Did someone change the size of my desktop pic? if so how -I tried but unsuccesfully.

ps Installed firefox, seems quicker at loading pages plus it's got a spellchecker so no excuses now!

I used to use drempels for some psychdelic desktop goodness

That's similar to Electric Sheep (mac/pc), used on my other powerbook.

(nothing to do with sheep , fractal like screensavers that "evolve")

If you look at the forums, it can take up to 2-3 days (yes that's DAYS) before enough "sheep" are downloaded and it gets going.
It's the only downside...but after this, everything runs really smoothly.

From the wiki:
Quote:
The sheep server is overloaded by all its users. It takes a long time to download sheep. Please be patient. Let it run overnight. If you have a laptop make sure the power saving settings are not turning off the screen-saver.
Quicker Way: go to the "current flock" / the best of the current flock over here.
Manually download 5 or 6 sheep and save them to the cache directory (see wiki link below).

It's enough to get you started and, after the w/e, you'll have your own evolving flock

Read this FAQ ..... answers all q's very well.

I gave up the first time I tried it 'cos i was sso frustrated with not figuring out what was going on (ie the server lag). The second time (about 4 months later), I did as above and everything went fine. Well worth it imho (looks faantastic and is free)

Took a while but it did eventually start going, its nice but would be better if you could use it as a wallpaper as well as a screensaver.
Also its quite low resolution it would seem :(
