Cloud Forest Alive Wallpaper Gallery!
Because we've had many visitor requests in the last few months for high-resolution copies of some of our pictures for use as "Wallpaper" (the background image on a computer screen), we've created this gallery with a few of the best pictures so far.
For instructions on how to set these images as your wallpaper (it's really easy), please scroll down to the bottom the page. Enjoy!

How to set the pictures as wallpaper...
Step 1 - Determine your screen area (so that the picture completely fills your screen) If you already know your screen area (640x480, 800x600, etc.) you may skip this step.
1) Go to the test page to determine your screen area.
Step 2 - Select the proper image
For example, if you want to use the Scarab Beetle as your wallpaper and your screen area is 800 by 600, then click on "800x600 pixels" next to the Scarab Beetle picture.
Step 3 - Set the image as wallpaper
1) With the desired image displayed on your screen, click anywhere on the picture with your right mouse button.
2) In the list that pops up, click on "Set As Wallpaper". That's it!
Note: We're not responsible for any nightmares that you might experience as a result of using the Tarantula or Long-horned Beetle as wallpaper! :)
