    Over the weekend I finished another "on a whim" project: inspired by a desktop picture available at the website of the upcoming movie The Notorious Bettie Page, I've created my own version, "The Notorious Tetsuko"… or as the Japanese might say it, "Uwasa no Tetsuko"! Available in a "cross-platform" design that can be used on either Mac or Windows, in sizes 1600 by 1200, 1280 by 960, and 1024 by 768.

    "Notorious" indeed! I'll definitely be checking out the Bettie Page movie when it comes out. Looks like they may actually get this one right! Got your screensaver on my Mac now. (BTW, you're a Mac user right? How do you make a screensaver for Windows? Do you use a different platform?)

    It's actually just a matter of composing the picture. The Mac OS tends to line up its desktop icons (as you've noticed, BTX) on the right-hand side of the screen, while Windows does so on the left-hand side. So I usually will put any empty (or, at least, less-cluttered) space in the pic on the half of the picture opposite where the icons go. Sometimes it's just the logo that moves (like in this one, the "Mac" version and the "Windows" version), sometimes the entire alignment of the picture changes (like my fav pic, "Mac" and "Windows"). There's no reason the "Mac" version couldn't be used on Windows or vice versa, except that the icons would hide the subject matter.

    And sometimes (like the Dyna pic, and, now, the "Uwasa no Tetsuko" pic) you get a design that works well on either screen (just like the movie desktop that inspired this one).

    Very nice Sir DCM, the only thing missing is having Notorious by Duran Duran playing in the background . . .  😎

    Fantastic work as always. The new layout of your website is quite nifty too.
