The wallpaper I’ve been using on a couple of computers for the past couple of months is “Darker Wood” by PaulEnsane. It’s a very soothing, neutral and natural wallpaper. While I’ve been happily using it, I wanted something with a bit more colour, but still with the natural wood. I stumbled across this colourful wallpaper, [...]
I’ve built up quite a collection of this Pirate series of wallpapers, so I thought it would be good to have a central point to put them all. Any requests, let me know in the comments. Here’s the list so far: Pirate Windows wallpaper
I installed Ubuntu eee last night on to my little Asus Eee PC 701. It’s a very well put together package and I really like the Netbook Remix interface.

I’m about done with this Pirate wallpaper series, so I’m making the Photoshop PSD file available for anyone that would like to edit it and make their own version. If you do, I’d be interested in seeing what you come up with, so let me know in the comments.

This was kind of fun. A little challenge to make a wallpaper in 5 minutes. This turned out to be closer to 10 minutes but I was enjoying it. Made using brushes and coloured using a Gradient Map adjustment layer. Size is 1600x1200px. And a darker version. Download the PSD file (4mb)

I was on /wg/ today and someone had posted a desktop screenshot, asking for the original wallpaper. At first glance, it just looked like a basic, pixelated image, but upon closer inspection, the pixels had rounded edges and a slight sharpening effect.
