I don't know... A little too much?
WAAAGH! I was making my beautiful wallpaper, put my PC to watch john stuart...
woke my computer up, went to gimp... i cannot click anything. Moving my mouse results in the moving of the image on screen. The mouse pointer shows up as a four-directional black arrow, that looks kinda like the "move item" button in the toolbox. Gimp is quite clearly glitching out. However... i never saved... any ideas?
this is what i have now... but i cannot do anything else to it...

what's it say in the background?
Wow, some top-notch work here - you seem to be better at this than I am!
@Legio: Very good, I was surprised when I checked the contents. Although I'd try working with shadows and such a little, your wallpapers are a bit plain even if they are rather good-looking. Maybe you should lower the opacity of the patterns a bit? Say, to 40 %.
@edse: Wow, great work - the second one is awesome! The colours and shapes fit each other very well, absolutely stunning work! The first one reminds me of a cave painting, though (may be the bump map - you've set it rather deep).
@Soarin': Neat. I think you shouldn't bump map the background with those patterns in the middle, though - try adding just a drop shadow around them or something. The edges of your wallpaper are quite nice.
I would perhaps take the vegetation patterns away from the down middle part of the wallpaper, and make the corners asymmetrical.Originally Posted by Soarin'
@Willowran: What you have there looks absolutely wonderful at least in low resolution as it now appears.
I've never encountered this kind of a problem, so no, I don't have any ideas on it. Maybe our IT pros (Squid and Bolk, perhaps?) can cast light on this mystery. If I was you I would've made sure none of the keyboard buttons had stuck down. That can cause seemingly weird things at times.Originally Posted by Willowran
I can pass you upon what I saw in your screenshot but I'd suggest starting from the beginning and then sharing it with others! Also, that should be easier now as your screenshot pretty much tells what you had done before your PC went mad.
@Kameraden: Great, the yellow colour is very nice and, I can see, you've used some very nice brushes. As I said, great!
I think I know that...Originally Posted by Willowran
Great work - I wish the rest of the students can reach just as good results as well!

Hey, just a question. In which folder do I extract my new textures? Cant seem to find it in the gimp folder....
@Maximinus Thrax: Good. The result is quite personal but I like it. The stripes fit your wallpaper quite well also. You may consider making the pattern on the right black and keep it partially transparent. That may improve the wallpaper - maybe.
GIMP hasn't a texture library or such. You'll have to save your textures just the way you save any image. When you need your texture just open it in GIMP and copy-paste it to the other window (in which you have the thing you need the texture for - in this case your wallpaper, naturally).Originally Posted by The Norseman
For example I have a folder ".../.../user/.../Workshop/Resource Library/Textures" where I save my textures, although my texture collection is quite narrow - just something around fifteen textures there. I'm lazy at collecting them; whenever I need one I search it on Google.

Doing this kind of brush painting is a lot easier in GIMP 2.8 which allows you to rotate brushes, but it's possible (yet a lot more difficult) to apply rotated brushes in earlier versions of GIMP as well. However this requires that you first paint and then rotate the layer itself by using the Rotate tool.
Not through any lack of skill, but just lack of...abstract, here it is:
