Title: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2008, 04:55:08 PM I change mine about once a week. I just added some Clint Eastwood "Man With No Name" wallpaper today, and I got to wondering. What do the rest of you have up right now? Something movie related? Or just the default background that came with your computer?

Title: Re: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: trekgeezer on April 12, 2008, 06:47:18 PM I've got a 22" widescreen monitor and right now I have something called Ice Planet for my wallpaper. It's a big starfield with a stark blue planet taking up most of the right side of the screen.
I tend to like space and nature pics. Title: Re: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: GoHawks on April 12, 2008, 06:50:04 PM I change mine whenever I get bored with it, which usually varies between a few days and a few weeks. Many times I will use a particularly stunning photo from APoD (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html). I also create my own, usually using stills captured from cartoons edited to show just a character and then tiled.

Post by: Shadow on April 12, 2008, 07:13:17 PM I change mine a lot as well. I'll use anything with a fantastical feel to it, from space ships and outer space shots to spooky castles and monsters. Right now it's a pic of Godzilla from Final Wars.
Title: Re: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: Ash on April 12, 2008, 08:06:03 PM I change mine all the time too.
I've got one friend who has had the same background on his desktop for 4 years! That would be unthinkable to me. My current wallpaper is this pic titled "Paradise Lost". (click the thumbnail to see full size and to save it) (http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/5587/paradiselost800br7.th.jpg) (http://img413.imageshack.us/my.php?image=paradiselost800br7.jpg) A great place to get cool backgrounds is: http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/dbhome.shtml While there, go to the Free Gallery and User Gallery. In the user gallery, you'll see links to each user's site where you can find even more cool pics! :thumbup: Title: Re: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: nshumate on April 12, 2008, 08:32:44 PM I use the program Wallpaper Cycler from Nuonsoft.com. You can set it to any of a number of auto-cycle periods; mine is set to change every half hour, not counting time the screensaver is on.
Right now it's this: (http://www.tachyon-city.com/wp-content/screenshot001.jpg) Title: Re: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: AnubisVonMojo on April 12, 2008, 09:00:31 PM Mine change every few months or so. Right now my desktop has this pic w/o the banner, pricing info, etc:
(http://i13.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/cf/fd/b46a_1.JPG) and I just added the following pic the other day to my laptop: (http://comicsmedia.ign.com/comics/image/article/865/865876/secret-invasion-20080410031844505.jpg) At heart I guess the comic geek inside me will always trump the b-movie lover. :lookingup: Title: Re: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: Derf on April 12, 2008, 10:35:08 PM I'll change mine when I get tired of it, but I just haven't yet. It's what I call the Wall O' Sultry. It's kind of like Hollywood Squares, but with attractive actresses/singers in sultry photos (faces only). Granted, not all are very sultry, but it's difficult to find really good sultry photos. Some spaces aren't filled yet; that's where I keep my program icons. As I find pictures I think are usable, I add them. Here's a smaller version of my desktop:

What's a better photo host I can link to?) Title: Re: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: RCMerchant on April 12, 2008, 10:44:30 PM DERF- I got so disgusted myself with Imageshack...I swithed to Photobucket
http://photobucket.com/ I found it to be MUCH faster,more options (as for size,how to to post in various places...ie-blogs,comments,emails etc...) Title: Re: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: Jack on April 13, 2008, 06:54:07 AM I've just got some pretty scenery picture that came with my computer. I usually change to some sort of winter landscape in, well, the winter.
Title: Re: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: Andrew on April 13, 2008, 07:53:40 AM One I made and have been using since about 1998:

Post by: indianasmith on April 13, 2008, 08:14:35 AM I've got a picture of a sidenotched arrowhead lying on a bed of gravel in a clear running stream . . . mine tend to bounce back and forth between arrowheads and family pics.
Title: Re: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: Rev. Powell on April 13, 2008, 03:39:57 PM Very cool WP, LilCerb. I downloaded it. Makes me want to mix up a martini and put some Martin Denny on the hi-fi.
Title: Re: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: Doc Daneeka on April 13, 2008, 04:12:28 PM On the big comp, my mom has a picture of UB Funkeys. On my laptop, an MS paint collage of the Neon Maniacs.

Title: Re: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on April 14, 2008, 01:01:06 PM I have some of these free ones that I cycle. I like the water pics best.

http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/ Title: Re: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: Killer Bees on April 14, 2008, 10:58:42 PM I just have the work desktop at the moment. The company logo with links to a few info points from the website.
I don't have a pc at home, so no joy there. But when I had my first and only pc about 10 years ago, I had really beautiful nature scenes and space themes that I'd change every few weeks. Title: Re: What computer wallpaper are you using right now? Post by: Dennis on April 19, 2008, 10:02:55 AM I use the wallpaper on our computer to leave messages for my wife, she uses the computer at home way more than I do and at home I have a little bit more freedom than I do at work. On the job I change wallpaper almost daily, generally to what ever I am thinking about at quitting time, right now it's this.
