High rez wallpapers.
« on: March 10, 2007, 08:40:53 AM »
I suggest everybody post their favorite wallpaper or two.  Specifically something large ehough to look good on a 19" lcd.

Here is one of mine.  I will post later with others.

Yo Ober.  If this takes too much storage space give us a yell!

I may be technically off-beat here, but I don't use a wallpaper because of the memory it wastes.

Plain blue background for me...

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

I change colors often and on each machine I use, but it is almost always a plain solid color background for me, too. Only recently have I started using pictures of my daughter as a background, but even then I usually center it amidst the solid color.

I like the solid colors. Right now mine are 0x32325A, 0xFFFFC6, 0x800000, 0x9AD0D0 and 0x46007D.

Wallpaper also slows boot times.  But I have to have something new or at least different regularly.  

As far as memory goes, I certainly understand that!  I run 2GB so I don't worry much, however I didn't always have that luxury.

Good B&Ws are rare and fun!

Valley from the top of Devil's Marble Yard in the Shenendoah Valley

It's actually Mt. St. Helens in Washington. My dad took the photo when we went on a hike last year. We're planning to climb it this summer
