This is a recreation of those Old style Mac II Wallpapers but in modern high resolution. It is not an exact duplicate but it's very close. It was created at high resolution in two renderings, one for 4:3 (square) monitors and another for widescreen monitors. It was created using Blender. Actually I'm not sure if the original was a wallpaper or a picture that was used to show the Mac II color prowess but it was hard to see a brochure or photo of the Mac II not showing one of those pictures so it might bring back fond memories for some Macintosh users. I hope that the Mac community enjoys it.

You can download a zip file with many resolutions from 1024 x 768 all the way to 2560 x 1600. The wallpapers have low compression to preserve a high quality. It's available here:

Improved

I improved that Mac II retro wallpaper that I did to make it more like the original. It is still not exact but much more closer to the original and the widescreen versions resemble it more now. You can find it in the same places in Deviantart and Mediafire:

I also did a new Mac retro wallpaper in Blender that is more elaborate and you can find it too in my gallery in Deviantart and in Mediafire.
