Sweet, carbon fiber! Thanks for making this wallpaper.

Thanks! This is really cool. Maybe I should stop commenting on desktops and do my work!

Just put it on as my background and I do feel the motivation. Great wallpaper for a 19'' at 1440x900.

Ha, what timing. Then it seems I must go back to the Russian Literature essays. *shakes fist* :P

This is by far the most amazing wallpaper ever made. It made me laugh and call my girlfriend in from the other room to look. :P

Any chance you can customize a wallpaper for me with the line :

"Between the great things we cannot do and the small things we will not do, the danger is that we shall do nothing."
~Adolph Monod

O R

"The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do."

I love it! It's so simple and to the point. It's great. I'm sure it will help me stay on task. Thanks!

I LOVE IT. one of the top five best wallpapers ever made.

Its great idea. Yet there is problem - its hidden behind browser =/ =)

Excellent desktop, Spargett! Incidentally, I was trying to do a carbon fiber pattern last week, but couldn't get it looking quite right. This one is very good, though! (and I agree with davidjoyce and dariusksmith, too :-) )

Thanks for the comments guys. Here's the requested desktops for "stevemelnykevich":

You should make customized wallpapers for people who want different quotes!

Very nice :)

I'd love to see one that said:

CONSULTING

If you're not a part of the solution,there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem.



That would be halarious :)

another great saying would be:

Procrastination

Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.



Love the wallpaper though... great job!

And they say Brazilians are lazy... :P

The best way would be a wallpaper generator. Everyone could type in their sayings and generate a similar wallpaper like yous!

can you make the background blue? black hurt my eye

thank

Brilliant and effective.

Hi,

very good work! I love it. But is it possible to create a different background? Black is to black ;-)

Nice wallpaper.
Might be an idea to put the photoshop-file online (if it's made in photoshop in the first place ;-) ), so everyone can make the version he wants. Just a thougt...

Very motivational and an incredible texture! Thanks so much for posting it!

Being a producer, I need stuff like this to help me stay focused on my work! +10000! Thanks a million!

I just found my new wallpaper !

Thanks :-)

Hahaha, great wallpaper. Hopefully it helps me.

Hey guys, I've created an open source photoshop template of the "Motivational Desktop". You are free to download and edit it as you see fit.

That's just great, thanks a lot :-)

Tremendous work - you rock!!

thanks for the template! Out of curiousity, what font did you use? I like your font, but it says it's missing...

This desktop has found a new home on my 22inch monitor at home and work. Great stuff, thanks!

Instant motivation, thank you!

Wow, this shot to the top...I imagine it will stay there a while, too! Great wallpaper.

Oh right, I should get back to work.

Me likey, good job.

Excellent! :-D Thanks both for making this awesome wallpaper and for your willingness/flexibility to share it out.

One of my favs.

Wow, real nice. Any chance that somebody could add the phrase,

Work hard, Play hard.

Thanks

Awesome wallpaper, thanks for your generosity. I'm in my last year of school and this is definately the most appropriate wallpaper I've had, whilst being fun at the same time. It's been a great hit with my friends, they all love it too and I've passed it over to so many people in my grade, top job mate!

Vanessa,
Australia =)

Ha. This is so perfect for me.

My graphics teacher would love it.

Thanks man, your keeping me on track. :)

Could you make one with the quote...

"Everything great is just as difficult to realize as it is rare to find."

Hey! Please make one wallpaper for me with text: Teele, I love you forever!

Thanks!

Very nice~~~

Again, I've created an open source version in PSD format. It can downloaded from the link below:

This wallpaper was featured on dl.tv with Patrick Norton during a short segment about 40 minutes in about InterfaceLIFT. Congratulations, Spargett!

You're not alone in your dilemma!

Made me lol... now that I have downloaded, back to biology homework ;-)

Congratulations! I made a similar wallpaper for myself some time ago, but yours is so much better in graphics, that I can only salute you. Thanks for posting .psd file too! Great job!

Would it be possible to get one without the text? Thanks

fantastic idea!
o just love it!
:P

This was awesome. It helped me get through studying for Spring semester finals. :-)

WOW amazing carbon fiber!!!! Can you plz customize one for me with red carbon fiber!

hey..very nice work..i just have a question..i only use 4:3 res so i have trouble editing the open source one you gave..when i edit it and try to change the ratio the quality of the background is not as fine as the orig one..so i dont know what to do since i have little knowledge on photoshop..can you tell me how to do that(maintain the quality)?..or if possible can you just upload another one with 4:3 ratio?..i really like this one..thanks!..

hey this wallpaper is awesome. I love it. Is there any chance at all you could make one with the quote "All you dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them" ?? Thanks so much.

Very Cool. I'm not sure how to modify that image to a blue background with the words: "Get a free ipod touch here: http://freeipodtouch.blogspot.com/ ". Could you please make me one? Thanks! :)

I need one that says, "Go to sleep already. YOU NEED IT!

best

Oh brilliant :D Tx man... Just what I needed :P Now lets get back to learning my chemistry test.... xD

Awesome wallpaper..i hope it will work on me :)

I wish there was a 2560 x 1600 option. :(

;-( I hate SAT's

Man, i dont know whats better this wallpaper or how your willing to help people out :) I currently have the Adolph Monod quote as my wallpaper, but once i get bored of that ill be going back to your original one.

Thanks mate! As Kurufinve said... i wish it will work for me 2 hahha

You probably get this a hundred times now, but meh. Thanks so much. This is just brilliant stuff! Thanks for giving us the PSD as well! Hats off to you!

Could you please customize me this wallpaper with the line:
"I don't know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." ~ Albert Einstein

Should look like this:
"I don't know with what weapons World War III will be fought,
but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." ~ Albert Einstein

(when the first part of the sentence is up to the ,
and the rest is in the second line (inc. the ~ Albert Einstein)

Thanks in Advance,
Ben

P.S
I would have made it myself but i can't find any place to download the font used. And again, Thanks in Advance.
