SPLASHSCREENS FOR KDE (infos and installation notes)
All pictures used for the Splash Screens are pictures taken by me. All icons used in the loading bar come from the beautiful Nuvola iconset, made by David Vignoni (find it here). These icons are excelent, and make the SplashScreen more coherent with the rest of the desktopo if you use the Nuvola Theme. The links point to a gzipped archive: after uncompressing you will have to copy the resulting folder into /home/.../.kde/share/apps/ksplash/Themes/ or /usr/share/apps/ksplash/Themes/ (This is where KDE stores the splashscreen images). Then run the KDE Control Center for a preview and to apply the new splash screen. The directory will contain a Theme.rc file. If something doesn't work, be sure that the name of the [KSplash Theme: SplashName] in the first line matches the name of the directory (it's case sensitive).

yangshuo, china

I took this picture in Yangshuo, China. This is a wonderful place, incredible mountains, splendid nature and water everywhere. Farmers grow rice here. It's very peaceful and relaxing. This Splash Screen for KDE matches some of the Wallpapers I made with other pictures from Yangsuo. Just check here if you like.

shanghai, china

If you compare this picture with the one above you will have a clue about what it means "contrast between oppsites". In China you will find the largest and calm country and the biggest an chaotic cities. This is the incredible Shanghai. And I can say nothing else: incerdible, incredible, incredible. Go there and enjoy the many faces of this city.

This an original cosmonaut helmet from the USSR (CCCP) space suit. I took this picture at an exhibition showing some vintage '60 stuff: arts, books, militaria, consumer elctronics etc. I used an old russian rangefinder camera do snap it (check the FED5 here). This picture is also a wallpaper: check here if you like.
