I don't know if this is like really old, but I just remembered a mate showing this to me.

Try saving the image as a wallpaper and put it on stretch mode. 4x3 pixels and it works out rather nice (imo). Only seems to work with jpgs, not bmp's/png's and it's dead easy to make more.


edit: oo 600th reply, do I win a prize?

Laz - if you change your background image to a bmp or a jpg then you won't have the annoying grey around the icon text.

I assume it's a png, right?

Laz to fix:
Right click My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> "Performance Settings" and make sure "Use Drop Shadows for icon labels on the desktop" is checked.

Roight - getting tired of my blandarse grey background so I'm looking for a decent wallpaper. Anyone know of any good sites that do 1600res shots? I'm happy to have any urls to sites with good wallpapers but I'm after one with a Ford Mustang (2004/2005) preferably. So far my googling has turned up a couple of sites, all 1024res max and pretty shit pictures anyway.

Any help appreciated :D
