Screen savers and Wallpaper?
There was a time when I used to use lot's of different funky wallpapers and screen savers, but I don't anymore.
My screen saver is the marquee with text, 'cus it take up like zero system resources, and more often than not I don't use any wallpaper at all save for a flat color.
What about the rest of you?
If you want, post your favourite wallpaper here but use the < img src= tag...

In university I had the lab computers set up to change my wallpaper to some scantily-clad supermodels whenever I logged in. Somebody complained to a prof that my wallpaper was obscene (it was a GUY believe it or not) and I got called into the prof's office. After I explained that there was no nudity he let me go like it was no big deal.
After that I always made sure my wallpaper was prominently displayed every time that guy walked by
These days? No wallpaper...

Screensaver, hell my computer is never left alone long enough to start the screensaver, I don't even know what I have it set too.

Here is mine. I just added the wallpaper in the past few months. When I added the second monitor, the green was getting to me.

I don't use a screen saver it's too fucking annoying, after 2 hours my screen shuts itself off that's all. I used to not use wallpapers but now that I have a very quite nice good yeah computer i don't care anymore everything runs top notch !

yup... no wallpaper here. takes up too much system memory. I also had to keep switching pics cause I kept staring at the same pic over and over til I was consumed with hatred.
I just keep a simple color now.

Looks like most people are the same in that they don't usually use a wallpaper or any kind of funky screen saver.
I'm hesitant to put any specific screen saver on my laptop... most of them just use up too many resources and I don't like waiting for a screen saver to stop once I've moved the mouse! ![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

With today's computer speed and the huge amount of memory the graphics card have I find it surprising that people still find there's a difference with and without wallpaper... What kind of machine does everybody have ?? Here's mine :
Athlon 1700+
768 mb Ram
19" LG screen
GeForce2MX video card 64 mb
DVD Rom
32x cd burner
Wacom graphics tablet
Epson Perfection 1650 scanner
kick ass sound system ;P

LOL--even if I had NASA's computers, I'de still be running them at full resource! LOL Always have at the very least 4 programs running at all times, and typically 2 + browser windows open. ![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif) ) I'm a busy woman. Hahahhaha
I don't use a screen-saver either, for the same reason. However, I DO keep a picture on my desktop. It changes from time to time. See--I found the Astronomy Picture of the Day web-site and keep it as my home page. Then, when I find a pic that I particularly like, I just dump it onto my desktop. ![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif) ) Keeps da' perty pictures changing.
I've got some BEAUTIFUL space scenes saved up. Mmmm...Perty!! Hahahha
Huggs!

This is on my home desktop
http://obnoxiousbitch.com/stuff/cgwallpaper.jpg
It's called "CyberGoddess," which just happens to be the name of my company.
I love wallpaper and desktop themes, even though I know they suck up valuable resources. As many hours a day as I spend clickety-clacking away at this box (or the one at work), I enjoy having a little bit of scenery. At work, right now I have a desktop theme from Warcraft III, featuring a big nasty Orc. What's most ironic is that I have never played, and will never play Warcraft (or any other computer game for that matter). In my opinion, the only thing good about games is the graphics! My screensaver comes from another game, EA's "Alice," and stars the Cheshire Cat (which, as I recall, someone is using as an avatar here!). I just LOVE their rendition of that character; tattooed and pierced... and the bits of gore in his teeth (which aren't even sharp -- kinda weird) are simply too fuckin' kewl!

Rox, posting these desktops is interesting. It's funny to look at some of the details of how people keep their desktops.
Like I said earlier, I don't usually have a wallpaper in use, but for the purpose of this thread I put one up.
I find it's more interesting to look at what people have open in their taskbar and the actual icons on the desktop. ![shocked](images/smilies/shocked.gif) LOL
Here's mine right now:
Good grief I am WAY too organized!

![ROFL](images/smilies/rofl.gif) You & me both, babe!
I was asked to change my desktop wallpaper once at work (mind you, a good 85% of my coworkers are MEN), by my former manager (also a man). How could anyone find this even remotely "offensive?" It's freakin' ART for Chrissake!
No one had complained, but he said he "would have to ask" me to get rid of it. He's a good guy, and a young one, but being a manager for the Evil Empire has made him paranoid, I think. LOL
