Minimalistic Mac Desktop Part I: Wallpaper

by Willimac on February 27, 2010

The guys at Minimal Mac were kind enough to share my Mac’s desktop setup with the world. I was shocked by the interest. The original Flickr upload got 2,000 views. I thought it would only be fair to share the details of the setup with a few blog posts.

This is the first one where you can download the background image. It is a pattern I found during one of my late night trips through the intranets. Be sure to ’tile’ the image and it will look great on any size monitor. It currently covers my 23″ Cinema Display and helps me keep the desktop organized by making all the scattered items easy to identify. Once a week I make a point to file everything and get back the ‘blank canvas’ look.

Here is the grey texture image for your own use. If your friends ask where you got it, would you be so kind and send them back here? Thanks.

I’m always looking for other cool Mac desktops, wallpaper and full setups. Feel free to add a link to your in the comments.
