    Hello, people of wallhaven! I recently created this wallpaper: [kx5yqm], and it's my first time making something like this, so I'm looking for criticisms and ideas on how to improve it because it doesn't look quite right to me. Don't mind the huge watermark, it's supposed to be a background for a brand flyer I designed, and I'm not taking any chances this time.😂 I eventually Bumped up the saturation and brightness to get this: [1py6z9] and I took out several elements for the final design, but I still want a third opinion. And a fourth and fifth and sixth... etc. If you can, please look at each image by itself (Without comparing it to the other one) and tell me what needs improvement and what could be better. I'd appreciate it, Thanks guys!

    I like the first one better. In the second there is not enough contrast between some elements and they blend into each other in several places.

    Wow. It's already been deleted. Thanks for the feedback man! I see what you mean. But it's hard to increase the contrast without losing some of the colors in the form of saturation, and I quite like how the whole thing is bright and pops.😂 But I'll try to fix it and get back to you. However, I like the newer one so much that I've already created a range of designs with that one as the base or background!😅 Now I have to go back and fix them. 🤔Though, since it's intended to be a background, I think it still works even if the elements blend into each other, right? If the elements stand out too much, they'll compete with the main text and info don't you think?

    I was actually going to tell an admin to delete the pics as soon as I got the help I wanted. but I didn't expect them to be deleted so soon, hardly anyone has seen them. And I didn't know I was breaking any rules.

    lumberjacck Hey man. How's this? [wegq6x] I think it's the perfect midpoint between the other two. (Once you've given your verdict, please delete it like the other two)

  • 35862

    I think it's better, yes. The color tones blend nicely, nothing seems lost or too faded.

    lumberjacck Hey man! I eventually ended up building a generator for this wallpaper and made a whole gaggle of them! I'm talking 150+ walls! Lol. 😂😂But I only shared six here. The rest are part of a complementary set you only get when you purchase any of my recent cursor/wallpaper packs on itch.io.

    Pretty nice, interesting color combinations. I removed one of them because of the max 5 rule though.

    Saw that coming, lol. I hoped it'd be overlooked though. But can you return the one you deleted and delete the original one instead? If not, then just delete the original one, I'll put the other one back myself.

    Hello again! I have a problem with the walls I get from here. I have thousands of wallpapers I've gotten from this site and recently I've started coming across some really cool ones that I want to get, Mainly videogame walls like LOL and AOV. Problem is, I already have a lot of them, and I can't remember them all (obviously) so I sometimes end up downloading the same wallpaper several times and eventually having to delete them when I discover I already have them (sometimes several weeks or months after). To remedy this, I tried to search my folders for the walls before or immediately after I got them, and that's where I hit a snag: The wallpapers don't show up when I search them, even when I search with the exact file name, and in the same folder I just saw it in. I could be looking at a wallpaper, and then type its name in the search bar, and then it comes up empty. Can anybody help me clarify why this is happening? And any suggestions on how to get around it would be really appreciated as well, thanks.

    The wallpaper links have changed since the end of the alpha phase. Before, the wallpaper IDs only contained numbers, now they include letters as well.

    I'm not sure if you get what I'm asking. Whether there are letters included in the ID or not, the images don't show up when I search for them. What does the presence(or not) of the letters have to do with the search results?

    Oh, wait... I don't mean searching for them on the site if that's what you think, I mean searching for them on my PC.

    I assumed you saved them with the suggested filename when you save an image, which is something like "wallhaven-vq65gm". How did you save them then?

  • 36513

    😐Yes, that's how I saved them... I just click save image as and then tap enter...🥲😶‍🌫️ WAS I SUPPOSED TO CHANGE THE NAME!!?!?! I had no idea!😫😨 Also, I usually download anywhere from 100 to 500 wallpapers at a time( a year or two ago, but, nowadays -with a lot of discipline- it's from 20 to 5 and occasionally, zero. ) so manually changing the names of all of them one by one is practically suicide.

  • 36514

    Well, if you were planning to rely on the original name... that's too bad. All that's left to do is to probably use an image detection software, but I don't have any suggestions.

  • 36515

    Are you using Windows? Are you searching for a wallpaper that you know you have the right name for it as a test? I think Windows search tends to stop working if you have lots and lots of files.

  • 36517

    mcswan Yes, I am. Yes, I was. OOOOHHHH! That makes sense. Pretty inconvenient though. And why wouldn't they fix that? Cuz you really don't need the search feature unless you have lots and lots of files. Ironic, don't you think? What you need it for is what breaks it. That's like having a drill that stops working as soon as it touches wood or concrete. Or a fire blanket that's made of paper. Or a guard dog who's afraid of burglars. Anyway, thanks, man. I appreciate it.

    Thank you too, lumberjacck.

    mcswan It works! I moved one of the folders back to my PC (I store the walls on an external hard drive-along with a bunch of other things) and searched again and it worked! It's a tedious process, but at least it works. Thanks again.

    So that's why I don't like the Windows Search feature! A new reason it sucks.

  • 36522

    odAyzaod It's one of the reason I use a 3rd party search that can scan your entire PC, including externals and NAS. You can even tell it to only search amongst images, videos, executables etc. or the entirety of files.

    Just look up "everything" from voidtools.
