After hearing the news of the new cool box art for Vista and Office, I thought I had to have a go at turning them in to wallpaper.. so I did. :) The Ultimate box is just too neat not to be.

Edited ? Final Full Packb>

Thanks to everyone for their support and requests while I made this, Neowin rocks!

Details are as follows, all variations are available in all sizes: With Box, without box and plain without box or logo.

Sizes available are the largest I could pretty much do without waiting ten minutes for Photoshop to render the Save to Web PNG's.

As before, I recommend Paint.net if you need to scale down the size without loss of quality to your own desktop size.

Sorry if your size isn't supported, but I won't make any more versions of these, just size as best you can and crop the rest.

Thanks again!

I suggest you make a 3rd style wallpaper without the logo "Windows Vista Ultimate" (for example). Then create square versions for all 3 versions of the wallpaper, for people using resolutions like 1280x1024 for example. Then zip them all together into a folder and you'll have one of the best wallpaper packages i've seen.

i dont know why this guy has said that those pics are in widescreen, cos they aint

Look

These are 16:10 widescreen, not 16:9. There are two ratios of widescreen, just like the two ratios of standard. Confusing I know 16:9 version coming shortly.

Its a good job I've got nothing better to do hmm? :blink:

I'll see what I can do ;)

And.. I just checked, I can blow it up to 1920 x 1200 without any noticible loss of quality, I'll include a version. :)

i know this may just sound like nitpicking but the home basic wallpaper (any version) shouldn't have the white aurora bands in the background. Home basic doesn't feature desktop aurora, and the box hints at that. ;)

Either way the wallpapers are very nice so far.

Actually you can sorta see one little bit of the aurora left, but most of it is blotted out. :)

All three editions of the widescreen versions are now done, starting work on the standard screen ones.

Not working. and maxsquared: Its not easy to get any wall paper to be default in Vista. Thats not how it works. If they needed wall papers for Vista, they would have a competition, not just pick some random person to get walpapers from.

Ok. Finally loaded. Can you make it for 1280x1024 Resolution :)

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
