I've created an animated gif that can be used as a wallpaper for example in Windows. It's optimized for the resolution 1280x1024 but can probably be automatically downscaled and still look OK.
Have fun :)

Nice! However, my Star Trek screensaver takes precedence. :)

StarTrek screensaver? For Windows? Cool :) Is it freeware?
I swear I got a C128 80-column wallpaper from this site once upon a time.
Unfortunately, at work they discovered that some of us liked having our own wallpaper, so they banned it. Now my screen displays the company mission statement. All the time. ARRRRGGGHHH!!! :mad:

Yeah. Unfortunately, it's a FIRING offense here. No lie.

I seem to remember that, too.

You're probably thinking about this thread (http://landover.no-ip.com/forums/index.php?topic=2264.0) that I posted a year ago. Unfortunately, I had those files on AOL Hometown, which has since closed. I did backup all of those files before it closed, so if anyone is interested in any of those wallpapaper images, I could post them on my server.
Andrew, I'd love to see those, please post them on your server.
I have also created an animated 80-column wallpaper with blinking cursor :)

Very nice! Now all you have to do is make a CP/m mode wallpaper. :)

Of course :) When I completed the wallpaper for the 80 column screen I thought I had covered the C128. How could I make such a mistake? :)
Well, here they are, CP/M startup screens for both the 40 and the 80 column screens. Please note how the cursor flash rate is different in the CP/M mode, especially on the 80 column screen. I've tried to match the speed as good as possible to the original, but it's difficult to get it 100% right.

Excellent! You are the man, Carl! :) Now all the start-up screen bases are covered.

Okay, they're now on my server, and I've fixed all the links in my original message in this thread (http://landover.no-ip.com/forums/index.php?topic=2264.msg9083#msg9083), so have at 'em! :)
