Cool Posters Stuart! Thank you!!
**Humans, members of one great whole,
In creation, one essence, one great soul,
When a single member’s afflicted by pain,
Renders with pain other members to turn,
You, with no compassion for the hurt soul
Can’t claim self human in part or in whole** - Saadi Shirazi

What an excellent idea and overall they look excellent.

I have just one little suggestion to make, and it's only a matter of opinion and personal taste so others may not agree with me -- but I wonder if you could perhaps use a softer stroke around the individual letters and increase the contrast? I'm thinking of a nice glow or something like that.

Quote from: sao
Awesome posters! I wonder, would it be a good idea to put "SOTT.net" or "cassiopaea.org" somewhere on those, and then plaster them in random places around a city? In other words, I think the prayer of the soul could be a great addition to the SOTT flyers. Even if someone doesn't visit the site, they might just like the prayer and decide to say it - which may actually help them way more than any prayer they have been saying thus far!

I'll get round to making versions with the cass and sott website addresses on them. I was thinking of putting them on initially but thought that there was no real reason as they were just meant for members of this site, but yes, they could be used as flyers and any new ideas and additions are welcome. :)

Sure, I'll do a bit more experimentation and see what I can come up with.  :)

Thanks Stuart, the wallpapers are really beautiful! I have just downloaded one, it will be nice waking up  and having it looking at me from my desktop every morning  :)

Something similar occurred to me, seeing the prayer in a sharper colour.

Thanks Stuart!
It's great to have one of these pictures to remind me of our work and this shelter, the place where I can be myself...  :flowers:

Great Job Stuart!

I can think of a way to use them, without forcing them on people. I do computers and when I setup a system I have a wallpaper pack and I can include them for the person without setting them as the desktop background. BTW thanks for the new background! They appear to work/look great on a monitor over 22".

Hi,
     I've slightly updated the wallpapers to make some of the words appear clearer and added the website address of the program:
