Find My New Desktop Background

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Wed Aug 20, 2014 7:29 am

Post by quadz08 »

I have recently acquired a fancy new monitor. In getting said new monitor, I have become rather bored of my existing background.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find and/or make me a new desktop background. Left monitor is 1920x1080, right monitor is 1600x900. Right monitor is the primary screen, and should be able to stand on its own (i.e., not look like shit when it's not connected to the second monitor).

I am disappointed that the debut album Broomrape is no longer with us.

It would have been perfect. Also noone post 2008 will get it...
Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.

I recommend the -porn subreddits for finding backgrounds. EarthPorn is my go-to.

Space is the only acceptable background. I knew this even before I was interested in space.
Personally I like this one:

I've used the black one of these for a very long time and I still think it's very nice. (I like the other colours too, but auto-changing backgrounds distract me.)

It's larger than your screen resolutions but just set it to fill instead of stretch or tile or whatever and it'll still look fine.

So this is super spectacular except for the bit where when I use laptop standalone my background will just be "cum"

Imagine how often you'd have to explain if it said "scum". If your wallpaper just says "cum" in big red letters, people know exactly what's going on.

I like to have plain textures in the background. Less distracting, way more stylish. This is me.
