Inspired by a feature request in our forums, and because it was interesting to implement, you can now use a 'signature image' of your PC details and username.

Here's an example of mine:

It will set the background icon to the distribution you have selected, cool eh! If no distribution has been selected, it will use the traditional tux icon. Although I need a bigger version of tux which I will sort out soon. I might use the design Cheese made for that one.

It will only work if your PC info is set to public, I've made sure of that for the people who don't want theirs public for whatever reason.

You can find the information for it on the refreshed PC Info page on your User Control Panel.

This is a first attempt, feedback is welcome to help improve it. I am thinking to remove the "64bit" part, since nearly everyone uses that on Linux now for gaming, and the space could probably be better used for the desktop environment.

I've seen a few different signature images over the years and they seem like a popular thing to use on forums in your signatures, so I am happy to give you the chance to use one and show off a bit.

I guess I should allow forum signatures on GOL sometime, do people want forum signatures here? Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
