What wallpaper websites do you use?

Tuesday, March 1, 2011 by Leo the Lion | Discussion: Wallpapers

So, apart from Wincustomize, where do you go to find a suitable wallpaper for the set-up you are using?

I often get asked after putting up a screenshot via a message on a skin or PM.

There are some great sites out there and several to be wary of..........Here are a few of my 'haunts'.........some obvious and some you might never heard of.

Please share as this would be a useful post and tool for many to refer back to when you are trying to source out the matching wall to go with that great blind!

Never really had a favorite other than WC. Basically I just google it and go from there. But ... I will copy these sites, except DA because I have it linked in my speed dial.

Digital Blaspemy is an excellent website. Been there before and their walls are out of this world, almost. Wallpaper Abyss I've been to a couple of times. They're also pretty good.

Any recomendations for wallpaper software?

 

I need:

Fast browsing support for hundreds or thousands of wallpapers

Browsing filters for dimensions and colors

Multi moniter support

I don't mind purchasing good software

 

I don't need:

Random wallpaper changes

Wallpaper editing

Not me.  I prefer places with a tighter rein on copyright/permissions....like the sources of much of their stuff... Digital Blasphemy for one, Artofgregmartin for two...

Desktop Nexus display lots of stolen artwork. They have a reporting system, but they never get back to you and never take down the stolen images. I know this because there are several of mine on there that I didn't put up...........

Hi! to another Brit. Your Love's Dying Embers is my fav all time wallpaper. IMHO this is a piece of art that should go down in history. It's almost 3D. Anyone not familar with this wallpaper go here https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/wallpapers/5751/

BoXXi at his best

Hi leo

Obviously they have no scuples either. Just found some of my walls there and I sure didn't submit them.
