Two sets of iPhone wallpapers, including SuicideGirls

by Mike Schramm (Jul 4th, 2007)

iPhone eye candy (or should that be iCa... oh never mind) is starting to roll in. Wes (thanks!) dropped us this "very nice selection" of specially sized wallpaper. Most of it seems to be about birds, but there are a few cool non-bird shots included as well. And Sarah from SuicideGirls says she's a ...

Images from the web as iPhone wallpaper

by Dave Caolo (Jul 2nd, 2007)

Last week, we pointed out the good news that The Iconfactory had resized their entire collection of desktop images for use with the iPhone (how cool does Nibbler look on my iPhone at right? Very cool). The problem is that it's kind of a pain to get them onto your iPhone. The method I came up with is ...

iPhone wallpapers

by Scott McNulty (Jun 27th, 2007)

While you're waiting to get your hands on an iPhone, why not head on over to the Iconfactory? They just announced iPhone versions of each of their free, high quality, wallpaper images. The pixel pushers over there took the time to artfully crop each image into an iPhone worthy piece of art. At least ...

TUAW Desktop of the Week

by David Chartier (May 13th, 2007)

This week's TUAW Desktop is a bit on the dark side ladies and gents; dark and interesting. Titled Blackness and Hailing from Flickr user Matt Lew (who *ahem* failed to include any details of what he has going on here), the primary ingredient here is the Ecto Wallpaper Pack which can be had at ...

Desktop of the Week for 4/22 - 4/28/07

by David Chartier (Apr 22nd, 2007)

This week's TUAW Desktop hails from Flickr user brianpunx and makes use of a number of Mac OS X software and icons which brianpunx was kind enough to list (hint: that makes my job easier when picking a TUAW Desktop of the Week, though it doesn't influence my decision). First, it's running a ...

iLounge announces iPhone contest

by Dave Caolo (Feb 22nd, 2007)

How'd you like to be the first one on your block to own an iPhone? Now imagine getting that iPhone for free. It could happen if you win iLounge's new wallpaper contest. The rules are simple: Create a high-resolution desktop picture featuring any current iPod model and the iLounge logo. The iLounge ...

Desky: drag and drop to change desktop wallpaper

by David Chartier (Feb 21st, 2007)

A while ago we found an Automator action that lets you drag and drop images to set them as your desktop background. No fuss, and no clunky System Preferences pane. I didn't notice it at the time, but TUAW reader Tice commented with a link to his little app, named Desky, that can do the same thing ...

Visage Login - customize Mac OS X's login screen

by David Chartier (Dec 4th, 2006)

If the design of Apple's Mac OS X login screen just isn't floatin' yer boat, Visage Login might be worth a look. With two separate versions - one for 10.4 and another for 10.1-10.3 - this is one of the few apps I remember where 10.3 users have some features to brag about over Tiger users. As an app ...

TUAW Desktop of the Week - Happy Puppy

by David Chartier (Dec 3rd, 2006)

Since we've already taken care of the holiday-themed Desktop of the Week, we can get back to the fundamentals of the ideal desktop like function, form - and a happy puppy! Flickr user bc_lau wins the award for *almost* making me spit out my morning coffee with a desktop like this. Besides a happy ...

TUAW Desktop of the week for 11/12/06

by David Chartier (Nov 12th, 2006)

I know I know, it's a slight bit early for holiday-themed desktops, but there's enough cleverness going on here that I thought it warranted a TUAW Desktop of the Week award anyway. Flickr user rVEO has more than just a pretty wallpaper going on in Xmas Mac - you're witnessing the powers of Sno, ...

Change desktop wallpaper with an Automator action

by David Chartier (Jul 28th, 2006)

Sometimes randomly rotating your desktop wallpaper through the Desktop System Preferences pane is just a little overkill. Wouldn't it be nice if you had a simple drag-and-drop Automator action for setting your own wallpaper whenever your heart desired a change of pace? Then why not use this ...

Widget Watch: iPhoto mini 1.3 gains a new UI, more

by David Chartier (May 23rd, 2006)

We blogged the iPhoto mini widget back in December, and since then it has received quite the feature update and face lift. The widget is now resize-able and just plain sexier. In addition to being able to browse all your iPhoto albums complete with image counts, you can now set the current image as ...
