Wallpaper: A wolf moving through a forest.
Screensaver: the Windows walls/maze thingee.
Screensaver: the screen goes black. Sorry. That’s pretty boring, isn’t it?
Wallpaper: a picture that my boyfriend and I drew in Paint. We were bored one day, so we started drawing little cartoons, and I liked it so much that I made it into my wallpaper.
My wallpaper is Charwoman from the Monty Python Complete Waste Of Time CD that came out… um… damn, 7 years ago? I’ve had the same wallpaper for seven years? Hm, maybe that means it’s lucky.
No screensavers. They just piss me off.
Wallpaper - photo of the band Crowded House
Screensaver - a Neil Finn (of Crowded House) with a guitar appearing and disappearing
Wallpaper - At home, the cover of the single for Depeche Mode’s Enjoy the Silence. The blue background with the white rose and the the words written in Eric Oehler’s version of the Violation Font. At work, I have the crop circle design from Apoptygma Berzerk’s Welcome To Earth album.
Screensaver - At home, the windows maze. I made the walls and ceiling from a bitmap I made. It’s all black with vertical white lines on it and gives it a surreal and disorienting look when in the maze. I don’t have a screensaver at work.

Wallpaper and screensaver both came from

I use the second “Jago” wallpaper, and the “Atigeini Lilies” screensaver. On password, and set to start up very quickly, which is moderately annoying, but less annoying than what the 2 year old does when he decides to work on the computer.
Wallpaper: B&W TV freeze-frame of Irish sit-down-&-sip-the-scotch comedian Dave Allen, from “Dave Allen At Large”. A few fans have set up websites for the bloke…
Screensaver: the default Vaio that came with this computer.
wallpaper - an aerial view of Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium and Adler Planetarium (and a bit of the area to the south) that I stitched together from MapQuest.
screensaver - MS Science, “dent”, using the wallpaper.
Wallpaper: changes on a regular basis. Right now, it’s a still from The Matrix, where Neo sees the world as strands of code, centered on black. For the longest time, though, it was a still from REM’s video for “I’ll Take the Rain,” centered on a near-navy blue. A long time ago, it was computer generated flames taking up the whole screen.
Screensaver: A mock-up of the coding from The Matrix.
No wallpaper. No screensaver. No reason to change that.
Wallpaper: False Colour Image Of The Moon,
from one of NASA’s Digital Artists.
Screensaver: Nyet. I Hate Them. Just Use Hibernate or Standby, or whatever that’s called.
I never understood the meaning of “wallpaper” on a computer monitor. I am weird that way.
My monitor proudly sports pictures from Chevy’s website of the Avalanche because some day I will have one, the 3/4 ton kick ass Avalanche.
No screen saver. Screen savers are evil and pointless. Today’s monitors don’t need them. My monitor shuts down after 20 minutes. Even the Window’s version of screen savers can create problems.
I heard this from some tech site “Your best ‘screen saver’ is the power button on your monitor.” Makes sense to me.
Wallpaper: A jpg of the painting Ophelia. This has been described as creepy by some, but it suits me fine.
Screen saver: Count me with those who don’t have one. Completely pointless.
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Mista Kotta! Mista Kotta. I’m gonna change my wallpaper to Celebrity Boxing wallpaper.
You have your choice of
And my favorite, Fridge vs. Manute
I’m going to see if I can get framed prints. They’ll go so well with the Paula Jones mouthpiece which I got of eBay.:rolleyes:
No screensaver on my home PC. Work PC I used to have set to password screen come up.
Wallpaper, I mix it up. Often just plain white, other times a pic from my background graphix folder.
Work:
Screensaver: 3D Maze that came preloaded on Win NT
Wallpaper: a blown-up photo of a postcard showing a Buick dealership and Mobilgas station circa 1957.
Home:
Screensaver: A series of scans of the '59 Cadillac catalog which float around the screen.
Wallpaper: A picture of the Cadillac Ranch in Texas taken by a friend of mine on a recent cross country trip.
At work I have a Mac with 2 monitors. I scanned some images from an issue of Hellblazer. One monitor has John Constantine with a lit cigarette in a seedy bar. Lots of shadows, including under his eyebrows, and the trail of cigarette smoke. The other monitor is a drawing of London with a crimson sky background, and the words London’s connected to everything. It’s the dark heart of the world. The ruling seat of the secret kings of earth.
At home, it’s a scan from Juxtapoz magazine of Italian street art. It looks like a bunch of tortured souls trying to escape hell through a hole that opened up in the sidewalk, but can’t because they’re becoming entombed in the stones.

Wallpaper: a collage of Daisy Fuentes in black lingerie. She has that smoldering, come-hither look that I love.
