Retro Apple Wallpapers

wallpaper sizes

What size/resolution do wallpaper pics need to be to properly fit the 24" iMac.

I'm just asking because the 800x500 seems too small even to fit the little 12" Powerbook screen, without having to stretch it and make it fuzzy.

24" Resolution is 1920x1200. So it would be best if the wallpaper is the same size. (1920x1200) You could also use larger, like 2560x1600 (30"). As long as you keep the 16:10 ratio

Mac II Ols Style Wallpaper Recreation

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 containing many resolutions from 1024 x 768 pixels to 2560 x 1600 pixels here:
