Browsing and Choosing Between the Different Wallpaper Styles

With over a hundred backgrounds split across several art styles, it helps to know what you are looking at so you can find the ones you actually want.

The Three Main Categories

The collection is broadly divided into art inspired by the main series games, artwork drawn from the trading card game, and custom pieces made by community artists. Game-inspired backgrounds tend to look like scenery, routes, and iconic locations. Card-inspired ones mimic the framing and layout of collectible cards. Community pieces are the most varied, ranging from clean minimalist designs to detailed illustrations.

Finding Alternates

Certain wallpapers ship with alternate versions — different color schemes or rearranged layouts of the same base picture. These are usually grouped together in the gallery, so if you find a design you like, look at the thumbnails immediately around it before moving on. Picking an alternate is the easiest way to match a wallpaper to a themed PC room.

Practical Picking

Since the change is purely cosmetic and free to redo, there is no downside to experimenting. Pick a style that matches your build — card art for a collector's room, scenery art for a travel-themed base — and swap it whenever your setup changes. Nothing about the wallpaper affects PC storage or functionality.
