What's your wallpaper/screensaver?

This topic has come up in a couple of other forums I belong to and it's been interesting to see and hear about what people use as their computer wallpaper and screensavers. On the photography forum, everyone used photographs they had taken, and on the Decades forum, they mostly used what came with the computer or something they had downloaded from the Net.

So, what does everyone use here? My screensaver is a bunch of photos I've taken and my wallpaper (which I change every couple of months) is this photo I recently took:

dreaming of flight

Come on, it's show and tell time!

I love the last one...but my transparent terms are too hard to read with it.

Mine is odd.

It's a nice photograph. The Space Shuttle is cool. I'm particularly enamored with it, but it was an interesting background.

When I find a better photo of a roller coaster, I'll replace this ;)

My wallpaper is a few pictures together. The back is a scene from the anime Love Hina. I put this up at the end of last school year when I was having many test. It would remind me to get of my computer and study. :) Then during the begianing of the summer I was playing Solitaire alot, so I put some of my good games onto my wallpaper. ;)
I am thinking of changing my wallpaper soon for the new school year, but until then, This is what I have.

This rather interesting that this topic came up when it did...

For a while, I've been using Digital Blasphemy pictures ( www.digitalblasphemy.com ), but just last night, Michael put this link ( http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/ ) up in tigerbolt, and naturally i clicked on it :p. i found a really cool, and rather simple landscape program. so, with just playing around, i made a few shots. you can see them at http://wolos.d2g.com:89/terrainpics . be forwarned, some pictures are kinda big (3 MB for an 1152x864 render), so if you're on dialup, you may want to go and get a snack while you wait for it to download :D.

i don't know, but i kinda like the renders i've made. it's just kind of fustrating how long it takes to render some (so far, i've had one go for 2 hours and 15 minutes, while i slept). otherwise, i like playing around and making pics like this.

my wallpaper is a arial pic of my house from mapquest.com

I'm like Ian on this one...i made my own wallpaper using Terragen.....this is the one i'm using right now, it's ok but not the best since i just started using this last night...

those arial photos have to be at least a year and a half old. our school hasn;t looked like that in a really long time, and a lot of roads by me aren't there. hehe

I have been using this one for a while. In Feb. it only had pictures of build season, then after each competition, I add more pictures too it, and take some out. Currently I only have one from NASA/MD, but hope to be adding more soon.

Yay! other people than me use it! That program is simple and it rocks, reminds me of bryce but more in a layer form.

Terragen seems really cool so I just downloaded it. But, I am so confused. Can some one give me a few pointers to get me started on a landscape?:confused:

this is my walpaper, but i use the flying through space screensaver (still the best and always will be)

ECarlson

15-09-2002 22:45

And, for my screensaver, I just have the monitor turn off after 20 minutes. Why have a screen saver, when nobody is there to see it?

Also, I wouldn't want a screen saver to start up and waste CPU cycles while I am running an operation like a hard drive defrag.

Jon Lawton

15-09-2002 22:53

No image. XSetRoot to solid black.

No screensaver. Screen blanking in some time-interval I don't rember.

My mom doesn't like it... she says it makes it look like the computer is "off."

Wallpaper? Who actually sees their wall paper? I rarely do, I just have stuff open. But It is mostly black, and I can see the edges where I have the icons. Anywho, this is it.

Its only 1024x768 but with background set to black, it looks fine.
Screensavers are silly.
Monitor off 20 minutes.

Currently, at work just a black background. The reason being so I can see when people try to sneak up on me.

At home just a customized version of the editable bitmap that you make in windows for the background.
