New Desktop Wallpaper Experiments with Calendars!

I decided to try out calendar desktop wallpapers for this year. Starting out with March, it's a kite decorating the calendar. You'll notice the casual look. I tried hard not to strive for perfect alignment of the numbers. The boxes aren't exactly in line either. I made the kite with Paint Shop Pro 7. It's not made from a dingbat font nor clipart nor tubes, for that matter. The font, in case you're wondering, is called Eskargot by Apostrophic Lab. You can find it at DaFont.com (PC and Mac), Apostrophic Lab at Pedroreina.net (#0156 PC and Mac) or Typoasis (PC only).

Each month I'll pick out a theme to decorate the wallpaper and release it a few days before the month starts. This will be an experimental year. If it's popular, I may continue it for next year.

To view and download the appropriate size for your desktop, click here to go to the Wallpapers 4 page. Note that the sizes are bit larger in length from the standard for 800 and 1024 width wallpapers. The 1280 width is 1024 long.
