Show Us Your Desktop Background!
« on: October 27, 2012, 11:47:45 PM »
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...

There was a Signature here. It's gone now.

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?

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'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.
Just some random guy on the internet who has a different opinion of games than you.

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.

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?!?
