Post your 800x480 backgrounds/wallpapers

Like the title says, post your 800x480 backgrounds or wallpapers suitable for use with IceWM, KDE Advanced Desktop, Ubuntu, Windows or whatever other OS you are running!   Let's see how creative you can be with this limited screen real estate.

Here's my collection on Flickr.

[edit]: corrected from 800x400. Ooops!

Edit2: Corrected your title too!

Re: Post your 800x480 backgrounds/wallpapers

For the Xandros easy mode you don't really want 800x480 images either, as the background is scaled to fit between the top and bottom menu bars.  The image should be approximately 800x422 to avoid scaling.  (I can't measure accurately with mpaint.)

Edit: here are mine, which are 800x480 (I did them before I checked how AsusLauncher displayed them):

I now may rotate it with some of Paul's. Nice work Maddox! ;-)

All of the OS X wallpapers are now available for use as Eee PC backgrounds as well.

I was playing around in Photoshop late last night and made something a little trippy.

Re: Post your 800x480 backgrounds/wallpapers

Here's a wallpaper image I made from a photo taken at a friend's retirement last year from the Marines at Camp Pendleton. Just as the ceremony concluded, a squadron of Cobras was coming back from a deployment in Iraq, and I was lucky enough to get some really great photos of their formation flying. This is a crop of one of the photos.

I've made another one with the Cobras I really like:

Here is a wallpaper image I made from a photo I took of an old door and wall in New Orleans. Lots of neat colors.

Here are two I took in Washington, D.C. The first is of the Marine Monument, although not a view most people would be used to. The second is for the Viet Nam Vets: thank you, guys! As a former Marine and as an American, I am proud of our veterans and their service to our country.

Re: Post your 800x480 backgrounds/wallpapers

Here's a 5.5 MB zip file with a bunch of 800x480 wallpapers:

http://www.zeroradiusgames.com/eee/eee_wps.zip

It's all fantasy/sci-fi women. Tasteful, but there is some skin. All of them are cropped images from this thread (note: some of the images are borderline NSFW, but there is no actual nudity):

Re: Post your 800x480 backgrounds/wallpapers

Hey there, I noticed you said you didn't have an accurate measurement of the bkg settings. Using photoshop, I got 800*423 thats also the size I use for my Eee PC interactive Demo. Your measurement is probably just fine though too.

Re: Post your 800x480 backgrounds/wallpapers

But that is just for the Easy Mode-WPs, the "IceWM, KDE Advanced Desktop, Ubuntu, Windows or whatever other OS you are running"-measurements are still 800x480.
