Actually what's the purpose of a wallpaper in our desktop. in the busy working, play game, prepare a document, we are not seeing or using it. it sees only when we minimize the whole windows and while logon to windows? so is it required? (Anyway it's quite hectic to see a desktop with wallpaper)

So that our IT department can brand our desktops with the corporate logo and remind us who own our lives between 9 and 5.

It's a motivation to keep your desktop tidy, i.e. not getting it cluttered with icons. (Or, getting it completely covered in icons, depending on the wallpaper) You can also show (off) your vacation photos - seeing some pics of valle sagrado on a stressful day gives me some kind of concentration back. If you have strict cubicle rules (no personal items), you can: - come early - decorate your cubicle to your likings - take a photo - cleanup your cubicle - use the photo as background or maybe you have some pic where you make out with the daughter of the boss :cool:

For me, it can help to tune my mood a bit. My company disable wallpaper changing on all our desktop machines and display their crappy motto or something like that on it. To show my discontent, i went as far as hacking into the registry and replace it with my own. I feel much better now. :cool:

Better on the desktop than on the buttock, wouldn't you say? :)

Just in case you have an accident...
I remember my mum always telling me that I had to wear clean underwear in case I had an accident. I still can't fathom the logic in this. Imagine the scene at the infirmary: Doctor: "It was a very nasty accident. Your son was knocked over by a driverless bus on the High Street. The force of the impact threw him through the window of a shop. But we've stabalised his condition and he's going to be alright. By the way, Mrs. Mackay, his underwear was an absolute disgrace". :wtf: So would your underwear be a disgrace if you saw a 20 tonne bus coming towards you without a driver! :omg: -- modified at 7:16 Thursday 10th August, 2006

Why hang paintings on a wall when you will only see them coming into and leaving the room? Why wear nice underwear? It is nice to have and for those few seconds you do see it, it is grand.

eh, stop bugging me about it, give it a couple of days, see what happens.

We're talking about the paintings only, right?

But of the career limiting moves, one of the best :) (depends on the daughter, though)

I don't always run with applications maximized... plus, it's nice to have nice pictures there. For example, I have a lovely black background with the logo from our project[^] on the back. Anyone who walks by my machine when the machine isn't locked and I'm not working with apps full screen can see our "lovely" logo and will immediately want to join our wonderful project.
