Re: Dominions User-Made Banners and Desktops
So I gave you a standard Dom3 desktop... well here is my spin on it. Enjoy your new desktop.
800 x 600
1024 x 768
1280 x 1024
If you have any requests for small scale changes let me know. For example, I can get rid of the transparency on the logo to make it stand out better. Note that the shadow was a practical choice so you can see your icons easier (I assume most people keep them on the left side of the desktop like myself).
I also want to give much credit to Kristoffer Osterman who made the sprites, probably the terrain, the map, the cover, etc. He is very talented and this is really a collage of his work. In other words, he did the hard part. |

Re: Dominions User-Made Banners and Desktops
That's beautiful. I almost feel like changing my Pratchett desktop away. Actually, I think I'll have to do that, even though I really like that.

Re: Dominions User-Made Banners and Desktops
Wow, great work, that is pure poetry to a Dominions fanatic's retinas. 
Don't suppose you had considered doing a widescreen (specifically 16:10 aspect, or 1680x1050) resolution? |

Re: Dominions User-Made Banners and Desktops
Awesome!
I chime in JimMorrison's request for widescreen dimensions like 1440X900.

Re: Dominions User-Made Banners and Desktops

Re: Dominions User-Made Banners and Desktops
Important: For all those who have used the Dominions Desktop 2 (not for widescreen) you should set the image as your desktop again because I noticed a small white line in the upper right and have gone back and fixed it for all resolutions.
Since I can't go back and edit my previous posts, I am going to add a couple links. These are the same as the desktops above except there is no transparency on the logo.
Desktop 2:
800 x 600 solid logo
1024 x 768 solid logo
1280 x 1024 solid logo
Desktop 3 (widescreen):
1440 x 900 solid logo
1680 x 1050 solid logo
Notice: The server I host these images on will be down on January 11th, likely for only a couple days. |
