Miscellaneous Wallpaper - Background image

[saxyjt]

I have been playing around with my new toy, an iMac 27 from late 2013 that I optimized adding 16Gb of RAM to bring it to 32Gb, and I thought about using some Jazz covers images I collected from the Blue Note website some time ago to create a mosaic that I combined with another montage I did using one of the most emblematic photos of Dexter Gordon, that I had merged with another image of Billie Holiday in his smoke!

This is my new background image. What's yours

It's a fine image - to noisy for me, my background is black - or dark grey if I'm in a good mood.

I agree. It's too much. Some fine tuning is required to make it more digestible... 😛

This one's mine. A picture I took of the moon. My icons go on the inky black sky so it's good to use. I have dual monitors with the same image on both. From memory, I think I took this with a Canon 6d DSLR mounted to a refractor telescope.

What's actually funny is that I like to have a background image that reflects something from my state of mind or things I like. But to be honest, I rarely see it as my screens are always very busy, even when I use three simultaneously.

I had some hopes to use my iMac screen as my third screen to replace the 24' screen I used momentarily, but the target screen mode I read about is only available in some very specific circumstances using very specific versions of macOs that are now obsolete anyways, so there's no chance.

What's really bothering me right now with this iMac running Ubuntu is that I can't get to make the output jack to work. No sound from plugged in headsets or anything connected through the jack port. It does work when booting macOs, but that is not my goal. I have sound from the internal speakers or Bluetooth... I'm sure that I'll get it to work sooner or later but that's a bit of a pain.

The joys of Linux and the reason why it's not so widely adopted.

It took me a moment...
... But even more so with that image on two monitors

So is it a Spot the Wife competition?

 

[Colin the Bear]

No. Spot's the dog.
