous Penguin (not verified) - July 22, 2009 @ 2:40am
Awesome. Linux rules for sure. Goodbye Microsoft.
Thanks!

I love that last wallpaper, fits my M$ desktop well :P.
Plus the one with the light bulb, fits Ubuntu's brown :P.
Wonderful Stuff!

The wallapers are great! I use them with desktop drapes and they are amazing. My favourite is the fix linux one. Can you do the lxf 108 mag wallpaper. i am asking here a i dont have twitter or identica
thanx
jamesmtechy (not verified) - September 18, 2009 @ 4:27am
thanks alot for these images you could also try grapbing some more pics from " http://www.desktopnexus.com " this website has tones of images for all sorts of categorys and alot of linux based images too. it also does a amazing thing when you enlarge the image it auto detects the size of your screen and optimises the image to the size of your screen. [linux is a sub category of technology]
awesome, i like the last one

KenJackson - September 28, 2009 @ 10:07am
at work. I can't put Linux on it, but I can at least make a statement.
I recommend windows ... For kind < 3yrs...
Suni (not verified) - November 9, 2009 @ 10:03am
I support windows.. If and only if it is pirated. :):)
Windows users please grow faster to Linux :):)

Would be great to have some widescreen resolutions too. Like 1680X1050
Otherwise good wallpapers!

Just great!
Thank you
Anonymous Penguin (not verified) - January 7, 2010 @ 6:46pm
really beautiful
@ The guys who want 1680*1050
JR - January 8, 2010 @ 2:20pm
As 1680*1050 and 1900*1200 are both 19:10 scale, you should just be able to use the provided widescreen wallpapers.
Added info: 1600*1200 is 4:3, so can be used for 1024*768, 1280*1024 etc
