Asking because I only recently realized that I’ve been running KDE default wallpapers for over a year without noticing. I’m also debating whether to switch to something more “fun” and aligned to my hobbies

As far as I’m aware, popular OSes/DEs tend to have a healthy selection of high-quality default wallpapers, and some OSes/DEs even have wallpaper “shops”. So I’d like to ask what you all use! If you are using a custom one, love to hear where/why you got it.

If you want to share your custom wallpaper feel free to

Edit: thank you all! I didn’t realize how many of you use solid colors… as well as the number of people who don’t think too much about wallpapers since you don’t look at it often (frankly the same for me). For the ones who shared: thanks a ton. Also fun story: there was a recurring joke on r/Unixporn about anime wallpapers but I guess it is not remotely as popular outside of the ricing community

    At work, all black

    Not sure that this requires an example, but since I’m doing example images for some other comments, for consistency:

    $ convert -size 200x200 "xc:black" example.png

      Lol that’s the exact same as voyagers background colour in dark mode.

      I almost thought the link was broken.

        The next question will be everyone’s Threadiverse client background color.

      Ok, but I can also just choose the color directly and not set an image as a wallpaper. I appreciate your effort, but what is the advantage here to tiling a PNG?

        It’s also useful when you pick a wallpaper e.g. in your file browser or an image viewer, as opposed to going somewhere else to view the color.

        I’m not suggesting you use it. I’m putting visible color swatches for people to see in the thread. Black’s pretty straightforward, of course.
