Hey all,

Was wondering if anyone was interested in making a Cisco Systems wallpaper. I work with their products all the time, and thought it would be nice for clients to see the wallpaper if I had wondered away from my machine. I can't find any on the web, and my Photoshop skills are about as basic as they come.

I think something with their slogan "This is the power of the network" and their logo, maybe some simple green lines and stuff would look cool.

Any takers?

Wow, you all have made some nice wallpapers.

Thank you for your efforts.

d3monn, I think your really on to something with you second wall, its simple and minimalisic. I also wonder how that would look with the Background in the green that Cisco uses, with "This is the power of the network" under the logo in red?

What do you think?

P.S. Bloodwork -- Sorry for using the wrong forum, I was in a hurry and I don't usually have the time to locate the absolutly best forum to post in.

Here's an update on the wallpaper, I was a bit bored and added a bit of an effect to the background and I'm working a bit more on making that a bit more easier on the eyes. Here's a shot of the both of them.

and this is a screenshot of the plain one. I think the green at the bottom could have a little more blue/teal into it...

the textured one is very nice. but the red fond is not easy on the eyes as it is.

The actual preview on the topic page is quite distorted, if you didn't do so, it's a lot better to look at. If you did, well, it could be just red is hard on the eyes. Either way, here's a version of the textured one with white text. Like you mentioned, it is a bit easier on the eyes without the red text.

I can make it a small wallpaper "pack" with textured/untextured/green/blue/white text/red text to distribute, so it adds a bit of variety. The only problem is filesize.

I agree, white is better. Just waiting on WinMaster before I post the final image here. I don't want to take up too much space on the server with 3 1600x1200 sized images. I'd post this on DeviantArt, but it's against their rules to use a company in the work, and since I don't feel like going through hours of e-mail work from Cisco asking permission and giving proof to DeviantArt and all that mumbo-jumbo.

Anywho, @WinMaster: PM me and I can post/link/send you a larger sized version of either the plain background, or the textured, or both.

Thanks WinMaster,

It's all good, are there any other request/suggestions for the wallpaper?

RE: the hosting, I might be able to get some hosting done. It's not hard to find a basic free hosting service. I might just open a free account at Brinkster to host the files.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
