Desktop background that don't suck

WallpaperOkay, I admit it: I'm a design snob. Sure, I'm no world-class designer myself, you don't have to be a chef to tell when something tastes nasty, you don't need to be a design whiz to know that most of the desktop backgrounds at almost every big free-wallpapers site out there suck. Don't lose hope just yet, though: Design blog Joey Interactive has a great round-up of web sites that have a slightly higher ratio of don't-suck to suck in the wallpaper department. Especially unique is the high proportion of wallpapers for higher resolutions and widescreen and multi-monitor setups. My desktop background has been plain black for longer than I'd like to admit, and it didn't take me more than five minutes to find a handful of backgrounds I wouldn't be ashamed to use.
