Figured this'd be a good place for everyone to share their fancy or stylish desktop backgrounds. I have about thirty wallpapers that rotate on shuffle every five minutes, but this is the one I have right now:

As you can see, I'm a fan of a minimalist desktop. I even got rid of the toolbar because I find it so very ugly.

Now, let's see your's!

I tend to pick a background based on a game I'm currently playing or, barring that, the last game I played where I thought the wallpaper was especially decent. I tend to go for calming darker backgrounds that are either black or blue in coloring, which also allows standard windows text to be easily read. So that being said...

Daaaamn. I'm definitely stealing that.

You can definitely find larger versions of that image online with a simple "Last Story Wallpaper" Google search. The forum software started glitching when I tried to post the larger size I use for my desktop, so I posted a smaller one.

Good, because it a bit too small for me. Is it on their website maybe?

EDIT: NVM, realized what you said.

I remember a older topic like this on here when looking back on the forum. In any case I have a Rarity background for one reason at the moment and that is till the VA gets on Twitter. Here is my current one of her.

I usually have Fluttershy ones

Just changed my wallpaper.

BnM, can I get a full size copy of that?

MegaByte · « **Reply #11 on:** October 28, 2012, 02:02:43 AM »

The URL's in the bottom-right corner, which includes a bunch of others.

I'm boring. I have no wallpaper.

See, back in the day, having a wallpaper set would actually slow your computer down. If you had a slow computer to begin with, it really sucked.

I've never been one to set wallpapers ever since those days.

MegaByte · « **Reply #13 on:** October 28, 2012, 02:19:20 AM »

Occasionally, I find something cool that's been posted recently on APOD and use that.

You don't deserve to have Ron Swanson's Pyramid of Greatness as your wallpaper, Insanolord, you don't follow his Libertarian principles.

I don't cook meth either, that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the great character of Walter White.

You don't get to see pictures of my son, weirdo.

The 1980's are calling, they want their computers back

I am trying to put more Kirby into my daily life:

It is currently this:

Before it was a fan wallpaper for the game FTL. Anybody who has played FTL understands this.

And before that were some fantastic Xenoblade wallpapers but nowhere as fancy as that animated background...

That Ron Swanson wallpaper is terribly ironic. Also, how many icons and background services do you need?!?

Jesus Shingi, you just don't know when to stop.

I guess I'll join in.

My desktop accesses a folder with pictures and changes. Here are a couple.
