What wallpaper websites do you use?

from WinCustomize Forums

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

Mostly DeviantArt.

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/

Hi leo

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

Bonsoir à toute la communauté WinCustomise,

bonsoir Léo le Lion,

Pour vous répondre ou trouver des fonds d'écrans adapté à chaque mise en place de chacun, j'ai téléchargé dreamscene  me permettant d'installer des clips de Youtube puis des films entier en format wmv comme fond d'écran

(Certain CCP EVE sont assez sympathique pour les thèmes de science fiction) Mais en allant plus loin dans l'idée, filmant moi même ce que je désire cela m'a permis d’apprécier encore plus la personnalisation de mon fond d'écran.

Ensuite lors de l'application de dreamscène un random background c'est installé sur mon click droit ...Cool... revenant sur mon deskscape j'ai pu mixer une compil de films en boucle en randombackground pour deskscape avec un mélange de WinCustomise pour Windowsblind, Cursor Fx+, desktop Widjet, Icon package, Sound package Objetdock Fx4, fense Logonstudio et Rainmeter avec deviantart puis customise.org pour wmp, xion, winamp pour les lecteurs et Zoomit, madotate 3d, Y'z shadow, stack docklet, bumptop et screensaver pour l’écran de veille.

Salutation

Jef :zoomba:

I have to agree Digital Blasphemy is the only site i found that supports Dual or Tripple screen wallpapers.But its not for free but lets face it nothing is realy free.And its sure worth the money.
I wonder since a long time why WC didnt catch up with that but it may be because you cannot even add a preview for a dual screen.
