Simple Arch wallpaper 1600x900 (v1)

Simpler Arch symbol versions here

Tarball of all images 1600x900 (v1 + v2): jnU7z7L.png

Gimp XCF file in case you want to make your own (all layers and groups included - full HD 1920x1080): hf67ZVw.pngv1.3

Hi all,

I'm a bit of a newbie to Arch, couldn't find a good 1600x900 wallpaper so I made a few myself using the Arch colours.
They are simply the various styles of the Arch logo centred on the Arch coloured backgrounds (not sure if it has been made before - apologies if it has)

These look great, thanks! I downloaded my two favorites.

My only suggestion is that I think the transitions in the vignette could be smoother.

Anyway, thank you. smile

@kaipee
It does not matter if it has been made before or not. It is a community contribution and you are always welcome. By the way nice work though. Thank you. smile

Excellent. Minimalism is something that we should.

Thanks for the feedback guys, nice to see someone else use them

@drcouzelis Yeah, GIMP doesn't seem to be able to 'smooth out' the vignette very easily. I'll try to add a blur effect or something also, to try to smooth it (I use that one too)

@drcouzelis I've now tweaked the gradient by adding noise and a blur to it. It should be a little less 'bandy' now

Re: Simple Arch wallpaper 1600x900 (v1)

Hey, looks wonderful. The downside is that it's only 1600x900, my laptop's internal display resolution is 1680x1050 and the external one has 1920x1080. I would also like to use these wallpapers for ksplash insead of OxyArch theme's background.png which unfortunately doesn't support widescreen so the original background stretches unnaturally to fill a widescreen display. After upscalling it looks a bit blurry, so could you plese post also FullHD versions? Thanks!

Awesome thanks, downloading each one individually would have been time consuming lol
