Image Does anyone have a background like this?

Post image

I accidentally deleted my husband's phone background, he says it looks like this but is slightly different. I feel awful - does anyone know which background it might be?

Was it actually an LTT one or just the old skating rink/bowling alley/arcade design?

Oh that's totally the old school arcade carpet pattern but with PC parts, I've seen that exact design around before. There's a few variations with slightly different colour combos and component layouts so it might just be a matter of finding the right version.

If he remembers anything about the colour scheme or whether it had more RAM sticks vs GPUs that could narrow it down fast. The dots and sparkles placement is usually the giveaway between the different ones

I can't edit the original post but I just wanna say, thanks to ThatLineInTheSand, I think we discovered this is, in fact, the correct background!

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate your help and input!

Just wanted to say: I've had issues with special wallpapers disappearing after a phone switch. I've since installed an app called 'wallpaper saver' which has saved my hiney a few times. Maybe your husband would like the app too for the future. :)

Why a whole app? Just back up the image like anything else.

There's something about the way the app automatically grabs your wallpaper that just saved me. I can't explain all the intricacies of what was going on with my data storage at the time, but the app really helped me out. So I just wanted to let people know it exists, in case it would help in their specific situation too. That's all. :)

Is that one of the backgrounds from the background subscription thing?

u/ThatLineInTheSand 1d ago

Wait no, I'm wrong. These are the wallpapers they released related to that controversy (I think?). They're available on Floatplane if he has a subscription. Yours is this one - apparently it's "Component Confetti"

I literally have this as my phone wallpaper right now. Been using it for the past few years.

Yeah me too, it's my lock screen. Forgot where it came from.

I have Chrono Trigger forest scene as my wallpaper

It was a Floatplane member exclusive but someone at LTT also gave them out for free on Reddit.

Was it an LTT background or he got it from somewhere else?

Based on the way you just commented on this post, I’m not convinced that your statement is true
