12.16.2003 // 5 Comments // New Christmas Desktops

Merry Christmas!

When I’m bored, I sometimes set type. Yes, I’m a dork. Get over it. Anyway, the most recent result of this pastime is this series of desktops, free for you to download and use this holiday season. They’re available in a variey of totally not-Christmas-y colors.

I only rendered two sizes in each color: one at 1600x1200 for those of you with 4:3 (regular aspect) screens, and one at 1280x854 for those of you with 16:10 (widescreen) screens. Want another resolution? Bah humbug. Make it yourself. :)

    Just to let you know that http://jeffcroft.com/downloads/desktops/christmas/christmastaupe1280x854.jpg doesn’t work (try it in Mozilla Firebird). Probably a bad image format conversion.

    Cheah Chu-

    Thanks for pointing out the bad image file! I’ve got it fixed.

    Douglas-

    The typeface is Adobe Voluta Script. It comes with a nice selections of alternates and swashes — I really like it.

    Jenna-

    No problem. :)

    Voluta… that’s fun to say, too. Voluuuu-ta!

    Uh, sorry. Wasting bandwidth here.
