First I wanna apologize for not being able to do my wallpaper article, but I've had way too much on my head. Anyway, what's important is that the last week is now past, so today is time to rock your socks with another wallpaper article :
So 10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ... 6 ... 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... 0 ... Launch!
Houston we have a problem!
This article is milestone one, because I've finished my "Easy to make wallpapers", so I decided not rush with proceeding to "Medium" wallpapers, but to take it easy and tell a bit about every wallpaper, I've shown how to create to this point. So if my memory serves me correctly (I dearly hope that's the case) the first wallpaper I've shown you how to create was this one:
The key word here is simplicity. It is doesn't have flashiness or loads of bling-bling in it, but it has that relaxing feeling due to the colours used it it. When I was creating it I was trying to get used to Gnome-Shell (failed miserably) and I wanted a wallpaper, that will fit the default Dark-ish theme, but I wasn't exactly keen on using the default "Stripes" wallpaper, so I said "Oh, screw it, I'm creating a wallpaper to use with that thing" and I ended up with that one. It is nothing so special, but it is nice way to escape the over-flashy and blingy wallpaper out there.
And so off we go to the next one, which was this lovely "Bubbles" wallpaper:
See, everybody loves bubbles! No really, I have a theory that people who don't like bubbles and pancakes are just evil! Bubbles are cute, round and ... did I mention CUTE? Combing stylish dark background and colourful bubbles this wallpaper is one of my personal favorites. It has enough gloss, it is has colours, it is also by no means cluttered. Gee, it is just so freaking perfect. If I have to describe it with one word, it would be adorable. Just do yourself a major rajor favour and use it for some time, I promise, you'll love it!
If you thought this article couldn't get any better due to the overwhelming of the "Bubbles" wallpaper, see this Novacut wallpaper masterpiece:
Designed specially to for the Novacut guys to congratulate them for achieving their kickstarter goal, I am extremely proud of that wallpaper. The wallpaper uses the Novacut Brand Identity by IZO. Lato font, the novacut purple and pink are all present. Due to the fact that Novacut will be cloud friendly, the wallpaper is also cloud-centric. It is just epic masterpiece. Do try it, you won't regret it :) If you wanna know more about Novacut check out our Novacut article :P
Ok, I might be a huge fan of Novacut (wallpaper), but it's time to move on to the next wallpaper which is also branded one. Remember that the blog name is "Linux Candy"? Good, then it's time to present to you the Linux Candy branded wallpaper:
Like a said it is branded wallpaper, so it uses the Linux Candy branded colours and logo. I spend a lot of time creating that wallpaper, cuz I wanted it to have both - the light and airy feeling, but also to look colour rich. The result is (like you can all see) - WOW! Tell you what - that wallpaper is nothing, but piece of mind. Gradients, colours, splatters, gloss, etc... - it has it all. Just give it a shot and you'll understand my words.
OK, though both my branded wallpaper are some piece of work, it's time to go back the the good old non-branded wallpapers - YAY. And oh my, check this Green Stripes wallpaper out:
I seriously have a crush on that one. Some time ago, I've been dying to stripes wallpaper and I decided to fire away and create one. It is nothing special creation wise, but it looks polished and just so ridiculously simple, that one can't help himself, but just love it. Splatters, transparency, nice colours and sweet lighting effects. The wallpaper has that all. Some piece of work, huh? I beg you to try it, it so ... man I don't know, just TRY IT :D
I admit, this next wallpaper, isn't exactly my brightest hour in wallpaper design, but some of you might actually like it. So I give you the Geometry wallpaper:
If you though the Tree wallpaper was simple, check this out. It is almost as simple as wallpaper can be. The fun story here was that i found it in a folder of a software I was supposed to package, so I can't remember when I've created it. I can't tell you much about him, so I will just say it is S-I-M-P-L-E and leave it to you to judge it :P
Oh man, you can't imagine how good I feel now, after I'm beyond the "Geometry" thing-y, phew. So this next wallpaper is definitely to warm things up. Ready or not here comes my Ubuntu-ish wallpaper:
It sticks to the new Ubuntu Light look and feel - aubergine and orange colours and dotty background. Also as you might have noticed it has the good old bubbles, which make everything look better. The light and darkening effects on the background add extra gloss and some weird 3D feeling to it. So my word for this one would be warm. For those of you who love Ubuntu (like me), this would be a great choice. ... And one more thing - this wallpaper looks stuning with Unity :)
Now it's time to remember the keyword that is always associated with the term"Open Source" - Freedom. It's time to DUEL (too much Yu-Gi-Oh) ... anyway, like I always saying it's time to present you the Freedom wallpaper:
The one thing this wallpaper is not is simple, it is in fact quite the other way around, it is cluttered, but in a good way. The grey background and the chaotic red splatters give it very urban feeling. The 3D looking "Freedom" text and it's almost covered reflection add more the the urban look and feel. It is probably the most unique of all my wallpaper I've posted here to date. I would recommend to try it, some of you might not like it, but others are bound to love it.
Almost at the end. But there are still two more to go, so here is the first one - the amazing Ubuntu stripes wallpaper:
This wallpaper might be just a simple modification on the default Gnome 3 Stripes wallpapers, but it is still one heck of a good wallpaper. I was inspired to created by this OMG! Ubuntu! article because the modification there wasn't as good as it could be, so I fired up and came up with this wallpaper, which is just lovely. I've been using it as my wallpaper for quite some time and trust me this means a thing or two :P
Ahhh, we are at the very end of the article, but I saved the most pink wallpaper for last. First I have to say that I hated myself while creating and writing the tutorial for that wallpaper, but I must say a few words for it too. So here goes - the Girlie wallpaper:
Ok, for start it is just biased pink, but that comes as no surprise, because you know - it's name is "Girlie" :D Man, I don't and I won't talk about this pink thing, it is just PINK (as you MIGHT have noticed). So please, if you are a guy - do not, I repeat DO NOT use it! If you are a girl - well than have fun using it.
So I guess all I have ton say now is "Bye, bye" or something similar, but because I'M COOL you want get "Bye, Bye" from me :D ... See ya :D
So 10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ... 6 ... 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... 0 ... Launch!
