Wallpaper Request: I know, I know....
Wednesday, February 18, 2004 by uM0p apsdn | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Wondering if anyone can/want to make a nature/landscape related wallpaper. Using a sakura (cherry blossom) tree as the main focus. Minimalisic background as to not distract the point of the wallpaper.
I know, I know. It's a long shot, but I trying my luck here and see if anyone is up to the challenge. There's just too many pond, ocean, sunset, mountain wallpapers.

No problem. Make sure you're downloading FireFox and not Mozilla. Mozilla has everything, FireFox is a stripped down browser version. Tabs were weird for me when I fist downloaded Firebird(old version), but I'm used to it. Takes up less space when you're browsing multiple sites.
And the best part is that hackers aren't attacking any potential holes it MIGHT have.

MGiff, the tree needs to be clean up a bit. It's a little blurry and has some other minor "dirt". Possibly replace the background with another? Take your time (all the time you need).

Yes I'm using IE, but I usually have Javascript either disabled or set to prompt, plus using google bar to block many popups, and sometimes using Proxomotron to really take control of things for some web sites to make them do what I want. I've tried Opera/Mozilla/most other browsers over the years when designing web sites to make sure they work with a range of browsers, but despite the flaws, since most web sites are lazy and only design for IE, I tend to stick with that now...Ah well...in this case whatever ad was causing it has stopped on those pages for now anyhow...and I'm going to stop butting in on this thread any more.

That's much better. The sunset was just an idea. However, you might want to experiment with a few things to include in the background, it looks "empty".
It needs a vertical object to break the horizonal look (tree/sky/grass all horizonal), possibly the sunset near the left in the horizon like the previous version and/or a dirt road with fence (old fashion wood fence) on each side disapearing into the horizon (directly centered or not). Experiment.
The main focus should be the tree itself, it's petals. The details should be in the petals.
It's becoming as to what I had in mind.

Photoshop. The sky is a gradient found on the Adobe Studio Exchange, called sky gradients. I added the cloud effect with brushes found the same place. Thanks by the way.
