Hey
Keep up the good work on this wiki! --DreamIsland (talk) 19:49, 11 December 2019 (UTC) <--- PF94.
 * Thanks! Glad to see someone who appreciates my work on this rather obscure wiki. WindowsAesthetics (talk) 19:50, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Wow, really cool to see someone with the same specific interest as me! I grew up with Windows, and I’ve always been interested in things that other people often overlook. Wallpapers are one of those things that seem boring at first but when you really think about them they become interesting. My favorite Windows wallpapers are the Characters from Windows 7! Keep it up!


 * Thank you! Personally I never really looked very far into its wallpapers until around 2018, but since around then I've became hooked onto the topic. I definitely agree with your third sentence; wallpapers may just seem like run-of-the-mill photos to many people but some of them (especially Bliss) have very interesting backstories. I created this wiki as I felt a lot of this information was worth documenting. WindowsAesthetics (talk) 23:13, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Title
A number of your pages have solved many of the childhood questions that have been stuck in the top of my head for decades. Bless --Davidjl123 (talk) 19:16, 22 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Woah, good to know! Any in particular? WindowsAesthetics (talk) 10:13, 23 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Azul, Winter, Sunset, to particularly name a few. I actually found this site while looking for Azul and expecting nothing to come out of it as it did over the past few years; so finding this page was a very pleasant surprise. Davidjl123 (talk) 23:41, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Regarding Image Uploading
I wonder if it would be possible for people to Upload images to this Wiki?

I'd be more than glad to upload some of the Windows Wallpapers I've managed to rip so far.

Best Regards --Kot32 (talk) 15:44, 31 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Sure, see Special:Upload. I've uploaded quite a lot already, but there's still ones I haven't got round to doing so (usually because I haven't completed their pages). WindowsAesthetics (talk) 20:46, 31 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Too bad I don't have enough Permissions to do so. --Kot32 (talk) 17:03, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

VisualEditor
Can we get VisualEditor? --YueLing182 (talk) 02:39, 26 August 2020 (UTC)


 * I'll consider it. WindowsAesthetics (talk) 22:01, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * When? YueLing182 (talk) 03:11, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Rename img100 (Windows 8 build 8513) → img105 (Windows 8 build 8513)
Rename https://windowswallpaper.miraheze.org/wiki/File:Img100_(Windows_8_build_8513).jpg to img105 (Windows 8 build 8513).

Also, should the ability to move a file be for everyone? --ThatRandomToast (talk) 10:18, 25 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Done, good catch. As for regular users moving files, I'll consider that. WindowsAesthetics (talk) 14:14, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

glitch in dark theme
At the bottom of the Dark Theme page, it's white... Hard to work with this little bit of white thing at the bottom of every page... CAN YOu maybe fix it? -Windows 2005 (talk) 23:31, 5 April 2022 (UTC) (p.s. nice wiki pretty cool stuff here)
 * That's not my fault. This is a bug with Miraheze wikis in general, so complain to the staff not me. WindowsAesthetics (talk) 22:28, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Regarding Windows 7 German and Indian wallpapers
The German SP1 ISO I have comes with a different set of wallpapers (I wanted to post a link for the pictures here, but it seems that the Wiki doesn't let me submit my post if I include it here). AFAIK, the wallpapers on the main page right now were included in beta builds didn't to the final release of Windows 7. Maybe we should move them to the Windows 7 Beta page.

Also, unrelated question, but how did you guys find the Indian wallpapers? I've been looking for the Indian theme for some time. IIRC Microsoft didn't make an official Win 7 Indian/Hindi release, except for some early Beta builds, which now seems impossible to find. And the final Windows 7 English ISO did not include wallpapers from India.
 * Thanks for letting me know, I'll check out the final German wallpapers. Seems quite a few wallpaper sets were changed in the final version, like the Japanese ones, and possibly others too. As for the Indian wallpapers, I found those on some website as far as I recall, and they do seem to have been extracted from the beta version. Not fully sure regarding the situation with whether it was released or not, although they did release Windows 7 PCs in India so those could have the wallpapers included. I'll probably have to re-rip a lot of the RTM wallpaper sets myself, as the beta wallpapers have slightly different metadata. WindowsAesthetics (talk) 16:16, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Odd about the link situation. You could perhaps just email me the link at fusoxide@protonmail.com WindowsAesthetics (talk) 16:19, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Just a quick update: I did some digging on the Windows 7 beta builds. So it turns out that Windows 7 build 7000 already had Globalization MCTs for Germany and Japan. I suspect they came around at the same time as the other five (build 6941, according to the wiki), but I can't verify that as I didn't get the chance to look at the older builds. Microsoft replaced the MCTs of AU, CA, GB, US and ZA by build 7048, but kept the German/Japanese beta wallpapers, so apparently you have build 7077 with beta MCT-DE and MCT-JP and the final MCTs of all the other countries. I checked the regional wallpapers on the Windows 7 wiki page. They're all the final ones, with exception of Germany (which has the beta ones instead). I can't verify the India wallpapers because I don't know where to look for them in the official ISOs (hence my early question), but I saw some other websites include them on wallpaper packs, so I suppose they must be right (???). Also, build 7022 still had the old Sample Pictures set (Butterfly, Field, Flower...), while build 7048 already came with the final ones (like Chrysanthemum, Desert and others).Localhero (talk) 23:46, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for looking into this. What a mess, lol. WindowsAesthetics (talk) 00:23, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
