Mine is currently a leopard print I got from the upholstery samples at living.com, but I’m going to change it soon; it clashes with my new Windows colour scheme.
I noticed that many of you have photos; I can’t do that. For some reason I have to have a small pattern in a dark colour, or I can’t see my icons very well.
ren says it like a catwalk announcer. ‘now here’s cindy sporting a…’
Ive now been spurred into searching for some other ones, and ive now got loads of skiing pictures off the net, and one of some dolphins underwater.
http://www.hottub.net/wallpaper/. It gives you a zip file of (I think) six different Van Gogh’s that you can use.
An picture of (I believe) part of the Bahamas taken from low Earth orbit. High enough that you’re above clouds, and can’t see any land detail, but low enough that you can see the water turn a very pale blue over shallow sand banks. I think it came from http://earth.jsc.nasa.gov/
Very soothing…
I have a very fine image of the old Indian-in-the-headdress test pattern which those of us old enough to remember fondly associate with early TV.
For some reason the test pattern looked really bad when I put it on my laptop, so I have a tastefully tiled image of the NBC peacock, with the desktop icons arranged around each peacock. Very classy.
On the other hand, one guy here at the office has a photo of Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald. We encourage him not to leave his office.
The Philly skyline graces my monitor (shot from across the Schukyll with Boathouse Row in the foreground).
Funny this should come up though. Falcon, Montfort and I discussed this very thing this weekend.
My work NT machine has a Final Fantasy VIII theme, with stills from the cinematics for wallpaper and logo. (I changed the logo and installed themes to annoy the IT drones–they still don’t know how to do that with NT.) My Sparc has an image of the Crab Nebula that RedHat thoughtfully included. My laptop has a Diablo II cinematic still (which I’d better remove before I turn it over to our admin), and my home machines have themes from Thief: The Dark Project (Garrett in front of the haunted cathedral) and Star Wars Ep. 4 (montage of Obi-Wan shots).
I sense that I have once again pegged the geek-meter. I should go now.
I have Webshots set to cycle the wall paper once a day. Right now it is a picture of a covered bridge.
At the office, I have an abstract doodle thing that I made in Paintbrush. At home, it’s a small portion of the navigation chart of the St. Johns River showing the marina where we used to keep our boat.
My daughter has a really neat wallpaper/screen saver with images from the Hubble telescope.
bai yun and hua mei.
At home, I have a picture of Darth Maul, from an EpI promotion poster. At work, I have the same picture, expect my boss Paul’s face is over the original and it says “Darth Paul.”
Yep. I’m a geek.
A third to that motion, and a note that I’m currently using “Pyre.” Ryan Bliss’ art is fantastic

I have a collage of pictures of Ricky Martin.
I have a portrait-style picture of the Gumbys from MPFC.
sailor was kind enough to create for me a collage of the “Fred and Ginger” in Czechoslovakia. As the hockey season has begun, however, I’ve switched it over to Minnesota Wild wallpaper 
That should have been “Fred and Ginger” BUILDING.
<meek>
I have one of Alyson Hannigan and Amber Benson. (the lesbian couple on Buffy.)
Drool…
Mine is currently the one on the left. It’s another webshots pic, by the way 
My current background is also the previously mentioned TV test pattern with the Indian wearing his headdress.
Previous to that, a Hubble picture of a beautiful spiral galaxy, NGC 4414.
When I get tired of the test pattern, waiting in the wings is a picture of the Horsehead Nebula I found through the Astronomy Picture of the Day.
That Monet Parliament is sure tempting, though.
For this who like CG, a good site to browse is http://www.irtc.org/. I’ve got a few from there, and an assortment of others.
I use a program called Autowall that changes wallpaper whenever you start up. The latest version is at http://www.zybermania.dk/index.html, and the original (much smaller) version that I use is at http://www.winsite.com/info/pc/win3/desktop/autowall.zip/. Just point it at a directory full of bitmaps the first time you run it.
