So I was looking at the april desktops thread and it got me wanting to change my wallpaper on my laptop, as it's been bugging me for sometime..

so I went to google etc and looked for some..

did I find any?

You bet I didnt

So my question is:

where do you get all these amazing wallpapers from? I don't want themes I just want a nice abstract wallpaper that I don't have to download.

hmm, I was using caedes.net, which is a nice site.

But I hate navigating through devianart, I can never seem to get the things I want ><

theres an easy search bar at the top to use..

Hate to piss on your parade like... but have you checked with our friend? LOL

pfft, Deviantart > google images


Also, I find DA rather easy to navigate.

Also, notice the name: Deviantart vs. Google Images... clear enough for me.

1. Why argue about this?

2. Customize.org, WinCustomize.net

www.depthcore.com

some really cool background there

Ok, so I went on deviantart and I admit I do love the images there. But half the wallpapers have the windows bar and icons on them already...-.-

http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/wallpaper/
http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/wallpaper/vector/

hmm thanks, this depthcore website has some pretty amazing wallpapers on it, it's just a shame half of them don't like showing lol.

lol, bit of an unfair contest really, when deviant is one site and google is a search engine.

But hey it made me giggle

I personally think that deviant art is the better one of the two for it's quality.  It is good having many images indexed and all, but I prefer quality over quantity, just wish deviant art would bring back the feature of having a minimum dimension to the wallpapers

* markee just hates searching through heaps of good images that aren't big enough

There are plenty of good quality wallpapers directly taken from google images too. And you can also search for wallpaper sites with google...

Of course, all this requires you to _search_ and use a _proper_ (but logic) keyword like "wallpaper"...

:

Bah, I can never find anything on there, I either make my own or do a good old Google search through every single wallpaper site out there... Quantity + Quality > Quality.

Personally i like to use a bit of everything! I like pictures of hills and good views so you can get them anywhere! google images, devan art or you can just use google to find good websites for wallpapers . I was watching a programme that the BBC make, its called click, ( www.bbc.co.uk/click (live steaming of the show)) and they do a section every week called webscape, they give you good website for things...onc they had this week was www.airliners.net. That is an amazing website! i am not even interested in planes but there are some amazing pictures, i mostly like the ones of Helicopters, and they all seem to have nice backgrounds to them...

ATM i have one i made myself so
