Please tell me you haven't used the default wallpaper from OSX Tiger as your background :|


Sorry, I can't tell you that.


Sorry, but you absolutely need to change this. It's overt copyright infringement. You've provided zero attribution to the content creator, and don't own the rights to the work in the first place.

Ripping off someone's work - whether they're an independent designer or a multinational corporation - is not cool.

Anyway, I tried uploading a PDF to demo the service, but it didn't work; the file uploaded and it redirected me to /manage/[id].php, but the page never fully loaded. So, I'm really not sure what to say but I'm kinda bummed out by that.

It's cool that you've created something to share with us, and I really wish you luck in making it your own and getting it to work. Good luck, and feel free to share it later on!


Cscotta,

Thanks for feedback. I have to create more error messages.

Also I frankly did not think it was necessary to give a shout out to Apple. Nevertheless, the background will be gone as soon as I do a simple design.

Thanks again for trying the app and for sharing.


I think it would be copyright infringement regardless of whether or not you attribute the source.


True, you'd need permission from the rights holder to use the image.

Do a Google search for desktop wallpaper using the advanced CC options or use a background from KDE or such that is FOSS licensed, eg from http://kde-look.org/index.php?xsortmode=down&page=0&...
