Well I disagree with your legal interpretation but I removed it anyway.

Given that it's a photograph of just a portion of the art, it's not being sold, and the "potential market" for Tempest cabinets is basically zero (Atari doesn't even really exist anymore), Fair Use is easily applicable. Which means I'm within my rights to put the photo online and provide it here in a format for people to use as a background on their GCW.

It's not really a problem normally, but in this particular thread the OP specified the licenses of them.

Well since I can't program, I wanted to do something for the Zero, so here are some pictures I took that others may wish to use as wallpaper. I took all the pictures, I release them into the public domain and no, the picture labelled eddie is not a Jackson Pollock painting but a picture of an original in my possession with no copyright.

Given the small size of the screen and all the icons, I think a textured colour scheme is the way to go but sometimes you just want to have a picture of some cinnamon buns as your wallpaper - they were delicious in case you're wondering

Here are some screenshots:

I have a weird problem, when I FTP into my zero, I can't locate the:

/data/local/home/.gmenu2x/skins/Default/wallpapers

...folder. It's there in my zero when I choose a wallpaper, but when I try to add more through my FTP program, the folder isn't there...

This is what happened to me.

I'm using Filezilla and as someone in IRC was kind enough to point out, I couldn't see the folder because I didn't select the option to display hidden folders. In Filezilla go the Server on the top of the menu and select "Force showing hidden files" and boom, all the folders with periods in front of them are visible.

The directory for the wallpapers still wasn't there but I created it, put my images there and all was good.

What stumped me was why I couldn't see the default images that came with the Zero but as pcercuei pointed out in this thread http://boards.dingoonity.org/gcw-help/wallpaper-directory-doesn%27t-seem-to-exist/ , they're built into the rootfs.

Your photographs might also be nice for patterns. Good work.

Thought I'd resize my laptop background to GCW0 format.

I took/made some more pictures for use as wallpaper. I release them into the Public Domain to run free and not be shackled by forgotten words and bonds and the ink stains that have dried upon some line. Erm.

The circuit/motherboard pics come from my old 486 that served me faithfully until last December when I retired it.
