Bugify Your Desktop
I finally had some free time this weekend to create and upload some desktop wallpaper. It’s located in the top menu bar. Now I know it isn’t much and my presentation is sorely lacking. This was sort of a trial-run. I’ve never made wallpaper before and had no idea how many screen sizes I should make or how I was going to upload and present them all. Eventually I’ll figure out how to layout the info better and I plan to make more interesting wallpapers (and avatars) in the months to come.
I also want to thank Mary Varn, creator of the wonderfully geeky webcomic: NPC – click here to check it out, for all her help. I bothered her with many emails asking her questions like, “What sizes should I make the wallpaper at?” and “How do I get all this to display properly?” and “Why must all this stuff be so difficult?” and “Should I have a doctor look at this lump on my neck?”. Her knowledge and patience has been indispensable.
So have fun with the wallpaper. I’ll hopefully have time to make more goodies for you guys in the coming months.
Nice wallpaper, simple and clean. However, the 1280*800 measures only 1200*800.
Thanks for catching that. I fixed it.
yay!
Love it! Nice and simple. 😀
I was hesitant to put a bug on my Windows desktop – seems this OS has enough bugs of its own. In the end I did bugify.
Also, I wanted to let you know, Adam, that I got the strip in the mail yesterday. I am going to make a cork frame for it but now I feel I must find an old Mr Pibb bottlecap to put in the corner. …and I understand and appreciate the cartoonist's whiteout – I am an old-school programmer who used silver tape to fix punch cards.
Glad the strip made it to you safe and sound. And it's nice to know that I'm not the only one fixing their mistakes with tape.
This is so awesome! Thank you!!! And I know it's hard to make these, but please make more soon 🙂
I love the comic but I must say, the wallpaper is not your best work. I think it is a little too simple. Should have some other cool design elements. I like the idea though
You should've made one with the bug striking a pose like the one in the first panel of this strip (the one on the right of the panel)

I'm more a fan of the sleuth on the third pannel, while the pose is not as (i want to say fonzie-like but sadly he struck the wrong pose for that, so I'm just going to leave this adjective blank)_________ as the one mentioned above, it has a certain theme to it that would make a fine and dandy wallpaper
Mary Varn? Oh, I love NPC… how about some crossover comics?
Chloe and Bink hunting for bugs!
Also, finally a way to show how bugged I am.
Heh… it's already on my desktop 😛
It's enough because I can wear only one at the same time, but refresh would be nice in few months at least 😛
Can you make 1366 x 768? Thats my screen Resolution.
A lot of Android phones use 960 x 800 wallpapers.
@the guy asking for 1366 x 768: use the 1920 x 1080, it's roughly the same proportions. It should scale well.
Thanks Adam! Bug's awesome!
I like that you made a 768×1024 version. If I was doing it I would have been lazy and just gone: "meh, they can just take the 1024×768 and turn it on it's side."
Its cute how he made like a million different sizes, people can just cut it or resize it themselves, its not that hard 😛
Like the wallpaper though 😀
Like it – desktop bugified!
480×800 please 😛
Adam, check the picture to the right of this link for the standard resolutions.

Thanks! I'll check it out.
I think I see every resolution except that of my main computer – 1366 x 768
I believe that it fits the display ratio of 1280 x 720 however.
What genius manufacturer came up with my ridiculous resolution??
Let me guess… Acer Aspire? I feel your pain.
Yay, a wallpaper!
You know, if you're trying to think of more wallpaper ideas, you might try taking popular single panels from some of your strips and turning them into backgrounds. Or maybe a Bug ensemble picture. Just a thought. 🙂
Hope you make some more of them. I'd like to collect something new; state quarters are rather tiresome. I have fifteen Nevadas.
done and done
thank you~ for making larger sizes. I was afraid you wouldn't have mine D:
Light, fun and awesome. Great job!
Righteous on the desktop. Now my co-workers are envious. And I scored cool points with my teenage sons. THey are huge Bug fans. Keep up the good work.
Thanks that was a great idea:)
Its a nice way to show our apreciation to BugComic to the colleges:)
hope u release many more soon with Nerd Bug,Cool Bug and many others.
peace
I've been waiting for the wallpapers since you posted about wanting to make one, and the second I saw you had made an iPhone resolution, I set it as my wallpaper! One thing though, the resolution you currently have for iPhone is the 3GS and older resolution. The iPhone 4 has a resolution of 960×640, so you just have to double each dimension of the older one.
