Haiku: Call for Wallpapers
- rangoon626 6y agoSomeone please make these great people a great wallpaper!
- rriepe 6y agoIt's so hard to get attention in October 2020. Great promotional idea.
- kkaranth 6y ago> Send your work to humdingerb (at) gmail and bitigchi (at) me. What domain is the second email address talking about?
- TheSwordsman 6y agoLikely the Apple iCloud domain, me.com
- sz4kerto 6y agome.com, iCloud
- varbhat 6y agoHearing '.wonderbrush' file format for the first time. It seems that wonderbrush is Haiku Graphics Tool. https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/stippi/2012-10-25_new_wonderbrush/ https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/stippi/2012-10-25_new_wonderbr...
- dpedu 6y agoI don't mean for this to be flippant - where is Haiku used today? Does anyone use it to get work done? Desktop or server?
- colesantiago 6y agoHaiku is used in production by TuneTracker Systems (and it's resellers) for radio automation. [0] http://tunetrackersystems.com/ http://tunetrackersystems.com/
- makach 6y agoI love this! Thanks for sharing! Haiku is a beautiful OS.
- lowtech 6y agoWhat a great OS, its low latency make the mouse motion almost instantaneous. I can only imagine what feels like to use it paired with a crt monitor.
- codr7 6y agoI ran BeOS off and on for a couple of years right around the time when they dropped PowerPC for Intel. It truly was awesome, nothing I've used since then made me as happy. Gobe Productive still has a place in my heart. Programming it was madness though, since everything was MT all the time.
- IshKebab 6y agoWhat OS doesn't make mouse motion almost instantaneous? Ok I know Linux sometimes has issues, but Windows and Mac handle this fine.
- peatmoss 6y ago> If you want to go full 90’s, and submit a version suitable for tiled backgrounds, just let us know :). I had entirely forgotten about tiled wallpapers. There used to be a website with tons of melty textured tile wallpapers. Does anyone remember what that was called and if it still exists?
- core-questions 6y agoYou're thinking of Bowie J Poag's Propaganda series, I bet. https://github.com/BenjaminHCCarr/PropagandaTiles https://github.com/BenjaminHCCarr/PropagandaTiles
- peatmoss 6y agoBingo! That’s exactly what I was thinking. Glad to see it still exists somewhere. Hmm... nostalgia might force me to do this. Wonder how they’ll look on my 4k flatscreen.
- core-questions 6y agoThe answer is that they look fantastic.
- Nzen 6y agoI don't know about melty, but I like www.subtlepatterns.com tiles
- lbotos 6y agoI spent a few minutes searching: Where can someone download an SVG of the logo? A google search for Haiku logo doesn't appear to give me an official source for the logo: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Haiku%20logo https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Haiku%20logo I also clicked around the pages, and I found the trademark guide, but no "press kit" or the like.
- rvz 6y agoI googled: 'Haiku Logo SVG' and within literally seconds it brought me to this page [0] and got the logo (in white) from there [1]. That was easier than I expected actually. Although I do agree that they need to sort out an official press images or logos on their site.

- throwanem 6y agoIf anyone involved with the project is reading here - as one of the calls is specifically for variations on the Haiku logo, it would probably be a good idea to provide links to SVG versions of the Haiku logo. That'll definitely lower the barrier to entry for folks looking to do you a free art!

- cogburnd02 6y agoWhy wouldn't they accept png format submissions? I create stuff (mostly super-simple tiled backgrounds) in Kolourpaint and I always save as png.
