Windows 98. It's basically just a darkish blue background. There's a multicoloured line (it starts off red, then becomes yellow, green, then blue) on the top right. The red and yellow lines separate the words Microsoft (and a little picture of a window :D ) with the words Windows 98. However, when the computer restarts, our "Plus!" wallpaper comes up.........Risk! Whoo-hoo! :D

But normally, it's pretty boring :p (can't wait till she gets her own computer so she can put up a :yakko: :wakko: :dot: wallpaper. ;) )

I currently have a picture of Yuna from FFX-2 (I have no shame) on my desktop, until I can find a suitable wallpaper of either Kairi, Mekaneck, Orko or The Aqua Teens. :D

Most of my wallpapers come from Webshots (http://www.webshots.com), which is a free program/service you can sign up for to download new wallpapers. What I like so much about it is that you can keep your wallpapers in "collections" (you can have a bunch of wallpapers in one "collection" file), and can use the program as a screensaver (it displays the images in all of your collections at random).

This picture (http://www.webshots.com/g/25/519-sh/12969.html) is one of my favourites from Webshots.

This isn't my computer but me and my dad teamed up and put a big ol' Seattle Mariners logo or a pic of Safeco Field. :D But we changed it a week or two ago and now it's some kind of space station with stars and galaxies in the backround.

I'm glad you asked this question. I'm using a wallpaper called White Magic from this site called DigitalBlasphemy.com (http://www.digitalblasphemy.com) .

The owner of this site turns something seemingly insignificant and taken for granted into an artform. You wanna talk talent? This is your guy. Just go look at some of his work and you won't believe the amount of detail that has been painstakenly put into these images. Take this one for example: Cobalt Daisy (http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/dbgallery/5/cobaltdaisy1152.shtml) . If you do, be sure to have a recepticle to put your drool in.

Basically my point is, if you want some kickass wallpaper, go check this site out.

Alyssa Milano is really hot!

I used to have a picture of Jaymee Ong, then I had one from the comic Storm Riders, now I've gone to back to the Nike Freestyle wallpaper. I might have to change it soon...

A wallpaper? I have many. The one in my bedroom has Batman and Superman on it. Since those are two of my most favorite heroes. The one in my living room has no wallpaper. The one in the kitchen has flower pattern on it.

I'm proud of my current wallpaper. To celebrate the release on Tuesday I have the cover the Episode II DVD (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006HBUJ/toonzone03/002-2452344-8348821). It's pretty nifty because it shows both discs partially coming out of the side. :cool:

Now I must sit and wait until Tuesday. :(

I am using the Toon Zone's All Star Jam, Year Anni. picture from the Drawing Board.

It fits it nicely, and reminds me of the great work others put into it to make it as cool as it was and is. :)

A nice Gundam Wing wallpaper featuring Wing Zero from Endless Waltz. This will probably change soon, though, as my wallpapers frequently do.

It's the actual size on my desktop, and the IMviroment I'm using is this Marvel's Black Cat one. It's pretty tight, but I couldn't find a pic anywhere.

The wallpaper I'm using currently, happens to be of Desdemona and Othello embracing (http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/archives/images/tv/high_noon/love1.jpg) from Gargoyles. Two of my favorite characters from that series.

For those who don't go looking, it's Zero Enna from Pilot Candidate.

On my Powerbook: just a generic desktop pattern (the green-colored plaid pattern in System 7.5). Given the Powerbook's age/lack of displaying above 256 colors, probably won't bother installing software on it to display desktop pictures...

On my Power Mac (still in storage 2000 miles away): IIRC, the last pictur was either of the Golden Gate bridge or of the Iron Giant.

For quite some time, it has been a pattern that was in the computer's list of options. I do not like character designs. It took a while to convince my father to stop changing it back to the default, which was not even that bad. :p

Can't you drag a pic into the Desktop Patterns window? (granted, I'm not too aware of any possible limitations of System 7.5 on a PowerBook, let alone the know very much about 7.5.;)) I know pics don't look so great at 256 colors, but at least it would be a change if you're tired of patterns.

Apple didn't build automatic desktop-picture-handling capabilities into its OS until OS 8 (the next OS up from the circa-1993-written 7.5). Thus, I'd have to install some extra software, which wouldn't be too hard; it's just that I'm not sure how good it'd look at 256 colors (the limit of my ancient Powerbook's display capacities). You can drag a pic into the "Appearances" control panel on OS 8 and higher... </end Mac OS tips>

I was using the Aqua Teen Hunger Force wallpaper available here mixed with some pictures from Mission Hill, InuYasha, Cowboy Bebop, and Home Movies. Then I switched it to the 12-18-01 Peanuts parody from this page (http://www.big-big-truck.com/bebop/parody.html) on a simple black background, because it's just so good.
