Desktop Backgrounds

2 minute read

Here are some desktop backgrounds I made over the years. They’re not much, but rarely I change desktop background. I even used Windows 11 default theme out of laziness too 😅 (But I admit it’s really good).

Anyway, here are some to download!

Three round lines and four colors, unlimited options! Inspired by the Windows 11 background, I wanted something more minimal and made this in Paint.net. What’s really nice about this is that you can litterally put whatever color you want and have a nice clean background! I tested it on my phone also, picking a vertical slice of it comes out really nice! This wallpaper is in 4K.

I made this because I wanted a nice black backround. To put something in the middle, why not choose the colorful Microsoft Logo? I made this in Paint.net, changing slightly the logo colors to flatten them a bit. This wallpaper is in 4K.

Beaulieu: The Bay of Fourmis

I found this painting on my lockscreen managed by Bing Spotlight. I immediately fell in love with it! It is a painting of Eugène Boudin, exposed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Blue Marble

I have always been fascinated by space exploration. As a kid I always looked up and wondered what the astronauts of Apollo’s missions looked at while travelling on their stunning Apollo Command and Service Module.

This wallpaper is my all time favourite, it is a photo called “Blue Marble” taken in December 7, 1972 by the Apollo 17 crew. I centered it and made the earth look reeeally small, as if we were seeing it from near the moon. This wallpaper is in 4K.

I tried also doing a sketch-up version of the wallpaper, but it did not turn out great and I have basically never used it. However, I think the idea is good and maybe someone who can draw can make a better version!

Equations

For this wallpaper I wanted something like a blackboard on my screen. I searched online and found nothing, but then I realized I already seen something like that! The Telegram app has some cool background patterns and this one was perfect.

I found the pattern file online and with GIMP created some versions of the wallpaper. The first two are FullHD:

equations-big-fullhd-black

This two are FullHD, but the pattern is smaller:

equations-small-fullhd-white

This two are in 4K:
