Desktop backgrounds
January 24th, 2005 by HenFor a long time I’ve used a tiled genjava logo as the background for all my machines. It’s simple, tiles very nicely and doesn’t get in the way of the desktop. Recently I’ve experimented.
On my work Linux box I’ve been randomly selecting pictures from baby.yandell.org and applying colour filters and other options to them. Quite fun.
However, my new favourite is to grab a few images from http://www.explodingdog.com/ and set them as the source for a revolving background. They stretch very nicely and generally have lots of uniform colour that leads to a superb background.
