Camp Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Just curious if any of you guys have recomendations for good sources of widescreen desktop backgrounds. The only two sources I've really been able to find are: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/resolutions.php?w=1680 and http://www.deviantart.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 cool sites. If your into the shows on scifi channel they have a few widescreen wallpapers. Most of the widescreen wallpapers I have are movies in screen captured capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 http://wallpaper.deviantart.com/widescreen/ There're two others as well. One is mainly photogrpah-based wallpapers (where I got the one I use on my 2005fpw) and another with some nice Firefox wallpapers. IIRC, there's also an Apple one that I liked. I'll look around for those URL's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 A few here: http://homepage.mac.com/nuber/DesktopPictures/PhotoAlbum9.html Here's a firefox: http://www.rakaz.nl/nucleus/item/38 Also, remember that you can easily take and existing image (like http://www.rakaz.nl/nucleus/index.php?itemid=10), proportionally size to 1680 px wide, and then slap black letterboxes on the top and bottom so it's 1050 high. I really like to do this because I like my desktop icons organized in the letterboxes by my current projects. This site has a lot of really nice destops. IIRC, some are 1680x1050, but you'll need to make minor image edits like I described above or just stretch them if you want the rest. http://smhill.net/desktops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Or you can just crop hi-rez images to the proportions you want. More often than not this won't affect the composition since most area of interest is never at the very top or bottom of an image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberwoo Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Coolness. I use my 16:9 hdtv as my computer monitor as well so anything PC widescreen related is A-ok in my book. Now if only every PC game supported native 16:9 resolutions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
