So I was looking for a new wallpaper for my computer and thought that a picture of the guys "swarming" around the goal in their snazzy Hawaiian style jerseys would be awesome, but all of the pictures from the gallery (either official or otherwise) are 640 X 480 ish... which on a 1280 X 800 screen makes it awkwardly small.
Is there a way to get updated wallpapers, or the gallery pics bigger so that I can feed my Swarm picture fix on a daily manner? |

It shouldn't be hard to scale the image and play some image processing tricks to make it not so aliased. |

Check out http://uberh4x0r.org/~dtj/swarm_hawaii.jpg I took photo_diva's pic (without permission) and slightly stylized it with some scaling and cropping. It should give you some idea of what is possible with 5 mins worth of work. |

I found this pic on the Swarm website. I tried it out on my screen and it worked pretty good. Give it a shot and tell me how it works.

I tried with a different one (the "seeing red") and it looked pretty good after some playing around. I was just hoping that the Swarm themselves would introduce more, or the other pictures in a slightly higher res, without me having to edit etc.
