    Can someone find or make this wallpaper?

    This is a picture of a girl with not so much clothes on, holding a burning card with the windows logo.

    This is the original.

    I would like to see this as a wallpaper. But not the original, the Ubuntu vs Windows version. Problem is, the picture i found is too low resolution to use as a wallpaper. So does anyone know where i can find a wallpaper with this, or maybe even put down the time it takes to make one? Thanks.
    Just trying to help...

    Why don't you just cut the woman out and put her on a new background, there are some nice clean edges so it should not be difficult. You can use a mask for that or use the path tool in gimp. I would go for the mask though, you can get all the detail of the strands of hair. You can use the path tool around the card though once you get the woman on the new background, convert the path to a selection and fill it with a gradient, then put the windows logo on top. You just pick the colours from the original card, which is white and gray and then apply that gradient. It won't take long at all, the trickiest part is getting a good mask in the first place, all the rest is straight forward.

    I would assume the Original message is copyrighted!
    It's a nice idea though.

    Ooh, very nice! And I got a private message with a different version also, so now I even have two to chose from.

    This one has a more subtle logo though, which I like a lot, so thank you very much. This is a perfect wallpaper for my laptop, showing off a bit of Beryl and other stuff as well.

    Use burning windows in Beryl, it will look great!
