I dabble in HTML as well. That'd be a piece of cake. I just need someone to
compile a list of people who helped out, and someone to write the text with
the start information (I hate writing in English).

Yeah, well. I'm thinking of a modified Konqui with subtle (or blaring)
amaroK aspects. I can't recall at the moment what ideas I had for 3 and 5.

As far as wallpaper, the images I have are mostly of military grade planes
(I'm joining the USMC when I finish school btw.) With a lighter area at the
bottom/top with "Fast Forward" on the right (with the >> sign for the O) and
on the left is the basic amaroK text (with the wolf for the O), and the
numbers 1.4.1 to the immediate right of this. I was hoping to have one of
these used for the release pic for 1.4.1. However, since you said "relaxing"
I'm not entirely sure fighter jets is what we are looking for :)  . I can
whip up something else if anyone has any ideas. I've already got a
transparent amaroK logo on hand. (I think anyways, I can make one no
problem, just a matter of utilizing the eraser on 75% percent :P). I also
need to know what font was used... anyone know?

As far as music... I already made that post about recording stuff. But if we
want music that we didn't make, all I can think of right now is Nirvana...
maybe Creed. And definately some oldies. The way I see it, those are good
rock bands. (I can come up with a trillion more suggestions in an instant if
we want, I listen to alot of music, and I live with a huge musicall
enthusiast.)

That's it for now. (like my short novel? lol).
