Searching for retro iMac G3 bubbles wallpaper

[jonharris200]

A guy was showing me an old iMac G3 recently - it was a pink or grape colour. On booting, the desktop showed a wallpaper with bubbles (I think?) on it. The wallpaper was the exact same colour as the iMac's enclosure. He said this was one of the clever features of these G3s, that the wallpaper always matched the enclosure.

Where can I download this wallpaper in Strawberry, Grape, Lime, Tangerine, Indigo or other Apple-released retro iMac colours?

I've spent a couple of hours searching in vain online. Can anyone help...?

They come on the Mac OS 9.x iMac CD's. If you can find one of those, you're set.

They come on the Mac OS 9.x iMac CD's. If you can find one of those, you're set.

If I find a system with OS 9 installed, will it have the full set on that machine with every colour, or just the colour wallpaper relevant to that machine?

Surely they must be online somewhere too, but I've done countless searches with OS 8, 9, Classic etc in the search queries - without success.

Thanks for your help.

Lime Horizon
Extra Green

Strawberry Baby
Indigo Foam
Grape Mission

Grape Gravity
Ruby Foam
Strawberry Parabola

Can your email take a 2.6 MB zip file? Or perhaps there's a good place to host it. I have the rest of the desktops that came with OS 9 too if you're interested.

Oh yes, my partner had the strawberry iMac G3 DV when I met her - with matching strawberry wallpaper, strawberry imac keyboard, and strawberry hockey puck mouse

We still have it upstairs, and I have the entire wallpaper collection on my PB G4. I have 22 apple iMac colour wallpapers - rather more than you - and the apple UFO set, and a few others. I'm happy to upload them somewhere if you post or PM me with instructions.

Hi cells and RedTomato

I've PM-ed you both. Grateful for your assistance. Thanks to the other contributors on this thread too. Seems like I'm not the only one who appreciates these.
