We’re starting the new year off with a brand new calendar wallpaper.  This time we went all out and made one for those of you sporting dual monitor setups.  This design started with an idea I started playing with a couple months ago for a blog background.  It didn’t work for that, but I came back to the idea when I wanted to change my logon screen background.  After that, I wanted to experiment with turning it into a wallpaper that spanned my dual monitors.  The only real driving design idea was to keep it dark so it doesn’t light the entire room at night with the lights out, which is often my goal when designing wallpapers.

If you’re using the dual monitor version, the left contains the January calendar.  There isn’t a dual monitor option without a calendar, sorry.  All other sizes have a calendar and no calendar option, including the iPhone version.  Dark Clouds comes in the following sizes:

Standard
1600×1200
1280×960
1024×768

Widescreen
1920×1200
1440×900

iPhone
320×480

Ho Ho Ho!  Merry Non-Denominational Winter Holiday!

As we teased last week, here’s the full archive of all 50 light textures that we’ve posted in two parts (you can check out previews of part one here, and part two here).  But, because you waited patiently and were such good little boys and girls, we bundled a special surprise into your stocking: you can also download a bonus snow texture pack featured below.  You can see one of these textures in action in our popular holiday Blogger template, Advent.  Snow is often challenging to find good textures of because it’s not something you can point-and-shoot.  Without manual adjustment, photographs of snow will come out gray, because cameras look for light and dark and take the average when they are making their light readings.  So we’re pretty pleased with how these pics came out and hope you like them as well.
