   Clone and Maze clearly aren’t “endlessly repeating” and will look stupid tiled.
   With so many opions out there, how hard is it to get something so simple right?

      You sure you mean Maze? It looks repetitive to me.

         I think he means the subtle vignette gradient won’t tile very well.

         But I disagree, if each monitor has its own copy of the image, it’ll look fine!

            The very bottom row is also not tiling to the top row. So in multi-level monitor systems it won’t tile up/down.
            Gradient has the same issue with left/right as well as top/bottom.
            Mixed-colour cubes could probably get away with it, but also doesn’t tile properly.
            Fancy scales and candy corn seem fine left/right but not top/bottom.

            If you’re using a multi-level monitor system though, I’m not sure how often you’ll be looking at the backgrounds, so most of these issues don’t matter.

               True, but unless your monitors are border-less and joined, you won’t notice proper tiling if there’s a physical gap between them

      Here are some of our favourite pattern-based wallpapers, many of which will repeat infinitely

      N.B. “many”, not “all”. Reading comprehension is a life skill.
