What
Being a sucker for tiled wallpapers I ventured to the source of Common Desktop Environment to bring you these:
I converted the (x)pm and (x)bm files from CDE's source with ImageMagick's convert to pngs. The source files and png output can be found here: http://u.teknik.io/AbsFLp.gz
However, I wasn't expecting those images to be mostly black and white, so I wrote a simple script that does the following:
- asks to pick an image
- asks if you want it to be inverted
- asks if you want to tint it
- sets as background with hsetroot
The script is available here: http://gist.github.com/97-109-107/c5de7bfe8f83570593a5 - I opted for putting it there because I find revision tracking there more convenient.
Sample result:
Question:
If you compare the file I converted with IM called Toronto with the following screenshot:
You will notice that all the files that IM had generated are inverted (and black and white). My question is - is it probable that the backdrop utility in CDE colors and inverts the bitmaps runtime? If yes, was disk space the cause?
