7811 desktop wallpaper

For those who own a 7811, I thought I'd share the photo that I'm using as my desktop background. I took this photo in Chicago; it's the Calder Flamingo sculpture located downtown in the Loop. It's bright orange, and with the black building as a backdrop it really matches the 7811's color scheme quite well. I love it on mine, personally.

Here's the link to the full-res version. The size is bigger than the 1920x1200 that the 7811 runs natively, but just right click > set as background (in FF) and set it to "stretch" and it looks awesome. Alternatively, open in a photo editor of your choice and resize/crop to your taste.

Just thought I'd share if anyone wanted some new eye candy for their 7811. Thanks!

PS - if anyone has their own wallpaper that they want to share, feel free to reply and add it

 

God I miss Chicago. Nice shot man. It's my background now.

Finding nice 1920x1200 backgrounds is harder than I thought it would be.

 

Nice. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks! I miss Chicago too - I've never lived there, only visited, but it's an amazing city.

 

Ive also made a few... heres an example... if you guys like this one I have a few other variations I could upload... so let me know

 

Awsome background, show me more!

 

Have you guys tried digitalblasphemy.com before? The guy has some free wallpapers that are pretty cool, just a suggestion

 

maybe in a lil bit... check back later and ill put up a few more variations... the one that is currently my background is a really nice abstract image from Deviantart but cant seem to find it again

 

Freaking awesome doooooode. Especially since it mimmics the FX theme.

 

Thnx... its exactly what I was goin for... plus a twist to my uses cause its usually my Av or Icon in forums or games

 

Duuuude, you "made" that? That's so kewl. Would you mind sharing a bit as to how it's done? I want to try to do something similar with my avatar PIC.

Sure... its really just a little bit of messing around with photoshop.... Ive had many classes and tutorials in all versions of the Adobe Suites, so it does take some time to learn how to use the tools in a fashion that will help you achieve what your goin for.... but when I get some more free time im going to probably make a small little guide if some of youd like and maybe give you a base to start with and you can then do what you want with it

 

That sounds really neat. I'll keep checking back. BTW, I have your FX pic as my background.

 

Sweet... and thank you..... im gonna be around these forums more often now than I was when I first joined so ill get to it when I can

 

Very nice backgrounds, man !
I love the photo in the link, what camera did you use ?
Your other desktop is awesome for the FX line, perfect. The only thing is, that it will expose any bottom light bleed, so common in 7811.

 

Well... the photo is sprocket87, the FX wallpaper is mine... also I have the 6860 and this wallpaper does not seem to have an effect as far as bleeding goes... but as you said maybe just a problem for the 7811?

 

Depends on the LCD. I have 3 7811s and one of them has light bleed. The other two do not.

 

Great shots, also check out http://www.ourdesktops.com and socwall.com for some more wallpaper ideas.

 

this is the one i use most often, I use others but always come back to Ed in the end.


there is a NIN yero zero one i use often as well.. it's on my external so no upload but you can get it at nin.com

i got a desktop screenshot of it on another pc.

 

directeuporium:

I am more interested in the bottom picture and how you got the task bar at the bottom to be like OSX Tiger or whatever.


Thanks!

 

oh and one of my favs is this one

 

google RocketDock

You want to go old fashion, one way I turned my desktop around was Litestep, www.litestep.com or any dev will do, stardock was a major dev for customizing your desktop.

 

Here is the actual wallpaper download: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/details/1762/lights.html

 

Here's my desktop as is. To access icons I simply right click to get a popup menu, I could show my desktop or not, typically I like seeing my wallpapers without clutter =)

 

I will make something when I have a chance to make a wallpaper. Any requests? Perhaps actually have the 7811fx in the middle of it all? Here is some examples of my work *In Post Advertising* http://zakattack423.deviantart.com/gallery/

 

Some of my favourites that I've collected recently:

Let me know if you want me to post any of the full size originals. I've posted some here and most of these are actually 1920 by the way:

 

That's the one I use. It's 1024x768 pic, but after some photoshop it looks great on wuxga.

 

sadly alot of the stardock programs do not yet work in a 64bit OS. Some of them are beginning to such a window blinds, but Object Dock and others still do not.
I like what you did you yours though, you use litestep for that?

 

yeah im a designer of litestep themes, they still do work with 64bit (certain modules do work not all)

I have about 10 themes loaded up, I can post some more screenies if your interested.

 

How did you set this up?

 

This is mine...

 

Azamatka that's a great pic - can you post your 'shopped wuxga version?

 

Kudos on the radical Edward one, I use a this one.

 

Here's my new current desktop

 

First image was using Litestep with the latest build, check out litestep.net
Basically its a 3rd party customize program for windows (instead of using explorer you use litestep)

Second is using WinStep (the angel photo) I personally prefer winstep in customizing my desktop - all my quicklinks are lower left side of screen, all my sidebars to theh right top, practically windows customized, if I wanted i can make it look exactly like mac-OS or linux based on how you want it to be.

very customizable and easy to use, just google up WinStep or Litestep.

Edited - Litestep can be a tab complicated to learn, (has a learning curve like anything else) I would suggest
checking out the basic installer - it comes with 1 theme - however if you run into problems it can be tricky if you dont know how to resort
back to explorer mode, I would suggest if your not that experienced with customizing windows, check out winstep,
gives you a great new look and its fairly easy to setup.

 

Is it possible for you guys to post just the wallpaper. NOT your "desktop.

 

yes, if you want I can rar my wallpapers.

 

better yet...that little cpu monitor app that you have, what is it?

 

Eggggggselent.

 

here are your wallpapers of mine, RAR'd and virus checked.

http://uploading.com/files/NMPCHFQ6/Wallpaper.rar.html


I will post url to get WinStep in a few minutes once its uploaded, its free with 4 themes I picked out, you can simply google for more if anyone wants.
Virus scanned also, no worries =)

 

Hey mate, cannot find it right now, gimme several minutes to find it.

All thanx go straight to my favorite band Porcupine Tree http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mM2gPRM_jU and Lasse Hoile, a great photographer and artist - www.lassehoile.com .

I used to work with Cushman and Wakefield real estate consultants. Sometimes we had projects so big, that we had to work at nights. That's when the inspiration was coming

Note, all the slogans there are the real ad and pr slogans used by C&W

Here you go. Have fun

 

Awesome photos aza, definally good stuff!

 

WinSTEP in one easy download
Simply UnRAR the files, WinSTEP is the main file - rest are themes, you either
unzip them in the WinStep folder or I think 1 theme you can double click to install it directly. Very simple! enjoy

Download from Uploading.com

 

iaTa, here you go!

 

Nevermind what godspeed has to say, i wanna see all your custom themes, specifically the ones that you have tested and know work with the 7811 64bit OS.

I like messin' with this stuff and i was bummed that desktop X didn't work with vista 64. :-(

Let me see what you got! and then maybe help me get it up and running too

 

Does anyone have a wallpaper of the back of the 7811? Would love that as the background

 

Cheers Azamatka, good pics.
