    Over a year ago when purchased my first m17xR2, someone linked a zip file of customized alienhead wallpapers. They took the alienhead and immersed it in crazy cool colors, and made a 1920x1200 wallpaper for every color. I remember the coolest was one that mixed aqua blue with purple.

    It was kind of like colored smoke effects around the alienhead. I'm taking a shot in the dark (I haven't been able to find them via search) and asking if anyone either knows or remembers which set of wallpapers I'm talking about and may know where to find them.

    Thanks!

    I know the thread that you're talking about, I used a few of those wallpapers for a while when they were new. Sadly I can't remember the member who created them and I can't find the thread when searching for it.

    Nah, they were really wild. There was about 8 of them. They were the alien head with different colors of "smoke like effects" running through the image. Really awesome. Wish they were still around.

    Nope, still not the ones. The "smoke like effects" run through the entire image. I'm almost 100% positive these were someone's custom work, but I do recall them being posted in a zip file like that.

    Anyway, + Rep because unless someone can find the ones I'm talking about, I'm going to be using some of what you posted. Thanks.

    If they're not easily available, then I think they were most probably in the Side Topics Forum, which is no longer accessible :confused:
