  • To Dave and/or others: Wall Paper

    For a long, long time I've used the <a href="http://www.apolyton.net/cgi-bin/ctp2/db/search.cgi?query=wall+paper&mh=25&type=keyword&boo l=and" target="_blank">CtP2 wallpapers</a> to decorate my desktop, but with my new PC probably arriving this weekend, I'd like to make a fresh start with a new desktop. I really liked the montages of the Succession Games, any change any of you gifted graphics artists (hi Dave! <b></b>) could design a cool Cradle/MedMod/WaW/whatever desktop image for me? I don't have any specific preferences on what it should be like, anything but those cool but worn-out Activision ones will do... I don't know yet what screen resolution I'll be using but if it's made really big (what's standard 'large' these days? 1280x1024, 1200x1600?), it can always be resized...

    Great idea! That would be quite an impressive thing to see I'm sure.

    ooh, while we're there, I think the opening screen of the game could be redesigned as well, without that stupid bloke in the middle, and with some mods/avatars.

      It'll be a few days before I can get to it, but I will do something.

      Meanwhile, here's a little someting I worked on recently while updating my avatar. Ben, I think you will like this (a little something from LOTR/TTT). It makes for a nice desktop

      Here it is...

        Hey, great Of course I understand that that sort of thing would take some time, take all the time you need...

        Aha, I knew I recognized that eye from somewhere... I guess until you can come up with something CtP related it wouldn't be a bad idea to have an LOTR desktop...

                      Dave, I think I already know the answer but formally I have to ask: can I add these to the database?

                        Of course!

                        If there is a call for more subtle desktops, I can tone them down - and also drop the logo too (for the final versions).

                        Whatever you want...

                          I like version 3 best, without the logo perhaps.

                            Well, they're fine to me, but others might like toned down version, you could make both. The more choice the better... I kinda like the logo myself, but it would look good without it as well. Whatever *you* want

                            I too like #3 best, it even looks good on 1600x1200 (the resolution of my new PC), on which I am using it right now

                              1600 x 1200 ouch What size is the monitor? At 17inch i dont think i could see the cursor at that res. In fact it wont go that high.

                              i like desktops with alot of detail on, it gives me something to look at when im bored. And without any corporate logos, nothin too flash.
