*EDIT* Destructoid Wallpapers-more sizes now!
Virtualgirl | 2:15 AM on 07.04.2007 59 comments


Hey Dtoiders!

I came up with some new Destructoid desktop wallpapers for you all, which was both fun to do, and a great way to show my dtoid love.

Below are five different wallpapers, I tried to have variety in theme and style, so that there is something for everyone!

They are all available in a 1024x768 size and a 1280x800 size for you widescreen people out there.

Let me know what you think!



Paper Robot

More Sizes Now Available!

Ask and you shall receive!

Okay guys, here are a few more sizes for you! If someone has a really strange monitor size and wants me to fix one up for them, send me the dimensions and the name of the one you want to use! I cant go any bigger than these though, or they will start to get pixilated.

Talk about coincidence, I was in need of a new wallpaper. Love the Fading Robots one. Should probably switch the 1024x768 resolution wallpapers for something higher like 1280x1024.

I'm with Fana7ic. 1440x900 is win.

But these are incredible!!!

Yea 1440x900 is becoming the new default resolution since LCD's are the new hotness.

How can something be simultaneously "new" and "default"?

/grammar ftl.

But yes, these are, in fact, awesome.

Scratch another vote for 1440x900. My Mac needs some Dtoid love.

How can something be new and default?

Let me explain.

A great many monitors sold today are of the LCD variety and have a "recommended" setting of 1440x900. But the thing is, if you set the resolution to ANYTHING less than 1440x900, then the display looks like absolute shit. In addition, if you have not purchased an advanced video card, then the monitor will not display much over 1440x900.

Therefore it is new, and default.

Suck it.

awesome wallpapers....
thanks for the effort! its appreciated!

PROTIP: To reset your LCD monitor to factory settings (1440x900:DEFAULT) (Many models)

Simply turn your monitor off, press and hold the + button, and turn your monitor on then release both buttons.

The new default replaces the old one. Come back from France, it's hurting you.

Would really like a 1920x1200 version of these, but can't help but feel that the new robot in a corner looks like Jeremy pwning stuff from PP. Am I mental?

I love the first one. I am going to use that one at work. Too bad my laptop at home has a weird screen size, so I usually have to make my own backgrounds for it.

These are amazing!

Would you be able to make the whole set in 1680x1050? Thats my widescreen resolution. Ill put my desktop on rotate so everyone can see all of them in thier full beauty.
Virtualgirl's Avatar - Comment posted on 07/05/2007 21:20

@captain blue, Sure, i can no problem, i accidently made them 1600x1050 instead of 1680x1050. oops! but first, is it possible for you to use the largest size i made and "fit to screen" if not, let me know and i will get on that!
CaptainBlue's Avatar - Comment posted on 07/05/2007 21:41
CaptainBlue
It sorta works, but when i "center" them, it puts black bars on the side and when i "stretch" them, it cuts off "destructoid" in the ones with it in the corners. My only other display option is "tile" and that just looks bad all together.
