28 Dec System Preferences Goodie
Category: Goodies, Icon Design, Personal Work, Wallpapers

A while back I also previewed a wallpaper made out of a personal experiment where I recreated Leopard’s awesome System Preferences icon at 2 by 2 meters. Since the detail is sufficient, people requested the wallpaper-sized version. It’s too busy as a wallpaper to my tastes, but with the older aluminium Macs, it’s fun to fullscreen it and create a really big System Preferences icon :)

Grab it here:

And yes, it also serves as a great first test of my inline blog download button!

    Meesterwerk, Sebastiaan. Blij dat je dit “muurpapier” nu ook deelt met anderen.

    Looks great man, love the new site and the wallpaper. Don’t suppose we could get a version before cropping. Like you said it’s a little busy for a wallpaper but it is damn nice to look at and would love to see the full icon.

    The same filling the entire screen would be fine for those whose Dock is displayed only on request.

    At this time it leaves a white area at the bottom of the screen.
