EDIT 1/31: Added 2 of the 3 Lilly wallpapers. 3rd in the set is on its way, fucking GIMP. Also, I promise to work on some different characters after it's finished
EDIT 1/28: Fixed Lilly's 'papers and added a new one I found at the bottom of the OP. Enjoy.
Thought this board could use a thread for KS wallpapers, it seems there hasn't really been on (please don't murder me if I'm wrong). Either ones you've found, or made - just don't forget to credit/link to the original creators.
As one who used to be into desktop customization (Rainmeter, Samurize, etc.), while the Downloads page over on the main KS page offers a few really nice wallpapers (the "SD Girls" one in particular was really neat), the styles are cool but the color schemes just don't really work well with Windows 7 and a fully-transparent taskbar.
And thus, I set out to remedy the situation - I've taken a few of the better Wallpapers I could find from the downloads page/Shimmie/Forums and rearranged some aspects to make them more suitable/minimalistic. I'm a big fan of sleek, simple style and soft colors, and I think that's reflected here.
Oh, one last thing: because of the way that some of these are stretched, I recommend using John's Background Switcher (http://johnsadventures.com/software/backgroundswitcher/). Not only can you swap these wallpapers out on a timely basis without any effort, but it makes sure they're all properly centered/fitted to your particular desktop.
Mind you, none of this stuff is entirely original - I'm sort of "remixing" other wallpapers. Now, prepare your eyes for their glory:
(these are just 1280x800 previews - use the links below for more sizes)
Based upon the "SD Girls" wallpaper found on the Downloads page. The girls are undeniably cute and I thought the bar idea was really cool. Problem was, it was hung too low, so it messed with my Fences (great little program, check it out if you haven't heard of it). I cannot allow such things to happen. And so I made these.

The next set was inspired by this 'paper on the Shimmie: http://shimmie.katawa-shoujo.com/image/1613.png. I wanted to make one for each of the 5 girls represented in the picture, and they looked good in GIMP but on the desktop the colors were absolute murder on the eyeballs. That needed some fixing, and I came up with these:
I'm thinking about making one for Misha, I'm just debating what would really constitute the proper "centerpiece" here.

And finally, a re-arrangement of coldacid's W7/Vista theme wallpapers. At first all I had done was removed the logos, but I just didn't like the color scheme very much. Don't know what it was, but I just thought it would be much cooler to see a sort of plain metallic-looking background rather than the one it currently had. I've only done Shizune/Misha at the moment, but I'll update it with the Lilly/Hanako and Emi/Rin 'papers when I get to them (which should be rather soon):
EDIT 1/15: Added Emi/Rin + Lily/Hanako.

Found randomly in a thread on /v/. No idea who made it, if it happens to be you and you really are that upset about by all means send me some hate-mail and I'll be more than happy to throw your name in here.
Added 1/31:
Wanted to capture some of the most poignant scenes in the game in desktop form.
Also, about the amount of white space - might be a bit annoying, somewhat murder-some on the eyes, but it's her favorite color, guys. Geez. Have a heart.

I have the strangest suspicion nobody is ever, ever going to download this, considering just how goddamn depressing it is to have sitting on your desktop staring back at you, but nevertheless I felt that it needed to be made. So, here. Take it.
but I would! These are great!
