Wallpaper Worthy of Your Desktop?

[GTaudiophile]

After browsing through ALL the wallpaper at Deskmod.com and then seeing this PIC at MSNBC.com, I was inspired to spend a few minutes in PhotoShop and made this 1152x864 wallpaper.

What do you all think? Too simple? I'm sure there are many here who could do better...

that's a neat picture, but not as wallpaper

I like it. I might look into blending the edges of the photo into the wallpaper just a little bit to take away a little of the sharpness. I like it, though.

too busy to be a wallpaper.

I dunno. The original image just seemed almost sureal, so rather then religate it to a folder on my harddrive, I tried to put it into something that would work on my desktop. Oh well.

as a non suporter of the way the war was executed no i would not have it as a wall paper. but as an artist i think it visualy is only about 1 over par for my desktop

eh, solid black works for me, I haven't seen my desktop in ages.

Very nice. Using it now.

the pic kinda stands out from the blurred bg a bit too much for a desktop background...cool idea though, fiddle with it a bit and keep updating here

Thanks to BunLengthHotDog, I grabbed this cool sniper image for mine. 😎

 

[GTaudiophile]

I'll play with it some more in a little while...keep the comments coming.

Great graphic, but typography ruins wallpapers.

 

[Ornery]

Bah, I totally like the whole idea. If anything, put a drop shadow behind the smaller image.

Absolutely not!

And do yourself a favour and upgrade your monitor! 😛

How come your running 800x600 res? That would drive me CRAZY. I feel bad enough on paws machines that can't change res from 1024x768!

GT looks nice😀

I like it but I probably wouldn't be able to see some of my icons :/

I tried it with another pic... Oh well, it was a thought

I'm running a 17" Trinitron at 800X600 with large fonts. My son runs his 17" at 1024X768 or higher and it drives me forking nuts! I lean back in my chair, which puts my eyes 30" from the screen. I have to scrinch up close to read crap on my son's. Seems pretty stupid to me. <shrug>

BTW, what resolution are most web sites optimized for?

Here are two more versions:

Original
Smoothed Edges
Beveled

Edit: FYI, "Duty, Honor, Country" is the code at West Point.

30" away from your screen!

Hey whats your eyesight like? I wear glass's and at 30" away the screen is fine for me...
