In here, you'll find Sonic desktop themes, wallpaper, and other things that make your computer desktop look way Sonic! Most things here are from SEGA or converted from something made by SEGA. Want to make your own themes? Here's a tip - theme files are regular text files and can easily be edited to create a variety of effects.
Themes
The Sonic Theme Collection!
A set of themes complied by me, Vector. After I downloaded Andy Watt's theme, I started customizing it and eventually added themes for other characters, too. I've included my customized themes, which include Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Vector, Mighty, SegaSonic the Hedgehog, and 2 Sonic & Knuckles themes, in this zip. This desktop theme collection is 1.53MB in size.
The Sonic the Hedgehog desktop theme by Andy Watts (Email / Website). It contains things such as wallpaper, icons, sounds, and more! This desktop theme is 552KB in size.
Wallpaper
This is a really cool wallpaper from Sonic 3D Blast. It fits perfectly with a jungle theme. This file is 187KB in size.
Another cool wallpaper, this time Sonic is embossed into it! This wallpaper is about 44KB in size.
A wallpaper based on the Sonic and Knuckles logo, converted by Andy Watts. This file is only 15KB in size!
These 2 wallpapers are the backgrounds of the Sonic 1 special stage (birds, and fishies). If they look a little strange here, they'll look fine when tiled on your desktop. Made by DarkWolf. The 2 wallpapers are included in a single zip file, which is only 4.46K!

Startup/Shutdown Screens
To install these, rename them and put them in the following directories. Assuming the Windows directory is C:\windows:
Startup: C:\logo.sys
Waiting: C:\windows\logow.sys
Shutdown: C:\windows\logos.sys |
Be sure to backup any existing files of the same name if you have them.
Animated Sonic Startup Screen - VERY nice.
Sonic Startup Screen (Non-Animated Version)
"SEGA" Startup Screen - Just like the opening of most of the Genesis Sonic games.
"Waiting..." Waiting Screen - The standard Windows "waiting to shut down" screen, but with Sonic getting impatient.
"Gotta Go!" Waiting/Shutdown Screen - Part of a set. This is a waiting screen designed to go with the shutdown screen below. It also makes a good shutdown screen, so I listed it as both.
"Well, You Can Shut Off The Computer Now!" Shutdown Screen - Part of a set. This is a shutdown screen designed to go with the waiting screen above.
"Presented by SEGA" Shutdown Screen - by Steven R.J. Danieletto (^Luck^).
