Feel free to upload any original (or non-copy protected) wallpapers to aoafiles.

They will eventually be moved to this folder on aoafiles for all to share.

Here's a couple wallpapers I made. They are smaller than full screen, but can be used nicely, centered on a black background.

There's one is for XP fans~

and one for Linux fans~

Enjoy

Looks nice! What program do you use, LP?

I have a few different programs, but those were made in Xara3D4.

Here's my current wallpaper. I have it stretched to 1024x800. It's a scene from a Korean comedy called Jail Breakers. The fellow in the picture has stolen a pastry because he was hungry and the cops are trying to stop him from eating it.

I was pissed off all day yesterday and couldn't figure out why! Then late last night it hit me what was eating my liver!

I had just learned a new statistic:
11,000,000 children starve to death each year!

There's plenty of food to feed them... but we don't just give away food now do we? And hey, if the first world fed THEM, wouldn't we have to feed their starving parents (if they are still alive) As well?

They must die that capitalism may remain an untamed and wild beast at the table. Easier to let them die than for the world to face our oppressors and revolt!

I took some photos which I use for backdrops.

In order they are:
The dawn sky outside my front door
San Francisco from top of the big hill near it

Yosemite Falls from the top looking over
Sunrise from the side of the house.

A friend has an excellent one of Glastonbury 2004 but I need his permission to post it. I'm hopefull

Edit: damn, the photo is part of a portfolio, sorry

I love those pictures. The wonders of digital photography, huh?

I've found that the only disadvantage to having a widescreen computer is the fact that the resolution is a little funny. My monitor runs at 1440 x 900, making most wallpapers look funny on my screen. For the longest time I ran the default Apple wallpaper but about a month ago I changed it to most of a picture that I took at a concert not too long ago. It cuts off the bottom of the image when I set it as my wallpaper, but it works great for the image.

Have you tried making any panoramas with your own photography?
There is an amazing package called 'The Panorama Factory' which is easy to use. This would make nice widescreen backdrops.

Yep, I've expiremented with it. Photoshop CS has a great tool that will let you make a panorama. Right now I'm happy with my normal desktop being cut off a little bit, but I might do something different later down the line.
