shivstr said: I created this countdown wallpaper today for my personal use and it looks great! So i thought i might share.

As i said this is for my personal use, so Im not gonna start making different resolutions or change things if it does not work for you.

This is wallpaper for 1280x1024 resolution.
Preview www.tachypic.com/

*Changing the background
You can change the background image to whatever you like, all you need to do is get a new wallpaper and rename it to wii.jpg
Remember that the .jpg and .html need to be in the same folder to work.

If you are experienced with javascript or html, then by all means modify it, so long as my name and Robert Hashemian is kept intact.

Installation Steps (for Windows XP):

1. Download from >
putstuff.putfile.com/

2. Unzip the file into the same folder

3. Go to display properties (Right-click on desktop > properties)

4. Go to desktop tab and click Browse.

5. Locate the wallpaper files and select the wii.html

6. You might want to also click on the Color menu and select 'white' to suit the wallpaper.

7. click OK

thanks, thats up to you.
Go find a nice zelda wallpaper, save the wallpaper as wii.jpg.
Now replace or move the old wii.jpg with the new zelda wallpaper.
And voila now the wallpaper uses the zelda wallpaper.

The wallpaper resolution should be 1280x1024, other wise you might get some gaps etc.
This is unless your screen resolution is lower.

ive just updated the wallpaper link to a newer version, i made the countdown timer background colour transparent, so it can be used with other wallpaper without having a stupid white background.

The link is updated in the first post.
