Desktop Wallpaper Poll
-
I'm sticking with the plain vanilla Windows 2000 wallpaper. I once tried a custom one and it was a nightmare. A lady friend with a new digital camera sent me a very explicit photo of herself, so on a whim I right-clicked it and set it as my wallpaper. Later, when I was expecting visitors, I tried to remove it. Yikes! Every time I rebooted it came back!!! It tooks hours of spelunking to find the multiple copies (with varying names) of that pic on my system, but Windows had no problem locating them whenever it wanted to restore my wallpaper. I still have no idea why it didn't just revert to the default I selected... probably just one of those little flukes that sometimes happen on a Windows PC. I'm not risking that again!

Hmmm I don't recognise the cover art second from the left. Relics? That's the one album that seems to have radically different art every time I happen across a copy.

I cruise the galleries at Alyson Hannigan Corner[^] and when I find a nice new pic of Aly I use it as my wallpaper.

I use Word 2003 at work, Word 97 at home. Still haven't convinced myself it's worth upgrading the latter. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

David Stone wrote: Bummer...no $$$ for new versions of stuff? Yeah. :( Well, I occasionally have a little extra money, it comes real slowly. ;) I finally got Windows XP just recently (from money I earned by working for Marc Clifton :-D ). I hope to get Office XP or 2003 sometime in the near future, but at >$300, that may be a ways down the road. :sigh: David Stone wrote: That could explain the #Dev icon... Actually, I have VS.NET 2002, given to me by a kind CPian, but I'm just starting to use it, and I don't know if it'll ever completely supplant #Dev, especially as #Dev is likely to get support for .NET 2.0, whereas VS.NET 2002 will not. ;) Buying VS.NET 2004 won't happen until after VS.NET 2006 comes out, most likely. :sigh:

Work: a brownish mountainous tiled image that was used by ClanBOB[^] for a while. I think it got lost in one of their many crashes... ;) Home: one of them has Windows XP's Fall Leaves image, the other uses the blue swirly one. Sorry, I don't have XP here, and Ian (who has a pic of Cortana from Halo) doesn't have those wallpapers installed, so that's the best I can do ;)

Another complaint...proprietary format. :) Can't you download the images themselves straight off the WebShots site in jpg format or something anyway?

What I did was set the wallpaper to each picture, then go to the windows folder, and rename the webshots.bmp to something else.:-D "For all of our languages, we cannot communicate" - Christy Moore, Natives
