Desktopbackground January

In the year 2005, DirtE19 designed and printed a real full-blown calendar. It wasn't perfect, but it was pretty damn sweet. However, we ended up with a lot of unsold copies. Basically, you want your calendars ready at last at the end of September, and by December, January the lastest all your copies should be sold. Nobody is buying a calendar after that anymore. And because of the problems we had that first year we did it, we never actually produced a calendar again, which I think is a shame.

This is where the idea for this project came about. I'm going to try to put a new desktopbackground online for every month, preferrably with a pictures shot the month before.

Sure, since it's almost February, this project didn't really get a good start, but hopefully the next 11 months I'll do better.


Technical info:
for ideal size, you should know what resolution your screen has. To find out what resolution your monitor has in windows XP, you go to your desktop, right-click it. Then click "properties". Then go to the last tab. You should see a slider, and your screen resolution is right underneath it.

In het Nederlands:
om te weten welke resolutie je scherm heeft, rechtsklik op je bureaublad, klik op "eigenschappen", en dan op da tab "instellingen". Daar zie je een schuiver met daaronder je schermresolutie.

I don't have Vista, so I don't know if it's the same or not, maybe someone with vista can check for me.



anyway, on to the pictures:

here's a small version, so you know what it sort of looks like:



To get the fullsize backgrounds:
(righ-click the link, then "save as")

1280*800px (this will work for most 15" widescreen laptops)

1680*1050px (for larger widescreen monitors)

1280*1024px (for larger 4:3 monitors)

1024*768px (will work on most older 4:3 monitors)


There's countless other resolutions out there, and I'm not gonna make all of them if nobody wants it. So check what resolution you have, and post a comment to request a custom resolution.
