I've been working on the new Colonial Fleet Desktop. The little sample above really doesn't do the image justice. It really came out gorgeous.

Here is a 1280x1020 version

ok, i just had to clean up my desktop so i could see the background better. thanks for giving me a reason to do that. i had way to many shortcuts there and un-used folders.

I have had that nebula and map image on my desktop for more than a year now, but this one is awesome!!!!

Have you all seen the one they are using on BSG.com? They have almost the same one except with a blue nebula..

Could you do one with that color too????? :)

Sure. I can do a colorshift or maybe I can use the blue nova explosion. Whichever you prefer. :D

It would be neat to have them in all colors such as yellow, green, etc...

I have already put this one on my desktop! Great work. I have always loved the nebula shot. makes one wonder about the mysteries of the universe...

Tom -

I love the desktop! It is soooo cool! It gets a lot of attention on my pc at work because it is so striking.

A couple of things though.... I found a typo it reads "Egyptians, ot the Toltecs"

I was also wondering what happened to the "Architects" line....

Best regards,
Bryan

You caught the typo! I missed it! Thanks :D I reuploaded it so anyone who wants a correct version can have it. :)

The architect line in the pilot goes like this:

"They may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids, or the lost civilizations of Lemuria, or Atlantis"

but it was cut out for the rest of the series. :D

We haven't gotten it to work since our forum upgrade. But you can have the font here for your own personal use:

Yes, the wallpaper is very nice indeed. I prefer it with the Nebula. Tom, if you've got the time, I wouldn't mind it in 1600X1024 :)
If not, I'll just convert it myself.
Cheers.
