Where Do You Go For Wallpapers?

Pretty pictures on the desktop

Wednesday, October 17, 2007 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Wallpapers are an often overlooked piece of the user experience, as they're often covered by application windows, folders and icons.  But there's something to be said about finding the wallpaper that perfectly matches your skin and icon set, making for the ultimate theme.

Here at WinCustomize, we have a wallpaper gallery with thousands of wallpapers submitted over the years, some of them are absolutely fantastic too. But we know we're not THE destination on the net for wallpapers, there are dozens of sites out there with a better selection.  This is an issue we're going to be working hard to rectify in the future.

So, what I'm wondering is where do YOU go when you need to find a killer wallpaper?  What are your favorite sites that have the best selection of what you're looking for?  Toss a comment in on your favorite sites, and what your preferred type of wallpaper is (abstract, nature, photo etc).

While you ponder, here are a few of my all-time favorites from the wallpaper gallery here at WC:

Okay Fuzzy, I have given it some thought and I will accept your challenge and start uploading again on a trial basis. You could do me a favour if you would. Can you change the age on my page to 53......it currently states I am 23( I wish). I noticed I have been a member here since 2001.......a lot has changed in that time including my hairline....LOL

I've always liked webshots. They got all different kinds of wallpapers.

We don't have access to people's personal information, only you can do that. The only place I can see to change age is on the Personal Page, Settings, Stardock Account, that has a date of birth field

Okay Fuzzy I will try that...thanks. Tried uploading but nothing appears to be happening. I have followed the procedure meticulously. I will wait and see and try again later.

I have tried uploading twice now and I follow the instruction and at stage two when I hit submit the upload monitor with the guage does not appear as it used to and it just appears to load via the window status bar. It does not proceed to the window which used to say the upload had been successful nor have I had a notification to say it has been okayed. Has all this process changed over the last couple of months?

The new upload page is on the right of the main page and is called 'Submit to gallery'. If that doesn't work the old page is available here LINK

I used the old page you gave the link to successfully Fuzzy. The New page does not want to play.....as JackDirt would have said at deviantART....rectal gnomes are lurking! Thanks for your help...uploaded two.  ......and just as a plug...Renderosity.com has a wealth of talented artists who upload fantastic wallpapers daily. It rivals deviantART in size but offers far more in the way of resources and information. Big free download area. Worthy of a look by any artist.
