Wallpaper- The eclipse wallpaper that comes with Windows, although I sometimes use random Photoshop plugins to make a background. Screensaver- The A-Team right now, but I may get a Dale Earnhardt Jr. screensaver sometime. -Brianjedi ---

The office computer has our company name, slogan, and a list of all the people who work it. I have to update it about once a month. I recently changed my office computer to an alphabetical list of the 18 languages of all my cast CDS. Soon to be 20! ---

The other day at work, I downloaded a US Flag wallpaper from [http://www.rock105i.com](http://www.rock105i.com) (the flagship station of Lex and Terry, but that’s not why I listen, in fact, I don’t listen to them). Had to rearrange my desktop to get the shortcuts out of the stars, made the Windows desktop white, and parked the shortcuts in the bottom white stripe. Don’t tell the STO. ---

Screen Saver- I still have a Napster Screen saver. It has the Napster cat’s head bouncing about the screen. Wall paper- I have a picture of a dragon weaving in and out of a pentagram. ---

I’ve been through quite a few backgrounds. I’ve been through a lot of digitalblasphmey, and othersites. I now have one I picked up someplace, it’s an Apple OSX background (I think) ported to windows. My screen saver is of Earth, from about 38k above Jackson in Geosync orbit. Cool. ---

I don’t have a screen saver, my monitor just blanks itself after 10 minutes and shuts itself off after another 5. I use a random wallpaper changer so my wallpaper changes every time I start up. Some of my favourite wallpapers: - A scene from _Godzilla 2000_, with the big G backlit against a huge fireball. - A Ford GT40 in the rain at Le Mans in the mid-60’s. - A lineup of three NASA lifting body aircraft. - A pair of SR-71 Blackbirds in the desert. - Ayrton Senna (F1 driver) mentally preparing himself before a race. - Gilles Villeneuve (another F1 driver) sliding through a turn at Monaco. - A MiG-29 engulfed in flames, from a pair that collided in mid-air at the Paris air show a few years ago. (Note: the pilots of both planes ejected and landed safely.) - A computational fluid dynamics model of the Thrust SSC (the first car to break the speed of sound). I’m beginning to see a pattern here. They’re all explosions, fast cars, and fast airplanes. ---

Wallpaper’s a shot of a rather attractive red head (fully clothed, damn it!). Screen saver’s the last version of _After Dark_, which I’ve set up to rotate through the various selections randomly (except for a couple of them, can’t stand Out & About). ---

[http://www.webshots.com](http://www.webshots.com) for my screensaver and often the wallpaper. I’ve put in various pretty lady shots I’ve gathered from wandering the web. Sometimes other pictures from [digitalblasphemy.com](http://digitalblasphemy.com) ---

At home I have a “Slide Show” screensaver that flips randomly among dozens of photos of LeAnna Scott, Lexa Doig, Eliza Dushku, Alyson Hannigan, Michelle Trachtenberg, a certain female Doper and many anonymous lovelies. The wallpaper is usually one of these. At work my current wallpaper is Michelle Trachtenberg in the leather pants from the new sixth-season publicity stills. The screensaver is the three-D waving Windows logo one, only instead of the logo I’ve got it set to a close-up of Maggie Cheung in costume as Irma Vep. ---

Wallpaper: Mrs Phoenix Screen saver: slide show of my fave actresses and singers (Winona Ryder, Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock, Demi Moore, Natalie Imbruglia and so on). The wife is cool with both ideas. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-whats-on-your-screen-saver/78592.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-whats-on-your-screen-saver/78592.md?page=4)
