As some supplemental material for the “Think Design Stories” episode I did with David Hill on the subject of wallpaper, please find below a collection of resources. If you haven’t seen the video yet, or want to hear the story again, please find the video below.

For those that want a good look at the original map David Hill used, see the image below.

The original map that David’s design team used to create the iconic wallpaper.

ThinkPad ThinkCentre Active Desktops

  • The above link contains both Active Desktops for ThinkPad and ThinkCentre machines that support Active Desktops. They display key system information for your wallpaper.

TP_ssaver_setup

  • A collection of ThinkPad screensavers.

WallpaperWebPage

  • A modern, lightweight program that allows Windows 10 to run a website as a background image. While it is far from perfect, it is the closest thing I’ve found to do the job.

world.time.wallpaper

  • The original dynamic wallpaper remake originally hosted on axofiber.info but occasionally the host does not work. The highest supported resolution is 1680×1050.

world.time.wallpaper.lenovo.edition

  • The same as above but with Lenovo branding.

ActiveTimeZoneWallpapers

  • Three original installs of the Time Zone wallpaper. North American, Europe and Asia variants.
