Tiling Wallpapers. - crshd - 27-07-2012

I'm not only a fan of tiling WMs, but also of tiling Wallpapers. Maybe we can build a little collection of links and self-made patterns.

I'll start with:
http://squidfingers.com/patterns

And a nice one-liner to grab all of them in one go:

Code:
for i in {001..158}; do \
  wget http://www.squidfingers.com/files/patterns/pattern_${i}.zip; \
  unzip pattern_${i}.zip; \
  rm pattern_${i}.zip; \
done

myself.

I like tiling wallpapers, but most of the time I prefer solid colors with a bit of gradient. Some people just have different preferences.

Yeah, nice ones. I like glossy wallpapers.


RE: Tiling Wallpapers. - venam - 03-07-2013

But...some people don't like markdown. "To each their own".

You can still use BBcode.

RE: Tiling Wallpapers. - venam - 11-07-2013

The second tile of kopri is the same as the fith tile in my previous post.


RE: Tiling Wallpapers. - kopri - 11-07-2013

Whoops I'll take it down then! It's a nice tile thought :).


RE: Tiling Wallpapers. - hades - 11-07-2013

Thanks, guys. Downloaded every one of them.

Venam, the one that you posted is especially nice. Here, take my screenshot as a gift.

wrap your image in
Code:
[spoiler][/spoiler]



RE: Tiling Wallpapers. - venam - 12-07-2013

There's a help in the bar not just for show.


RE: Tiling Wallpapers. - hades - 12-07-2013

Thanks, updated my post.

And Venam, I looked in both manages listed under Help. I didn't Ctrl-F "spoiler", Ctrl-F "hide", ect, and skimmed them both and came up with nothing. Perhaps I overlooked it.

You can't (yet) put markdown in bbcode spoilers :(


RE: Tiling Wallpapers. - hades - 13-07-2013

There's lots of texture wallpapers in various sizes here:
http://wallpaperscraft.com/catalog/textures

For the 1600x900 resolution there are ~1800 pictures in the category. I downloaded the entire thing and other categories besides. It makes for a nice collection of wallpapers to cycle through at random. :)
