New Desktops At Mandolux

by , 7:00 AM EDT, April 26th, 2002

Mandolux has released new desktops for download. The desktops are images for use as the background on Macs, and represent the latest American tactical fighters and abstract imagery. According to Mandolux:

Mandolux has issued eleven new desktops since our last communicate. Ten of these desktops were about the F-22 Raptor jet and the remaining desktop is a continuation of the ‘Technosis/Anthraxis’ theme.

The name of the Raptor pictures are ‘Dusk Spark, Beautiful Mountain Range, Pair of Raptor, Raptor 03, Silver Skin, Stairway to Heaven, Dropping, Palmdale, 45º, and Tilted Raptor’ and the name of the new Technosis is
‘Toll.’

About the desktops:

  • Dusk Spark is a picture taken at dusk with a F-22 serving as a shadow to the setting sun
  • Beautiful Mountain Range is just that – a beautiful mountain range with a Raptor flying by it
  • Pair of Raptors is a picture of two raptors with a clear sky background
  • Raptor 03 is an amazing picture of an upside-down Raptor in a beautiful landscape of clouds and sky
  • Silver Skin is an awesome picture – that’s the only thing I can say, it is that good!
  • Stairway to Heaven is my favorite aerospace desktop of all times! No other desktop in my 1800+ collections comes close to been so enigmatic and dynamic at the same time. The composition of the sun over the clouds, the sky view, and the rolling hills covered with smog, and the way the Raptor is flying is just really-really beautiful to me

You can find more information about the new desktops at the Mandolux Web site. The desktops are available as free downloads.
