One question, who won the July's Desktop award ???

[goobimama]

No award beta. Just official threads. Although we should have some kind of cheap award which no one wants. What say?

[iMav]

^^ They select a desky and publish it in the mag if I am not wrong. They have a monthly desktop column in the mag, whether they select one from here or no, that's something only Raaabo can answer.

[goobimama]

Hmm. I was thinking more on the lines on a Tiger biscuit packet or something but I guess that sounds cooler

[/stops spamming the desktop thread]

I'll have mine ready by day after.

Nice theme. Only if you could use some other desktop.

[Cool Joe]

@goobi- can i have the wallpaper plz?

[iMav]

@Goobi, a tut on how to get text effect please.

[goobimama]

Here you go:


As for the text effect, not sure what I did. Some kind of filter from the filter gallery, and then used a blending mode (Multiply I think). Then brushed over it a bit (just a bit) using one of them bristly brushes. But the effect is mainly cause of the blending mode.
