My actual desktop wallpaper !

Postby Daube » Thu Sep 09, 2010 2:36 pm

Hi all,

Do you usually use your FS (9 or X) screenshots as desktop wallpapers ? I do that often. It's not easy because not only the picture has to look nice, it must also provide clear space for the icons to remain visible.

Anyway, that's the one I'm using currently. I love it because it has nice colors with cool looking plane and scenery, and the sky is perfect for showing my left-aligned desktop icons :)

The picture is in 16/10 format. Here is the non-resized (1680 x 1050) screenshot if you want to use it for your own desktop too  8-)

Whoa ! Excellent colors  8-)

Perhaps it would be a good idea to put the plane out of the center of the picture, more toward the bottom. The bottom half of the picture as it is now show only simple ground. It would be better to show the sky instead, what do you think ?
