    I know there's already a thread about the wallpapers that come OEM from Sony on the Vaio notebooks, but I've been just playing around and made some for myself. If you've got a picture/photo/current wallpaper that you'd like to see vaio-ified post it here or a link to it here, and I'll vaio-fy it for you... here's the one a made last night. It's simple and very calming. Plus it's got beautiful color on the X-bright screens! Just make sure it's not a copyrighted image, and that it's ok to modify.

    That's amazing. Would you happen to have that in a higher resolution? :)

    I like 3rd and 4th.

    The placement of the word vaio doesn't seem right in the first 2.. sometimes it's not easy to place this kind of stuff right.

    IMHO,

    1st one should have the vaio text lower and a bit more on the right.
    2nd one should have the vaio text higher and a bit more on the left.

    What do you think?

    Nice pictures, but something's not right with the logo...look at the "O", it's not smooth, it's pixelate...I like the one with balls personally, love dark wallpapers :)

    Yea, it was just a quick logo I pulled from a google image search. I blew it up a little more than it needed without being a higher resolution picture.
