Topic: Show Us Your Desktop Background!

[shingi_70]

Stop what excatly it says post your desktop background. If my phone and tablet had screenshot functions 8 would post them as well.

[oohhboy]

Your first screen shot is your desktop background. Your second is you once again pimping "product". Your posts just can't help but come off like it's written by a PR firm.

This is the same wallpaper I have been using since about 2001 I think. I made it myself using MS Paint. I actually have an acrylic painting of the same image that I made but when I take a digital photo of it, you can't tell much difference from the digital one anyways. I will be using this until the end of time. It is also my Facebook front page banner too, shows how original I am.

Wait a second... therat? THERAT!?!?!? Is it you? Have you come back?!?!? Oh joy of joys!

Edit: I figure I oughta contribute. I love some of the pics posted here, but I really have difficulty using complex images as my background, largely because I'm a MESS when it comes to having 4,5,6 or even 7 rows of Windows icons on the screen. I've got 3.5 rows on my screen right now and honestly, I feel really proud of how clean it is... ^_^

Anyways, this is a background I accidentally discovered ages ago. I found the original image here and, wanting a black background, used MSPaint to BRUTALIZE it, then STRETCHING it into my current computer's full resolution, resulting in the following image (I'm too embarassed to show my aforementioned rows upon rows of icons):

Honestly, this is far from the original work but I love it. I love the sort of digital-industrial-distressing that happened when I paint-bucketed the Black but purple remained. I love the random Purple stripe along the left. And the font turned out neat even though it was stretched too! Gah, I gotta e-mail this artist again and offer to remunerate him somehow. I've gotten years of mileage out of this background and I ought to give back... especially seeing as how I've been such a philistine with his original work.

um I am not sure how to take that, there was a guy whose name was therat, and there was me, I went by several different name changes but my sig always said to call me THE RAT. But I have grown up since then and learned how to spell.


My image I just made that one day in PAINT when I was bored. I bought some acrylic paints and made a hand painted duplicate that I hanged on my wall.

Yes, I hate having icons on my desktop, along with the toolbar.

I haven't had a game with particularly impressive artwork in a while, but that's changed recently. Here's the desktop image I was using (well, a version of it where the image is mirrored. The real one that's not mirrored is direct download only):


Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

Here's the one I'm using now:


Remember Me

I'll probably rotate through a few Remember Me Wallpapers for a while. This was just the one that was the darkest so icons looked best against it.

I haven't been playing games w/ amazing concept art right now, so I'm just using an old favorite:

I bet you aren't a fan of that Sly trailer from last week.

I bet you aren't a fan of that Sly trailer from last week.

I'm not a fan of the art style. Sly looks like a blue cat with whiskers now and Murray just looks weird in general, but I thought that trailer really captured the motion and energy of the Sly characters well.  So yeah, I have my issues with that trailer, but overall I thought it was a pretty well-done trailer.
