May Schedule Wallpaper - Shiny Rounded Squares, Anyone?

Star-divide

So to those of you who voted in my poll, thank you for your input.  I decided to go with d) none of the above, which surprisingly no one voted for.  But it just felt right, you know?

The calendar has been overhauled, and I think it's the best calendar-type-thing to date - very simple and easy to read (and SO much easier to update than those damned boxes in the April calendar).  The major problem this month was trying to figure out what to do with the calendar boxes once I had made them.  No background worked, and every picture seemed awkward.  I was running out of time, so I opted for the good old standby of Coors Field.  However, then I ran into the problem of how busy the background image was - no one was going to be able to find their icons in that mess.  So I added a black frame to the image, and I think it really helped the overall wallpaper.  You'll notice some extra black space at the bottom - I did that to accomodate for the Windows Taskbar, so that the frame is balanced :) .  Mac users shouldn't have much trouble with their dock.  However, if you're one of the weirdos that puts their taskbar at the top of the screen...I've got bad news for you...

TL;DR: the frame on this wallpaper is normal - it gives you space for your icons.  Make sure your background setting is set to "Stretch".

As always, they'll take a while to download, so please be patient.  And please give some feedback!  Do you like how the new calendar looks?  What should I make better/get rid of for June?

And, of course, Go Rockies!

Great job as always!

I love the PurpleRow log on the big screen. Maybe next time you do a Coors Field background you can put some of the more proliffic posters avatars up in place of the cnter field ads.

That's actually

one of the best ideas ever.

It is

Mine would be a bit redundant, however.

I know I was your first choice, and all.
