Deep Blue Wallpaper

May 13, 2007

Due to popular request I did a wallpaper using the bubbles appearing on the start page and in the comment section on this site. But instead of just publishing the wallpaper, I thought it would be nice to once again turn it into a wallpaper devkit so you can customize it.

So feel free to play around, reposition the bubbles, remove the gras or add new items to the wallpaper. Would be nice if you shared your artwork with us. And by the way, this devkit also supports dual screen setups - for those of you using two displays or a giant 30” Apple Cinema Display.

So don’t be surprised that the package is about 35MB in size :) If you’re interested in the offical Bartelme Design Deep Blue Wallpaper you can grab your copy right here. Enjoy.

Fantastic! Thanks for publishing this. I can't wait to start playing with it. What happened to the teaser that had the rays of light coming from above?

Matt Wilson

No sweat - my fault. The teaser image above was not up-to-date :)

Wolfgang

Alexander Hahn

ps: gibts die displays die du verwendest eigentlich auch im download? Im icollection package ists ja nen anderer/kleinerer... feinste grüße!

Alexander Hahn

Very Nice and great free source but only problem is i see in the future soon a lot of people using the bubbles and grass in designs and not crediting you or asking permission.

James David

it's a perfect wallpaper! too bad my monitor is only a 17" @1280x1024

LEMONed

will wait for the devkit ;)

LEMONed

alright, a temporary solution (before the official devkit) for those who use 1280x1024. sorry for being so evil to remove bartelme's logo. lol

LEMONed

not a 30" but two big ones on my pc - on my mac i use another wallpaper...

Alexander HAhn

Well if you wanna do other resolutions just resize the devkit using Photoshop's "Canvas Size" dialog and reposition the bubbles/gras. It's as simpleas that :)

Wolfgang Bartelme

What about removing the 'or' from "...for those of you using two displays or a giant 30” Apple Cinema Display"? d-: lol

Elliott Cable

Ein wirklich schöner Hintergrund. Weiter so!

Markus

As always: Really nice work!

marc

well, didnt realize that the devkit is already available..

LEMONed

dange - rockt total!

winger

Garrett Bjerkhoel

You... Are a genious!

digitalsoft

Absolut grandios! Habe das auf meinen beiden Macs als Hintergrund eingerichtet.

Lars Fischer

Just in time, I was fishing for a new wallpaper this morning. This is hot! Without the bubbles.

Nice shot! I very like this wallpaper..:)

kawamao

The resolution is showing up in Apple's Preview with a height of 1200 pixels? My 30" ACD has a height of 1600, any thoughts ... Other than that, this one rocks!

David

Thanks for the release! I have another toy to play with tonight.

AsceticMonk

Great work! I do like it!

cool.............

underone

Hi Wolfgang, I like it! It adorns my display as I type. There is just one thing and I don't know if this is intentional. The bubbles are going in the wrong direction. If this is underwater, the bubbles (presumably, air?) will expand and get bigger as they rise. Sorry to be a science geek but.... Chris

Chris Carpenter

Dang.... you hit me again.... This is amazing! Fantastic work!

m.Sharp

wow cool, now all I have to do is install win zip

owen

Great stuff! Thanks.

Indigo

Beautiful work, I love the simplicity. I had to download your kit and apple-fy it a little bit to my liking, here's the result: http://www.flickr.com/photos/joonasbergius/504738016/

Joonas Bergius

Looks incredible as always. I was wondering if you could let me know how you make those lightrays. I've tried all my old tricks, and I can't seem to make them look as real as yours. I'm sure others would find it useful as well.

J. Houk

Well I guess that's a good topic for a short tutorial :)

Wolfgang

Many thanks!

J. Houk

Wow, You are really making my desktop look great with the nice icons and wallpaper! Thanks for sharing :) Dan

Dan

Beautiful Work, it's fantastic :)

amici

the bubble should expand as it rise, afaik. Other than that, your wallpaper is great! I especially liked the light rays

Chito

WoW amasing! I realy like your work! keep on doing great stuff! !Respect!
