If you’ve been following the last week of Microsoft news recently, you might have noticed that the company’s new Surface devices sport some impressive new wallpapers themed towards natural landscapes. We’ve already have shown you where you can download them all, but someone else has taken things a bit further, blending the Surface Pro X wallpaper with Windows XP’s classic “Bliss” wallpaper.

As seen in the first slider image below, Redditor Castetorch worked some graphic design magic and switched out the usual orange-colored landscape from the Surface Pro X wallpaper: He instead added some touches of green, switched around the cloud, and mountain top to replicate the classic Windows XP wallpaper which many have come to love. You can compare the various wallpapers by going through our sliders.

It’s a really visually impressive scene, but Castletorch also has switched things up and created variants for different seasons. Some other variations of the Surface Pro X wallpaper include one with a stormy sky, one with a dark sky, and another one themed for the fall. These can all be found here.

What do you think of this wallpaper? Does it bring back memories? Feel free to let us know in the comments below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
