I decided to try muckin about in the icon folder.

This is the banner screen w/ progress bar (at about 80% completion):

I tried making a full sized 800X480 screen but it took forever to load and had some unexpected complications. So I basically just edited the default jpg. I recolored the progress bar to yellow and rounded the ends.

This the splash screen:

hehe an N800 owner in a sea of WinCE/palm/WiMo sufferers.

and my desktop:

I decided to use the same image so that the transition is seamless from the splash. I changed the taskbar icons to some random ones I found. I have changed them to another set but went back. The weird thing is that it takes a dozen reboots for the taskbar icons to show up. And it's not consistant. I have rebooted several times all weekend and my new icons still haven't showed up.

If I find some decent system icons or a set of a good Photoshop filters I might do a full icon makeover and maybe a theme.

BoredOOMM, that's a screen capture from Xaos. (search on "Xaos fractal." Runs on almost anything....)

I'm thinking the penguin is too big. I'm probably going to shrink him down some to make him less obnoxious.

@imhavoc:

Oh man, sentences that follow the formula "x in your hand(s)" beg replies like:

"Are you sure that's Linux in your hand?"
"Linux, eh? Is that what you call it?"
"You be careful where you put that penguin!"

...etc...

Yeah, I know, Maemo uses the same formula...
