View Full Version : "Mac" like Wallpaper

After using nature wallpapers for a while on my desktop my tastes took a slight change. Instead of a mountain picture I wanted one of those abstract alien like wallpapers similar to what you often see on a mac. After finding nothing which was either branded with the apple logo or was just stolen from leopard I decided to make my own.

After multiple efforts (and failures) I finally had one decent enough to use however I want to see what other people think of it. So I will upload it here.

Note: I made these primarily for myself so the most common resolution is 1440x1024


-------------------------------------------
Well I think this is enough (13) So these will be packaged into a nice tar.gz

Probable going to try another style now.

I like it. I love it. I want some more of it. :D

You have it in 1440x900?

Are you putting it under a license? 'Cuz this is good enough to redistribute, methinks.

Well Its midnight here in UK so i will try other resolutions in the morning (too tired now). I might consider licensing it but again to be done tomorrow. Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I understand. Sleep well! I'll just subscribe to this thread so I don't forget.

Some additional colors, like blue, red, and green, might be nice too. You can mull it over as you sleep :D

If you'd like any help, my GIMP is available.

And +1 to jeyaganesh.

It would be nice, if you really want to put the ubuntu logo there, to do it a little smoother.

But I like them! Really like bright wallpapers.

Good Morning, I am now going to try to port this wallpaper to other resolutions, If that fails I'll just make a new one for a different resolution.

Well after 20 mins a new resolution for the same pic always gives the effect there is a line down the middle. So I will try again but in green.

Edit: 5 hours later I have successfully converted the original blue pic to 1440x900 link is below.

walls look good, but the logo looks terrible

To Update I have added two "Alien" wallpapers and converted the original blue to another resolution. After re-considering, all branded wallpapers have been removed because they:
1. Look bad
2. Extra hassle.
