ABSOLUTELY WICKED interlaced wallpaper.

Ok guys I need some help,... I just signed up, but I have been on customize.org for 3 years,

yeah all the way back in '99. I used the 'oldskool papers heavily; "Inside", "Dazed", "don't", deviant run factor, etc, all the oldskool stuff, I love it.

Now there were 2 wallpapers that never left my side, these 2 wallpapers were twins, very similar.
They were my favorite out of 1.5gb's of wallpaper.


BUT! I formatted recently, and guess what both my backup wallpaper CD's (they are old) finally would not read anymore due to scratches.

I could not salvage my 2 favourites.
My problem: I dont know their names, can someone help; here is a brief description;

(PS I have been into wallpapers since 1995, and had a collection of 1.5gb's worth, now when I say these 2 wallpapers were *very* good with XP (almost designed prematurely for the *blue* look, believe me, so p[lease help.)

Truly they were classics.

Okay they were twins, but do not feature on the first few pages of customize, (im on 56k, cannot wade through 6500)

They were simply gradients of *electro luminescent* blue, ranging left to right, darker to lighter. Both had the same *identical* background,
*interlaced* (similar to futureweb or inside, but obviously not similar in colour)

but one had a vague swirl centred, very blurry, yet circular-ish. Almost a spinning *very vague* gas, purely coloured in a blurry white-light blue.

the other had a very linear defined set of hexagons (4 of them) centred, exactly in the place where the other had the *gas*.

The backgrounds were identical. WHen I say background, it really just was a mesh of interlaced blue.

They are of the futureweb/inside era, and save as untitled.bmp's

They were very clean looking, just one colour: lightblue. I.e. no vectors, no photo enhcmnts. just interlaced blue! They had a kind of scientific, clean lab desktop look.

The best I can describe is it was similar to Microsoft's ie6 logo,.. i.e. on their ie6 webpage, the interlaced blue ie graphic.


Can anyone help with the names?

so, there's a gradient and a swirl, with lines or hexagons. That's only about 40% of all wallpapers. I like Compo's suggestion. Nobody's going to remember what you are referring to specifically.


.rawk on.

he can because both compo and I meant sort them on the website, not on his computer. there's going to be some searching involved, and he should find somebody with a decent connection and look then.

.rawk on.

I think he means sort the walls on the site, not his PC.

It'd be easier if the search feature covered everything on the wallpaper page. I was trying to see what else Giraffe had done yesterday but couldn't get the User area of the site to work so I typed in Giraffe on a search and it came back with nothing!

well sorted by rank I got to about 3000, where the monica lewinskies and hasish leaves start, but theres no sign of them,

Im really surprised there not on customize, they were excellent, damn. I actually printed them out once, maybe if I scan one in you guys'll know and maybe recognize it?

damn I dont even have a scanner, ill see.
