Hi,
There are 21 default background images included in Transparency!, some of them are great and some of them are of a slightly less quality.
Regardless of this, most of them will have to go.

So i'm looking for new ones. If you've got some great looking images and would like them to be included in Transparency! please post them here.
The images should be .jpg files with a size of 1280x720.

important:
Please only post images that are 'public domain' 'free to use' or artwork you've created yourself.
Don't post any images you have found on the internet, without proper permission to use this image from the owner of the artwork!

I'm looking for backgrounds in these categories:
- games
- login screen
- movies
- music
- pictures
- programs
- scripts
- settings
- tv shows
- videos
- weather

Cheers,
ronie

Here is a link to a website with a lot of high resolution public domain photos.

Photos8.com (http://www.photos8.com/electronics-desktop-wallpapers.html)

The images will probably need to be cropped to 1080p or 720p but from what I saw they are images very similar to what you are currently using.

It may be worth a looksee. :)

I'd suggest that once you find a set that you like, you color correct/tint them a little to bring a unified color scheme to your skin.

See => http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=110

This is a whole thread dedicated for links to sites that hosts royalty-free, public domain (free licenses), or non-copyrighted digital 'clip-art' and images/pictures that skinners, and graphical-artists/designers can use in their skins free of charge (libre/gratis) and without having to worry about any legal issues

It also discusses what is gray-zone and what is still OK to use in a skin even if it is copyrighted.
