Let's make a GENERIC online backdrop repository?

Nazgulled · 2009-04-07, 18:51

I don't know if there are people out there like me but I, for one, prefer generic backdrops than to have random backdrops of movies, TV shows or bands that are not part of my library.

I prefer to have generic stuff... But it's getting hard to find high quality 1080p generic images to use as backdrops.

Maybe we could use this thread to post generic backdrops for users that prefer them? Or maybe I'm the only one that prefers this?

Anyway, I created some sort of "repository" in my Windows Live SkyDrive account, hopefully, people can help me fill it up with high quality generic backdrops.

I would also like generic backdrops

I mostly created this thread for people that have some, to share, because I can't find that many...

Nazgulled · 2009-04-08, 03:50

I decided to create one anyways... It's almost empty right but I hope people can help me fill it up with good quality backdrops... Check first post for link. I have a few for music that I have yet to upload, but will in a few hours.

If anyone is interested I've created a "General/Other" category for these types of backdrops.

http://www.htbackdrops.com/categories.php?cat_id=4

Feel free to upload (add a few relevant keywords to help people search)
1080p or 720p images welcome.

Also added a category for square music artist thumbs.

I think you missed the point of these generic backdrops. One "general/other" category does not suffice, at least for me.

Like I said I would, I have updated a few music backdrops, the ones I had with me and one backdrop for games.

It's on the link above of course.

How can I upload some Backdrops?
I like your idea, I prefer fix backdrop for each category, too...

To the link I posted above you can't. That's my Windows Live ID account, to htbackdrops you simply need to register and upload. But if you send them to me, I'll upload them.

UPDATE:
- Added 2 more to the Music section
- The "violin" one was replaced by the original 1080p image (before it was resized)
- Added 2 more to the Misc section

EDIT:
Just added 17 images to the Pictures section... These are not very "generic" because I couldn't find any "generic" pictures that would fit into the "pictures" section. I added a high resolution 1080p photos that I think look good on any skin. They are real photos (some may have little editing/montages) which I think it fits to the "pictures" name.

As for the empty folders, I have no images to add to them...

I like actual artwork from the movies and tvshows I have but here's a few generic ones I've been using for the other areas:
