ccoltmanm Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Inspired by the rumor of the Windows 8 wallpaper, found here, http://www.neowin.ne...-wallpaper-here, I thought I'd start a thread dedicated to the search for the best default wallpaper. So, please post what you think should be the default Windows 8 wallpaper. Remember, it should probably be gender neutral, business and home friendly, available to all age of users, and probably not very busy. Please post serious wallpapers, not your favorite, try to put your mind into the billion windows users. I'll get us started.

Max Norris Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Eh personally the one rumored above is fine for a default, seen better, seen worse. It's one of the first things I change anyway along with the theme after installing whatever OS. Some are just fussing way too much about it, it's just a wallpaper.. besides, it's impossible to please everybody, no matter what they pick somebody's going to find fault with it. oliver182 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1094093-what-should-be-the-default-windows-8-wallpaper/#findComment-595036879 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Norris Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hey, either play the game or take your psychology degree elsewhere. Huh. Thought I made myself clear what I thought it should be, namely the one rumored that you linked looked fine. If that's not good enough, lets try this one then. http://img210.images...wallpaperkg.png Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1094093-what-should-be-the-default-windows-8-wallpaper/#findComment-595036899 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RvXtm Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 It seams Microsoft decided not to update the icons to the flat UI. It will look odd in context with the new theme.
