Alternative June Wallpapers (including widescreen) (UPDATED)

14two10 · June 3rd, 2006, 7:23 AM

I've become somewhat dissatisfied with the official TG wallpapers, so rather than complain about it, I decided to make my own.

Sticking with the Lamborghini theme used in the official wallpaper, I've chosen the new Murciélago LP640.

I'm thinking that if the work is appreciated, I'll probably do this every month.

I've created it in all the common resolutions, including widescreen 1280x720, but if anyone wants it in a different resolution, then let me know.

Anyway, let me know what you think.

EDIT:

I've added a poll to this post to try and guage some idea of how many people are actually downloading one of these wallpapers. Please vote honestly.

edit: woops, forgot to include 1680x1050 in the poll. oh well.

I like your attitude images/smilies/tongue.gif

Love it except I'd prefer not have that little logo in the bottom right hand corner...

Though I don't use them nor care for them, the TG wallpapers are getting better this year. Last years were absolute crap IMO but this years is much better images/smilies/smile.gif

why does the calendar have to start on Thursday? Is it that difficult to actually have a normal sun-sat calendar, yet you just move the first day of the month to the respective day of the week?

Just figured if every other calendar in the world does it that way, why change it and confuse everyone.

14two10 · June 3rd, 2006, 7:47 AM

LOL, I didn't even notice that!

I just copied the calendar off the offical TG June wallpaper, I didn't realise that they started it on a thursday.

ce1984 · June 3rd, 2006, 8:37 AM

That's awesome, can you do one in 1920x1200?

14two10 · June 3rd, 2006, 9:33 AM

I've just replaced all the original pics with new ones to fix the calendar problem, so scroll back up and check 'em out.

Sorry, ce1984, I can't do a 1920x1200 version as the original pic was only 1600x1200, so going any larger will reduce the quality. You could try using the 1600x1000 version on 'Stretch' instead of 'Centre', might look ok.

Nice wallpaper. Resizing one to fit 1280x800 for the laptop now images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Overheat · June 3rd, 2006, 10:51 PM

shame it's not big enough for my laptop - but looks good - good work images/smilies/smile.gif

AZZA · June 3rd, 2006, 11:35 PM

you forgot about the second most common laptop resolution:

1440 x 900 which is 17 inch widescreen.

Could you do one for me? Cheerz

14two10 · June 4th, 2006, 2:31 AM

Ok, I added a 1440x900 version. Anything else?

If for next time, I think a 1280x800 is a good size as well, most 15.4" widescreen laptops follow that res images/smilies/smile.gif

Thanks

Dsemaj · June 4th, 2006, 11:38 AM

1680x1050 if possible, thanks.

HondaTeamCZ · June 4th, 2006, 11:47 AM

1280x800 and 1680x1050 have both been added.

I also added a poll to get an idea of how many people are downloading these and which sizes are the most popular.

Please vote.

Much appreciated, downloaded the 1280x800 now and voted images/smilies/smile.gif

Overheat · June 4th, 2006, 3:13 PM

what's the point in having so many resolutions, wouldn't it be better to just have the highest two and then everyone can just stretch them to their desktop size?

M3lover · June 4th, 2006, 5:03 PM

Thx for the wallpaper and the 1280 x 800 resize images/smilies/thumbsup.gif
