impressive collections =)

one question, why some PNG format wallpaper will come out weird when set as desktop background? everybody or just me? =)

try Wallpaper colorful by payalnic for example..
BoltClock August 24th, 2008

@Ismail: Because Windows (only Windows) does not deal with PNG wallpapers properly. I’d recommend saving it as a JPEG then trying again.
dev August 24th, 2008

Very good collection (Some of them i really don;t like….)
i heard that png is use for web graphic format beside jpeg and gif.
if want to set a picture as wallpaper use BMP format

Awesome. Just awesome…

What’s the license for the use of these images? Can I use one as a background for my website(with due credit to the artist of course) ?
hongkiat August 27th, 2008

@Auran I guess the licenses varies. My suggestion is that if you found something you like and would like to use it elsewhere, contact the author.

Christopher May 13th, 2009

we didn’t the rainbow signified freedom to all oppressed groups, and peace and harmony which is why different groups use it. It’s a myth that it’s a solely gay thing. The rainbow is for everyone. I can’t believe that straight people were so blinded by their own sheer numbers that they still continue to murder and bully people because they are attracted to people who are the same sex only.
