Title: Windows 10’s new desktop wallpaper is made out of light Like every other version
Post by: Samtastic on June 25, 2015, 07:24:24 PM
Like every other version of Windows, Microsoft has created a special desktop wallpaper for Windows 10. While Microsoft opted for daisies in Windows 8 and an aurora in Windows Vista, the default Windows 10 wallpaper uses a Windows logo just like Windows 7 did. It's not just any old logo, either. Microsoft travelled to a San Francisco studio to build two installations to create the Windows logo out of light. The software company used camera mapping techniques, lasers, and projectors to create the new hero image that will be used on millions of PCs that ship with Windows 10.
The result is a dark and misty logo with light that beams out and around the edges of the famous Windows logo. It matches the dark theme of Windows 10 well, but it appears the wallpaper won't be animated so the full effect (shown in Microsoft's video) won't be available on your desktop. This new wallpaper will start appearing on desktops once Windows 10 ships on July 29th next month.

Title: Microsoft reveals Windows 10’s “hero desktop image”

Windows 10 is set to be released next month and Microsoft has started preparing for the release of the last version of Windows. Today, in a new behind the scenes video, Microsoft revealed Windows 10’s “hero desktop image” aka the default wallpaper. The company used various techniques to create the hero desktop image for Windows 10, which you can see in the video below:
Obviously, the default desktop image is a big deal for the company, as well as users. Personally, I don’t really like the image and I think the Windows 10 lock screen wallpapers look much better than this hero desktop image – but that’s just my opinion.
