Are you a plain jane or do you have a background on your computer?. and if you do does it have special meaning behind it?... Also do you do the donwload background and screen savers or do you just save pictures of backgrounds?... On my computer wich is a desktop, i actually just changed it. i found this picture of chester bennington from linking park, hes in the middle of screaming (singing) in one of his songs. he had a nice green shirt on that match his tatoos up his arms and on his chest. its areally good pic of him.... No it has o special meaning,though i love love linking park. They are a wonderful band. if you dont know who they are. you should check them out. they are like a soft rock.and have a few heaveir songs. but they sing about real stuff real feelings. i think that is what makes me like them. Your turn:)

I just changed my background though. But the longest I had was a picture of a Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. Driving is one of my passions and I've always been fascinated with cars. This, however, is my most favorite car. I like it's looks and most especially what it can do under the hood. I think the special meaning of it is that it really represents my passion and of course, it represents me. There aren't many Skyline's here in our country. I could probably count all of them them with my fingers. I just saw 2 of em, an R34 and an older one, R32. The R32 was on the road and my goodness the driver pushed the pedal and the car almost flew . Love this car.

I did not specify my computer's background. But to make myself feel comfort when using my computer, I choose the picture I feel comfort. I used the sea view for my computer's background. Later I will find the greenery type of picture because the greenery picture will be good foe eyes.

I have a new computer so i just chose one of the pre installed backgrounds that came with it, it is of a turtle swimming in the ocean. i thought it was really pretty and calming, on my old computers i have had many a different downloaded background, usually pictures of the kids or sometimes Elvis presley or Owen hart. But i think i will be sticking with the turtle for now as he is really cute and chills me out :)

OoO yes the sea always makes me feel relaxed. and the ones in the backgrounds look so much prettier then the sea i have right here in town. the ocean with the waves are pretty dont get me wrong but in the backgrounds you find its usually pretty blue clean water... oh i love it!

hi, i change the background of my PC frequently. But most of the background pictures i aopted are the beautiful view of the nature. for me, i like natural worl very much.living in the place that surrounded by the colorful plants and flowing the fresh air are really attract me .however, i am living in the city that far away from the green world. so having a picture of nature as background may be a compensation for can not experience the wild world all the time.

I actually like to make my own wallpapers. It kinda gives my desktop this genuinely personal feel to it. Haha. For almost two years I used this one I made inspired by something I heard in math class. We were discussing shortcuts in solving these freaky equations and our prof said that the only true key there is K.I.S.S., which meant "keep it simple, stupid!" Lolz. So yeah, for two years I was welcomed by my computer with that sick but hilarious statement, and it never failed to motivate me. Haha. xoxo, ajhie!

Hahahaha keep it simple stupid!! trhat is too funny!. i can see why you would like to have that up there.and if it motivates you everytime. it well was worth having it on there for 2 years:)... so when you create your own background do you like use photoshop to throw things together or. what do you do?

Yep, I simply put pictures and text together to make my wallpapers. I kinda have this weird habit of taking pictures of every interesting I see with my camera phone and it's from there where I usually get my images. And remaining true to my prof's words, I always make sure that I keep my backgrounds simple and... nice. Haha.

I have a desktop to which I sometimes download backgrounds. Right now, it has a nice woodsey, colorful picture on it with lots of trees. I sometimes put up a picture that myself or my son has made. On my laptop which I am using now, I have a picture of my only granddaughter as she is walking off the soccer field at a tournament in which she played. I often put a picture of her on my computer, by herself,or perhaps with her boyfriend. I get tired of looking at one and just hunt up another one I like and put it there. I know I can always change anytime I like. It's nice that you don't have to look at a plain colored screen like we did in earlier days. As for screen savers, I usually use the collection of pictures I have on both my desktop and laptop for my screen saver. It really doesn't matter, considering I don't sit here and watch the screensaver anyway. Mine is also set to black out at a given time.

I don't mind what's my desktop of computer. I don't care what it is. Because I don't have time to look after it, after I open my computer I will open IE or play games. All of those let me can't see my desktop, so I don't much care about it. What I care is the color of the IE and my game, I want to protect my eye. I'm near sight now. I 've changed the IE page color all to green, but I don't know why mylot just keep the white except this response column.

Hi, I have a destop computer and I always have something personal as a background on it. Right now is a photo of my oldest leopard gecko, Wrigley, that I took recently. I alternate them every once in awhile. For awhile, I'll use the one I use for my avatar (my 5 dogs) or I'll put one of of my youngest gecko. I just change it when I get tired of seeing a certain one for awhile. Have a great day! Char :-)

Hi, well what I have on my background is a default Windows XP background, I like it because it's simple. I like to have my backgrounds simple yet stunning and does not take up too much space so that start-up time will not be affected, I like to start-up fast. I don't really much care about my wallpaper since I don't usually see it, with all the full screen mode and all happening in my computer.
