Clouds

Clouds is a wallpaper included in Windows 95, and later recycled in Windows 98 and Me along with 95's other wallpapers. It depicts what is likely to be a painting of clouds over a light blue sky. Although not the default wallpaper, it serves as a branding wallpaper for 95, as the clouds serve as a major element of the operating system's branding, being featured in the bootscreen, box art and other pieces of marketing related to it. It is unknown who created it, but most likely either Microsoft themselves or it was outsourced to an external artist.

The wallpaper also appears in the "funstuff" folder on the Windows 95 CD, along with another wallpaper named win95, featuring the same clouds but with a large 95 logo on top of it. The clouds in that wallpaper, however, feature a more grainy appearance.

Trivia

 * Clouds is the only Windows wallpaper to depict clouds on their own. This is likely due to the clouds serving as an integral part of Windows 95's branding as similarily, there have been no grassy hill wallpapers in Windows versions after Windows XP's Bliss.
