Thanks guys; firebug was installed, but I never used it before! Now I got that I was wasting time without it, I'll try to learn and work more with it, although I'm not a programmer!

As you said you use ubuntu. i was wondering if there was a good package on ubuntu to do this.

It's gimp, a free & powerful app, comparable with property photoshop. gimp is available for all linux-base distros and other OS, as in Microkill Windows.

peregrine said: you did the above image with gimp? if not what package did you use?

Yes, I used Gimp 2.6:

Oops! you're asking for that colorful lines?

Ok, they're drawn by "KolourPaint", which is a weak pkg! equivalent with "Paint" in Windows XP. I use it for fast work! But you can use "Pinta", too.

peregrine said: what and how did you do in Gimp to produce the blue rings around the username box and the about box in the image at the top of the discussion. I know you must know an easy way.

I'm a general Gimp user as much as I'm a normal computer user! Sometimes, I use stupidly ways!

However, I took gimp at that picture for changing its perspective. For rings -> kolourpaint: I drew an ellipse around the box and cleaned un-useful lines! But I'm sure a professional user of gimp can do it so easy.

422 Use photoshop ...

PhotoShop for a home-work? It's really expensive and worse: its source isn't free. you don't have any control on it.

I've always found gimp exceedingly difficult to use.

I installed pinta, gnu paint, kolourpaint, and nathive image editor.

@peregrine, Check this script: http://registry.gimp.org/node/59 (January 3, 2008)

and there is probably better & newer scripts!
