Last week I created a new Desktop background for my main system based on the forthcoming new game, Star Wars: Unleashed.
Here is the finished image:

So what are you currently using as your desktop background/wallpaper?
As I'm currently using my laptop, I only have standard background that came with Windows XP. :( On my main system I have a quite a few to choose from - but I tend to use demoscene graphics and such for backgrounds. Lot's of cool artwork.
I tend to change mine every couple of months, and normally only when I see an image that I really like. At the moment most of my backgrounds have tended to be game related, but I hate just using an in-game screenshot, instead liking to use concept artwork or other artwork relating to a game. I also sometimes like to experiment and create my own backgrounds or take then from motion graphics.
BTW, does anyone know if Vista supports motion backgrounds? It would be great if it did. I know you can make an active desktop in Windows since right back to Windows 98, and then use a webpage as the background and therefore have motion going on, but it would be cool to just be able to use a video file as a background. I thought about this recently after seeing some of the cool motion backgrounds people have been creating for the PSP.
Mine is a picture of all the Loco Roco characters!
I've got an Osu! Tatake! Ouendan! wallpaper on mine. You may well recognise the character......

I don't change my wallpaper. On my Catweasel PC I have the amiga rockets wallpaper, and you know what I have on my emulations barebone system, a Nintendo wallpaper.

My current one is this:

It's by the graphician Danny, from the slideshow Forgotten by Mirage. You can find it in the demosection. This image is way larger than the Amiga's standard resolution, so in the demo you had to use the mouse to scroll the image in order to see it all. Couldn't find the entire image anywhere on the net, so in the end I took several screenshots and pasted them together to get the entire image so I could add it to the site. Tried it out as a wallpaper only a few days ago, and it looks pretty good.
That is definitely a pretty cool image Teho.
On my Dad's computer I have the standard Windows blue background.
Some naughty software that found it's way onto the computer (by no fault of me) seems to have disabled changing of the background, although as I don;t want to change it anyway, I couldn;t be bothered to find out what the problem was.
On my Amiga 500+, I have one of the standard patterns, it is some sort of pattern of light blue dots.
On my PC I have the one from Amiga.org which has the wall being knocked down by a boing ball.
On my PowerBook G3 I have one of the standard MacOS9 backgrounds - a green background with bubbles on it.
Not very adventurous are you Steve! Don't you ever want a fun or unique looking desktop Steve?
I like the quick covering comment there Steve regarding your dad's computer! :lol: Does your dad have virus and firewall software running? I know you tend not to yourself and from your post it sounds like you do need some!
At the moment, this is mine:

Nice picture. Personally I would rather have a Ferrari F1 car though. ;)
It has some Mcaffee crap that Dell installed.Quote:

I did run some web based spyware scanner on it which I think deleted something but I'm not sure. It was recomended to me by some people in #killspyware on Wydryde.
And my desktop is fun! Boing balls look much better than Windows.
I have random pictures of women on the WB screen and random pictures of A Space Odyssey 2001 and 2010 within the drawers.
I had a subscription a year or so ago with Game Wallpapers.
Got 269 wallpapers and use a wallpaper changer for a different wallpaper on boot up.
Nice wallpaper site.
Interesting, but what format does it save the pictures in?
If you take a look at the Dream17 wallpapers, you'll see the one I'm using in the top right corner. It's the one with SuperFrog!
Wallpaper.

Can't beat a bit of Walfrido. He's a Hawaiian artist who specialises in using light - check out the light shining through the wave!
He has some lessons on his website so you can see how he creates his paintings.
My current background: :rolleyes:

Done with a special photographing technique I just developed called "macro photography of the monitor's screen" ;)
This one, from some game unknown to me.
Nice image.
Aion: The Tower of Eternity is a fantasy MMOROG involving flying and aerial combat. Looks quite cool. It has been out in Korea since Nov last year and it due for a western release in the autumn this year. The company behind the game, NCsoft, also made the Guidwars game.
