    I got kinda bored and I saw a wallpaper just like this on deviantart so I decided to remake it in the proper size for a 15" MBP (1440x900) and upload the PSD for anyone who cares to change colors. It's a mix of the time machine background, the old OS X 10.4 background, and an apple logo (which was slightly modified...oooooooh, that takes a good 2 minutes).

    I'm sure many of you are wondering why I made this...and I don't know. But I did.

    Nicely done. I actually like yours better than altezza69's. It's more vibrant. Although, altezza69's logo is more glossy.

    I like it. Thanks for sharing. I'll add it to my wallpaper library; one can never have enough backgrounds.

    Glad you like it :). I love apple's images...they're always so clean. Makes them much easier to work with. Actually I like OS X more than vista in general =\. I'll try to work on making some others when I have time.

    Arkit3kt: Check the image again, I darkened the blacks on the logo and tried to fix up the gloss. I think it looks much better with the deeper blacks now.

    Nicely done. Can you make some for other widescreen resolutions, including 1280x800, 1680x1050, and 1920x1200?

    Still looking for the tiger/panther wallpaper in a higher resolution. 1600 x 1024 is the biggest I have found. I did manage to find the time machine wallpaper in 1920 x 1200, though.
