With the excellent Weavy platform, I used Gemini’s Nano Banana Pro AI model to create a bunch of new Windows 3.1 bitmap-style tiling desktop wallpapers.
From the 150 or so it generated, I selected the 38 best ones, and fixed them up in Photoshop.
(Not all of them came out tiling correctly, and some had weird artefacts or errors that could only be fixed by hand.)
The prompts I used were variations on this, with some classic bitmap tiling wallpapers attached for style inspiration:
Tileable background image in the style of the attached image – 1993, Microsoft Windows 3.1. 16-color bitmap. Pick appropriate theme, not technology. Image tiles correctly both vertically and horizontally. Color dithering rather than smooth anti-aliasing. Professionally-made, low pixel desktop wallpaper tile produced by major software company’s in-house design team for use with Windows 3.1. No text. No logo. Attached images are for inspiration only, do not reproduce.
You can download them all in one 7-Zip file here (~55MB).
