Description: A nice Dual Head Screenshot. I still use the original KDE Colors, as they are quite nice. The Window Decoration is ModSystem without the resize handle and customized button placement. I use TaeX for transparency, as it has much nicer buttons (I love square style moch more than this fluffy round ones in liquid). Background comes from the awesome digitalblasphemy collection.
it's an Athlon XP 1600+
but still, X sucks so much, as it uses 90% of my RAM here at work ... at home I have a bit more ~612MB but X runs with less ... might be the Xinerama that needs so much RAM ...
I have a small question for you about dual-head displays. How does it handle wallpapers?
I've never used a dual-head, so I don't know how it works, but my thihnking is if you have a "normal" sized jpg, png, bmp, whatever, and you tell it to scale to your desktop, it gets stretched like crazy, right?
I'm just curious how you work around that, assuming my logic is correct of course...
Thanx man.
Well, in KDE you can say how u want it. I always say "Tiled" then he puts the wallpapers next to each other (if they have the right size). And if I have a DH wallpaper eg 3200x1200, then it looks perfekt too.

your settings, if Xinerama is on then you have to tile your wallpaper or you use gimp or such gfx programm to resize/strech/... the picture. Rufinus
