Haiku new Wallpapers!

21

Awesome! I saved it immediately, because images keep disappearing from the forum. :stuck_out_tongue: This is the only one left in this thread.

22

Yeah this is what I have on my desktop at work now since it turned out so wellā€¦ Took it with my phone amazingly. Looks fine at 1080p not sure about higher. It is a 4k image though let me know if the forum is downscaling etc and Iā€™ll upload somewhere better.

23

Itā€™s 4032x2268 pixels, so it will look great even on 4K displays. :smiley:

I like that backgrounds @apgreimann used in his tour:

Simple and nice

Yeah! They remind me those used in classic Mac OS (pre OS X/macOS).

26

Thatā€™s the idea, man. :smile: But I donā€™t know how theyā€™d fit into Haikuā€™s feel, which is why I gave up on them. Iā€™ll add a link next to the updated version of the demo if someone wants them though. (And glad you liked them, @lelldorin!)

The second one is pretty OK, but the first one I think the tiles are too smallā€¦ too similar to the size of the icons.

Blue_Dalmatian

This was the Blue Dalmatian iMac wallpaper. Donā€™t know if it blends well with Haiku though. And itā€™s in iMacā€™s G3 native resolution: 1024x768. Very small for todayā€™s standards.

White is not a good background

Ah, the 1990sā€¦ when computers used to be fun (and honestly personal)

While in the mood of things, hereā€™s a few tiled backgrounds from the Classic Mac OS I really like as well (Rio Azul, Candy Bar)ā€¦

Haiku cannot supply copyrighted wallpapers, do an own interpretation.

Technically everything work of art is copyrighted by default in the USA at leastā€¦ its just if it has been licensed to you or not. Obviously we donā€™t have license to use Apples backgroundsā€¦

Right; just having a bit of fun with these. :slight_smile:

36

I didnā€™t suggest bundling apple wallpapers on Haiku. As @apgreimann said, just having fun.

37

How about a wallpaper with just a big Haiku leaf in the middle?

It would be simplistic, yet distinctly Haiku.

Not a bad idea, I think a white leaf on a blue background rather than blue on white would look nice (although a blue leaf on a black background also works.)

I quite like these from DevArt which are what I use:

I quite like the second one, personally. The Haiku logo it it and its reflection could be a bit closer together, though.

While more wallpapers would be great, I just want to point out that I love the default look of Haiku. :smiley: Itā€™s simple, beautiful and it just doesnā€™t get old (to me). :smile:
