Awesome! I saved it immediately, because images keep disappearing from the forum. This is the only one left in this thread.
Yeah this is what I have on my desktop at work now since it turned out so well⦠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 Iāll upload somewhere better.
Itās 4032x2268 pixels, so it will look great even on 4K displays.
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).
Thatās the idea, man. But I donāt know how theyād fit into Haikuās feel, which is why I gave up on them. Iāll 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 small⦠too similar to the size of the icons.
This was the Blue Dalmatian iMac wallpaper. Donāt know if it blends well with Haiku though. And itās in iMacās G3 native resolution: 1024x768. Very small for todayās standards.
White is not a good background
Ah, the 1990s⦠when computers used to be fun (and honestly personal)
While in the mood of things, hereās a few tiled backgrounds from the Classic Mac OS I really like as well (Rio Azul, Candy Bar)ā¦
But should more haiku like, i does not want to see Mac OS then i am using haiku
Haiku cannot supply copyrighted wallpapers, do an own interpretation.
Technically everything work of art is copyrighted by default in the USA at least⦠its just if it has been licensed to you or not. Obviously we donāt have license to use Apples backgroundsā¦
Right; just having a bit of fun with these.
I didnāt suggest bundling apple wallpapers on Haiku. As @apgreimann said, just having fun.
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. Itās simple, beautiful and it just doesnāt get old (to me).
