New Year desktop wallpaper: skyline fireworks, deco pattern, glasses

A desktop wallpaper has to survive icons and open windows sitting on top of it — the centre can't be busy. These nine set a city skyline lit with fireworks, an art deco frame around an empty centre, and a table of champagne glasses, each as fireworks, deco or minimal, with a quiet wide centre. Ask for a different scene, like a party hat, and the same calm centre carries it.

Frequently asked questions

Will icons and windows be readable over the wallpaper?

Yes — every wallpaper keeps its centre calm and low-contrast, so icons, the dock and open windows stay legible on top of it.

What resolution do these render at?

Wide desktop proportions suited to a standard monitor, composed so detail holds at the edges rather than stretching on an ultrawide.

Can I request a different scene, like a party hat?

Yes — the direction field takes any midnight scene, and the same three styles render it with a calm centre.

What's the difference between fireworks, deco and minimal?

Fireworks is an atmospheric night painting of bursts over a skyline, deco is a geometric gold-on-black illustration, and minimal is a flat few-shape gold-on-cream illustration.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
