Who can resist mysterious widescreen wallpapers?

Wistful Writer Widescreen Hi-Res Wallpaper

I was getting tired of the same old wall­paper I’ve been using for a couple of weeks and thought that I’d just whip one up for myself. I like the myste­rious feeling it evokes, though others might get some­thing else out of the image. The reso­lution is 1920×1200 (16:10 ratio), which is my Dell 2408WPF’s native reso­lution. I really liked the base image (the photo­graph) that I used for my new Pixel theme. I basi­cally just did the gradients on the edges again to better suit my needs. I use Rain­meter for my large 10 foot HUD clock and weather (though I changed the font to Arial, or Helvetica, I forget). I also use a nice dock at the bottom provided by ObjectDock.

Anyway, I love making my own wall­papers whenever possible. As I’ve probably mentioned before, I like darker wall­papers because bright ones can really make you squint at night. So instead of scouring the Internet for a wall­paper that is perfect, I just looked in my own bin of photos and presto, a custom wall­paper fit for a king!

P.S. That “Tweet This” button was a little bit low in quality, I had to clean up the edges.  I hate it when the edges are sloppy.  Maybe you can get away with that for bright backgrounds.
