Consider updating the list of tiled wallpaper sources

peteroupc commented 4 months ago

Consider building an up-to-date list of tiled wallpapers, especially to emphasize those with a limited resolution and color palette.

My interest is in tileable desktop wallpapers that evoke the feel of classic operating systems and their limited color palettes and resolution. Among other things, when updating the list of wallpaper sources, I suggest you to emphasize tileable desktop wallpapers:

With a limited color palette, such as two colors, three or four shades of gray, the VGA palette, the "web safe" palette, or subsets thereof.
With a limited resolution, such as 32x32, 16x16, 64x64, or 128x128.
That are released to the public domain or under an open source license.
That are abstract.
That are not produced by artificial intelligence tools or with their help.

The list of wallpaper sources can also point to public-domain computer code to generate wallpapers meeting the requirements above.

Somehow didn't see this until now - will give the list some love and and emphasis to the post!

Big fan of your site btw, I visit the "color topics for programmers" post periodically

tangent: recently made a fun wrapper for "tilting" tiled wallpapers: https://github.com/neeasade/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/bin/tiletilt

I see you also have a pretty gnarly script in that repo, I'll check it out
