Description
(Multiple sizes of my 'Solar System to Scale ' wallpaper with a new preview.)A minimalist infographic wallpaper depicting the size of our solar system to scale.
I kept the design simple and easy on the eyes, to be ideal for a operating environment.
I also wrote an interesting blog post to accompany the wallpaper that has some fascinating numbers and comparisons on the size of our solar system, galaxy, and universe.
I also created the monitor in the preview, which will be included in future wallpaper previews.

I was searching for a wallpaper of the show The Expanse, this came up. Nice concept, I enjoyed very much but it is way to pale and bright to work at night, as I usually do.Β
So I "forked" here: tenlaws.deviantart.com/art/The⦠ Thanks Coswyn.

Great work. Thank you. A lossless PNG would be more suitable for these fine lines, in my opinion.Β

Is it too late for any chance of a 5760x1080 version?Β
I've had this wallpaper for a while now, used to use it on my dual 2880x900 setup, but I've upgraded recently to triple 1080p monitors.Β

What style layout? Single infographic extended over three screens? One with the infographic and two blank for negative space?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'd love for the infographic to be extended over three screens, but having an understanding of the time/effort involved (I've had to convert a fair share of my own wallpapers)--I would understand if one with the infographic and two blank would be less time consuming, and I'd equally be grateful. It's completely up to you.

Where did you get the screen to put the wall in? I've been trying to find things like that forever.

Are you referring to the gray backdrop?

No I am referring to the placement of the smaller photo inside the pic/render of the screen labeled COSWYN.

Hi. I really liked your wallpaper. I have a question. I could put it in my new series of posts on gimp.edu.pl? I would be very grateful

can you make a version of this without the info on it as well?

Why don't you create a "dark" version of that wallpaper?
It is already great, but i think you should make a dark variance of that.

This is the best wallpaper I have ever seen. It is so amazing. The price among my 3000 HD pieces.
I don't know if you take requests, but all the text and lines are really difficult to see on most of my monitors, so I thought I might as well ask. Could you possibly make a version where the text and drawings/lines are a bit darker or lighter then the background colour?
Hope you will because this is amazing.
Cheers

Allow me to show you what I made of it: [link]
Now if the text and lines on your wallpaper were a little bit brighter it would just be amazing
