Backgrounds for portrait desktop
 

With Hildon Desktop now having portrait support, I've made a few simple backgrounds for my N900 that repeat both horizontally and vertically, so you don't get any hard edges when switching between desktops. Nothing spectacular, but maybe someone else will like these too.

First a couple simple fractals

And then some noise that looks a little like space

As suggested, something like the US Woodland camo pattern

I was trying to make something like a wooden table pattern here

These are really nice. I was wondering if there any wallpapers that can loop both vertically and horizontally. D'you think you can make more? :D

I don't really have any ideas for more right now, but if I do make more, I'll post them here.

in what program you make these wallpapers... maybe you could make a simple tutorial on how to make it.... and all users could make they own ;)

nice backgrounds btw ;)

Nice work, really awesome backgrounds!

How about a camo background which can do both portrait and landscape?

Added a simple repeating camo pattern to the first post.

All of these are made in GIMP. The top two with [Filters -> Render -> Nature -> Flame...] and made seamless with [Filters -> Map -> Make Seamless].

The starscape is few layers of [Filters -> Noise -> HSV Noise...] with parts randomly cut out, [Filters -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur...] for glow and again made seamless with [Filters -> Map -> Make Seamless].

The camo pattern is several layers of [Filters -> Render -> Clouds -> Plasma...] and made seamless with the Resynthesizer plugin.
