EDIT Destructoid Wallpapers-more sizes now!
Virtualgirl \| 2:15 AM on 07.04.2007	58 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
(actually torn paper I printed, tore and scanned)

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!!!

Detry says:
(# 8) on 07/04/2007 04:07

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

Joseph Leray says:
(# 9) on 07/04/2007 04:42

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

/grammar ftl.

But yes, these are, in fact, awesome.

Dexter345 says:
(# 10) on 07/04/2007 04:47

Awesome, I needed a new background.

Kif says:
(# 11) on 07/04/2007 05:01

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

Detry says:
(# 12) on 07/04/2007 05:06

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!

Detry says:
(# 14) on 07/04/2007 05:17

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.

Awesome Work VG made the first one my WP and the Also cocks #1 my XBL background

William Haley says:
(# 16) on 07/04/2007 05:28

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

Tempus says:
(# 17) on 07/04/2007 05:34

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?

Detry says:
(# 18) on 07/04/2007 05:35

I'm still using a crappy CRT btw...

Dammit. I hate being poor.

Meagan, the naming scheme of your cats perplexes me.

Kotua says:
(# 29) on 07/04/2007 11:18

I agree with teh majority, There should be a 1440x900 version...

Otherwise, these are truly awesome and made of win!

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.

Virtualgirl says:
(# 37) on 07/04/2007 14:10

Alright guys, there you go! More sizes!

Beautiful work.

Virtualgirl says:
(# 42) on 07/05/2007 08:02

@ mix:

Did you want me to fix one up for you? which one do you want?

galagabug says:
(# 43) on 07/05/2007 08:25

woohoo i has new wallpaper.

Phist says:
(# 44) on 07/05/2007 14:02

Again, nice stuff, VG.

Can we get a little more respect for the ARM TEAM???? (You people and your funky desktop sizes.)

CaptainBlue says:
(# 45) on 07/05/2007 20:48

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 says:
(# 46) 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 says:
(# 47) on 07/05/2007 21:41

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.

Mxyzptlk says:
(# 48) on 07/06/2007 00:15

Paper Robot is my new desktop, until the girl replaces it with something from Cute Overload. Fantastic work!

Virtualgirl says:
(# 49) on 07/06/2007 08:25

@capatainBlue, okay! i will fix them up, might not have a chance till this monday, i am going out of town...
