I make OS Backgrounds!

Are you making an OS and need some backgrounds? Well, you've come to the right place.

All you need to do is tell me the color scheme and I'll make some.  big_smile
Default size is 480x360. If you need it in any other size please tell me.

Here are a few examples:

Re: I make OS Backgrounds!

If it would be easy for you, could you make one like the first one but with more blue and shades of blue? (Main color: royal blue.) I want it at a high resolution so I can use it as my wallpaper. My current one is getting boring.

Again, please only do this if it is easy for you and won't take too long.

Thanks in advance.  smile

No problem! I'll supply it at a resolution of 2400x1800 -- you'll need to scale it yourself, as I don't know your exact screen resolution.  smile

2400x1800 is fine - I'm running one monitor at 1280x1024 and another at 1400x1050. If you want to make it more panoramic, that's fine - but again, please don't do that if it will take too much time or you already started one at 2400x1800.

I think I'll continue with the 2400x1800; your computer should have a setting where it automatically scales your background to your screen size.

The render will take 3 hours, and it's 9pm here; my mom'll chase me to bed before the render will finish. I'll have it up by tomorrow though.

OS is an abbreviation for Operating System. The 2 most common are Windows and iOS. Scratchers tend to make their own OS' in Scratch, and sometimes they have difficulty finding/making backgrounds for it. That's why I'm here!  big_smile

Re: I make OS Backgrounds!

Thank you! The black part really brings out my icons.  smile
Here's a screenshot of how I have it with icons turned off:

Monitor 2 has my icons.

Once again, thank you!  smile

Re: I make OS Backgrounds!

Cool backrounds! Which program do you use?
And if you have time, could you make one which looks old, like old paper with nice symbols or something like that? I might use it for my next game (not an OS, but it needs a background ;D)

Re: I make OS Backgrounds!

Hello. I am making my own OS, Sunspot ele. I have some basic nature backrounds but it would be SUPER helpful if I could have a custom color backround. If it is possible, Could you have red and green or red and yellow? Thanks.
