Apple's latest and greatest OS X operating system was just released on Friday, and I still have yet to pick up my copy. But one thing I can't wait to get my hands on is the pretty new wallpapers that come with Snow Leopard. Thankfully you can download the new desktop pictures in full resolution for free, so you can update your boring background with something fresh and fun for Fall!

Font Geeks Unite: TypeNuts' Designy iPhone Wallpapers

GeekSugar — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 13:05:14 -0700

Free iPhone wallpapers are rarely outrageously beautiful, so when I find a collection of them that are, I go nuts with them.

Whereas before my best resource was Poolga, I now have a second option.

TypeNuts also has a reserve of gorgeous, rich, high-res images, and like Poolga, they're totally free.

But that's not even my favorite part: the wallpapers on TypeNuts all share a theme of using type and font-based designs.

I'm an addict, and this only my latest fix.

Beautify Your Desktop With Kindred Wallpapers

GeekSugar — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 10:06:40 -0700

Two friends, sharing similar passions, yet living thousands of miles apart, decided to create small artistic projects together. The name of their project is Kindred (for their kindred spirit friendship - anyone see Anne of Green Gables?), with the first installment consisting of beautiful artistic wallpapers. The theme of the wallpapers is "Winter: Dreams" and includes five divine wallpapers. Just click on the arrows at the top left of the page to advance to the next wallpaper, and click on the correct wallpaper size below to get the perfect fit for your desktop. To save, right click and "set as desktop background" or drag to your desktop. An easy and inexpensive way to add some artistic love to your laptop or computer.

Have You Ever Put Your Own Pic on Your Computer Desktop?

At right is an image from this month's Harper's Bazaar featuring Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi. Beautiful home, beautiful woman, and she appears to know it: She has a portrait of herself above her bed, and to my surprise, a rather glam digital portrait of herself on her computer's desktop, seen here.

I have put photos of myself and other people on my desktop, but I don't think I would like to see a picture of myself gazing sexily at me when I'm using my computer. But maybe it's a good affirmation for some - or is it overblown narcissism?

Do you ever put pictures of just yourself on your desktop?

Desktop Wallpaper You Need: The Costanza

GeekSugar — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 14:40:17 -0700

The appeal of changing your desktop wallpaper is obvious - it's free, it's easy, and you get a mental refresher every time you look at your computer screen, which is something most of us have to do all day. Sometimes we stick to ones we like for a long time, and sometimes you're in the mood to switch it up, as I am now. Usually I go for a fun design, but today? I am all Costanza.

Sure, you can get any of the Seinfeld characters for your desktop, but do you need anyone besides George Costanza, he of the Greatest Answering Machine Message Ever? I think not.

Geek Out: What's Your Desktop Wallpaper?

GeekSugar — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:43:44 -0700

I love seeing the offices of design mavens because they inevitably have some fabulous desktop wallpaper on the screen for the photo op, always something that complements the rest of the design of the office.

Case in point: Making it Lovely's Nicole shared her office recently, and my eye gravitated immediately to her Mac and the art on her desktop, the colors of which coordinate with the dominant pinks and reds of her office space.

I too enjoy a pretty, serene wallpaper as the setting for the madness that takes place on top of it; right now I can't seem to shake the Kaiku Marimekko pattern. Other times, I want to see a family pic stretched across my monitor, and sometimes I crave a simple, solid color to calm me. And I am not opposed to a really high-res photo of a flower (shoot, I am a girl).

But I'm curious about everyone else, since I think your computer's desktop wallpaper says a lot about you; What's yours?

Oh Happy Day: Freaks and Geeks Desktop Wallpapers

GeekSugar — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:45:04 -0700

Because I'm on a Freaks and Geeks viewing kick, I dug these up for the loyal fans - and if you know F&G, you're a diehard - who are more geeky than freaky. There's 30 fabulous free Freaks and Geeks desktop wallpapers to choose from; I plan on rotating them according to my moods, like say, when I get picked last for dodgeball.

Oh, seeing their shiny faces makes me feel like they never went off the air and are instead living some awesome fictional life, where Lindsay Weir went with her math instincts and represented with an adult-geek-girl job, and Bill Haverchuck became my BFF.
