Flow Wallpaper

November 17, 2007

It's time for some fresh, dynamic colors for your desktop. So check out my brand new wallpaper "Flow", inspired by the default PS3 background as well as by the icons of Adobe's Creative Suite: To be precise, by the icons of Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator.

Resolutions

“Flow” comes in two variants: a single display one with a resolution of 2560x1600px and a dual screen one with a resolution of 2x1920x1200px. Hope you enjoy :)

Leopard

By the way those of you, who have already upgraded to Leopard and don’t like the semitransparent menu bar or the new Dock, might particularly be interested in this one: Because of the black background at the very top and bottom you have a more or less opaque looking menu bar and the highest possible contrast for the dock. Thus you can easily spot which apps are currently running and which not.

Update

I just added a bunch of iPhone/iPod touch compatible variants to the package. Enjoy :)

Wow! This looks stunning! I love it. Thank you very much. I think this one is allready one of my favorites. Do you have a iPhone wallpaper too? ;-)

Fantastisch! Gefällt mir! Danke, Wolfgang!

Very nice! I like it - I'm going to download it as soon as possible (currently only internet access is iPhone, DSL doesn't work...).

Julian Schrader

Beautiful. Thanks! Definately my new desktop.

This is another great release Wolfgang, using it on laptop and PC thank you :)

Well sounds like a good idea - so I'll add a iPhone compatible variant later on :)

Deine Blog-Posts kommen spärlich - aber wenn, dann ist es immer etwas feines ;) Dankeschön.

Wow! Another great wallpaper. How did you do this? I'm waiting for the iPhone version ;)

Bernd

Hey! Vielen Dank!

Wow, these look nice, certainly something a little refreshing from the current wood grain i have...

One other thing, could they be released in smaller sizes, to save us scaling them ourselves?

Great, now we all got the same one *argh But, seriously: Legendary!

Tobias

Truly amazing, love the mix of colours on the black background!

Gefällt mir wirklich super! Und die Tatsache, dass es eine Dual-Screen-Version gibt, hat mich gleich mal dazu bewegt, seit langem einen neuen Bildschirmhintergrund einzustellen.

Sehr schick, die Wallpaper, mit deinem feed scheint übrigens etwas nicht zu stimmen: "XML-Verarbeitungsfehler"

Hanna von Tenspolde

Aww, this is fantastic! Awesome job man!

Really nice wallpaper. Thankz...

Klasse Arbeit, wirkt als Desktophintergund irgendwie sehr beruhigend...

Wolfgang, consider adding rel="nofollow" to your links as quite a bit of spammers put comments× on your blog. "aforyzmy", "krutynia", "sp?ywy", "kajakowe" etc. These are Polish travel websites.

Its nice to find a good looking desktop background that spans across two monitors. I was getting fed up of staring at two different images constantly. Thanks wolfgang

I have heard about the DeepBlue theme for WordPress, at LEMON?d's flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/lemoned/2144598110/ and He said to ask you about that.. What are you saying ?.

This wallpaper is awesome!
