These are pretty neat. I think it'd be neat if you made large versions for
desktop backgrounds (1600x1200 preferably, 1024x768 doesn't really cover
everyone, and we can always make it smaller if necessary =)

Cool

I know people who wear earrings that look like that. But they look millions
of times better as abstract art than ear lobe ornaments.

Windows does have a 'stretch to fit' option for wallpapers,
and uses bilinear resampling to do so, so a 1024x768 image
can look decent even at 1920 x 1440.

Not my version of Windows.. Maybe XP? But my motto is: Never trust
non-specialized software, such as Windows, to do things such as graphics.

A 1024 image strecthed to 1152 doesn't look good at all on my win2k..

Wasn't stretching introduced in Win98? It's in win2k too, (the
stretch-option has disapperead at my computer at work.. strange..)  I like
using a smaller image (works best with an abstract image) and stretch it,
because then you don't have to use 5mb of memory for a wallpaper you rarely
look at :-)

Sure, the stretch button is found in Win98 but it doesn't use 'bicubic
resampling' but a cruel 'nearest neighbour' and looks horrible. As I would
expect.  :o)
