Website Information

Hello, my name is Daniele, and I'm the creator of this website. As a PC user during the 2000s, and a lover of technology, I took interest in Frutiger Aero as soon as I learned about it. But I saw that there were not many websites talking about it in depth or sharing many resources / images of it. So I thought of making this website, as a fun project, and as a place to put resources and information that I've learned from my research.

I was inspired to make this after looking at Solinus's amazing website and a few other websites on Neocities. Many of the wallpapers and resources i've used on my website were shared by members of the Frutiger Aero Discord server, where you can also find me by the username "daniele63".

This website looks at its best on a 1080p resolution, however it is usable on every device, as I made sure that it's responsive. The website is coded entirely by me in HTML/CSS/Javascript, no frameworks were used. The layout was heavily inspired by other websites from the early 2000s and late 1990s.

Updates / Blog

05 January 2025 - Added a Resources section, where i post images for making original Frutiger Aero artworks.
03 January 2025 - I made a new button, and changed the interface a bit (it's a bit darker). I also added images in some of the section descriptions.
01 January 2025 - Happy new year, everyone ! I'm really thankful for all your support. I can't believe we are already at 133,136 views in such a short time ! The fast growth is very surprising. Anyway, as you can see I've changed the banner in the Introduction section, which now features Nanami. I also polished other parts of the website, and improved SEO, site structure, and other stuff.
30 December 2024 - Improved the wallpapers section a lot, I added more in-depth descriptions for the different categories, I also added external download links (for example, Internet Archive). Added Madobe Nanami wallpapers, and a bunch in the Miscellaneous category.
29 December 2024 - I added download links for all the wallpaper categories, but they are split into parts because of Neocities limitations on file sizes.
28 December 2024 - Added Material Dictionary 149 and 235, and i made a script to add a lot of images at once, so it won't be tedious to add images anymore.
26 December 2024 - Merry Christmas ! In the video section, i added dynamic descriptions, now every time you change video you will be able to see the title, description, and date of release of the video.
23 December 2024 - Added hundred more images from Windows 7, Vista, Vista Beta / Longhorn, Stock photos, and Windows Mobile wallpapers.
22 December 2024 - Improved Accessibility even more, added new favicons for phones, improved SEO. Added semantic tags instead of divs. I also added a lot of songs in the Music section, and all the wallpapers from Windows 7 and Vista.
21 December 2024 - Improved Accessibility website-wide, now all the images have alt attributes, and it should be possible to navigate through using a keyboard. The alt attributes for the images in the wallpapers section are generic (like Frutiger Aero - Image 1, Image 2, etc.) because it would take absolutely forever to describe every image by hand, but I do describe the images in the other sections. If you notice something else that can be improved upon Accessibility-wise, please email me or a message on the guestbook.

I also divided the wallpapers section in multiple pages, so that the load times will be faster.
20 December 2024 - Overhauled the Music section, added a few songs and a visualizer, and a spinning CD, also the pause and play button have been merged into one. ALSO, i made a video section, finally.

03 December 2024 - Redid the wallpapers section, i added 2 more material dictionary CDs, a few more other wallpapers, and Frutiger Metro wallpapers. In total, there are 660 images.

Buttons and other links

Down below are some links to other websites that i like, and webrings.

Donations

I put countless hours into making this website pack full of resources and it takes me a considerable amount of time. I also will never put advertisements on the site. So i would appreciate greatly if you donated to help me keep this going. But, no pressure at all! It's enough for me that you enjoy your time here, and i'm really grateful for all the people that visited and left comments.

A warning on scams in the FA community

If you've been in the Frutiger Aero community, you've probably heard of Skeuoss, who is present on various social media and runs an ecommerce website. This person is trying to profit off of the aesthetic, while stealing other people's work, using AI to write the description of almost the entirety of his shopify website, including product descriptions. He also runs a website on Neocities, called frutiger-aero.org, that is completely ripped off of another user's website (literally the same code). I include the proof of this in the links down below.

The entirety of his products are drop-shipped, including his aqua mouse, which he didn't make, he only put a sticker on it. I know many people that have ordered his mouse and are still waiting for it months later. The company he runs is very shady, it is registered in some chapel in Ireland, with a New Mexico phone number that never picks up, Skeuoss himself is from Asia.

When his products arrive, if they arrive at all, they often come in bad shape, in poor quality, or not the expected size. I know someone that received a bracelet with rust on it, which is a safety hazard, and shows the lack of quality control. The products are mostly sourced from AliExpress and Alibaba, but are sold at a way higher price. For example, he sells packs of 10 mini MSN Messenger figures $14.99 USD, you can find packs of 100 of the same figures elsewhere for the same price.

Skeuoss defends his drop-shipping by claiming he offers quality control and technical support, but this is not true either. Please avoid him at all costs, and don't support him.
