Daily Web Page Background Wallpaper
-
A couple of years back, I realized something while working on my website. Looking at the same dull grey background was getting old. So, I created a new feature. I spent almost a day searching for only the best desktop wallpapers I could find. At the end of the day, I had collected 384 unique background images. Then, I created a feature that automatically places a new background wallpaper onto my site, on each day of the year. I ended up liking it so much, that I turned it into something anyone can use on any web page. It seems as though you guys liked my snowfall script. This background feature is one of my favorites, so you may like it, too. It's also something you can use. I made it super easy to implement. Just put this HTML into any web page. That's all there is to it.
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://chromosphere.com/chromosphere/scripts/content/dailybackground/setbg.js" id="chromosphere_background_script_js"></script>
The script even deletes itself once it completes. If you look at your page's <body> element, you'll notice that the "style" attribute has something added to it. The CSS "background-image" property should be referencing an image from https://services.chromosphere.com. That's one of my other websites. Also, a quick FYI - Every once in a while, the server doesn't send the background image file, so hitting reload on your browser usually fixes the problem.

For some odd reason this thread triggered a memory of fun times with wallpapers. When digital cameras were first introduced, a bartender friend of mine sent me a photo of herself completely unclothed. On a whim, I made that image my Windows wallpaper. It was quite a nice thing to see on my screen when I woke every morning, and helped to start my days out right. But by and by I acquired another love interest, and thought it might be a bit awkward to keep my wallpaper, so I deleted it. It came back. I deleted it. It came back. After about a week of exploration I discovered that Windows stores multiple copies of one's wallpaper in all sorts of places, and if it can't find the one it's looking for, it will replace it with a backup. Never again will I mess with the default wallpaper!
