and why did you choose it as your background? does it mean anything to you?Mine is a picture of "rice terraces", we took this picture when we went to Banaue,Ifugao last December, It seems everyone notice how beautiful it is. For me, it's more than beautiful, it's relaxing so when I my eyes get tired,I look at it and get some eye relaxation.
how about you? what's on your computer?

The desktop background on this computer is always changing. It's always changing because my sister and I both share this computer, and we both will argue over what gets the background choice for the day. Depending on what she wants to put on the desktop, I usually win.
Let's see...in the past week, we've had a bright green Invader Zim with Gir, two sheep, some blue fractals, and now we have vectorized roses. They look very nice.
On the computer in my room, however, it happens to be Amy Lee at the moment.

desktop background plays a very improtant role to ppl like us who sit in front of the system for a long time.... if we put the picture of the thing tat we want to acheive in life then whenever we see it it acts as a inspiration to us. i have put a AUDI car as background as i wish to buy one soon in my life..

Some people keep the same background all the time. I am not one of those people. I get bored and change mine at least twice a week. Right now, there is a silly picture from a commercial on there. One of my friends has a picture of the Queen Mary 2 on hers. The first million and a half times I saw it was okay, but now I am so sick of looking at that ship, I don't know what to do. One time I got so tired of looking at it that I tried to change it. She was so upset, that she nearly gave birth and she wasn't even pregnant,LOL.

I change my background often as I get bored looking at the same image everyday. Right now it is a computer manipulated picture of a watermelon and a watermelon slice in the corner and the rest of the screen is a bright green color. I picked it because watermelon reminds me of summer, my favorite season. By the way, I get all of my wallpapers from deviantart.com

I work regularly on two computers, so I will give you the desktops for both. The one at work is a desktop featuring the logo of the San Francisco 49ers, my favorite NFL team, and the slogan "faithful."
Meanwhile, on my personal laptop, the desktop image is of the Air Jordan XIV, the red/white/black colorway. This was, in my mind, the sleekest design for the Jordans, so I've always loved them, and the simple background shows.

Dollars, bundles of dollars. I place it there so that I can always see it,visualize it and remember to earn as much of it.

My desktop background is a landscape of forest. I don’t really bother to change it frequently. I only change it when I see something in green color that I really like. The reason I choose the green color is because it is good for eyes, especially after spending long hours in front of the computers. LOL

I love my background right now, it has changed a lot in the past...but I think this one is a keeper for quite a while! I love it. It is this cute orange tabby kitten, holding it's paw in it's mouth like it is suckings a thumb...or thinking hard! And it has a cute litte smile! :) Sadly, I can't find the picture back over the internet! :( So I can't show you! But it is so cute!

At work, my desktop is a picture that a friend of mine took at a sculpture park in St. Louis. It is one of my favorite sculptures there, and also a great picture.
At home, I don't have a picture on the desktop of my desktop, but on my laptop, I have a screen shot from the old TV show Firefly, from one of my favorite scenes.

I am always changing my desktop background. Right now I have a picture of my two grandson's that has been redone with a sketch program. I usually have pictures of my grandsons on there but I sometimes put up animal pictures. And I put up special ones at holiday time. Here is a picture of my desktop background....

My Desktop background is blue -- something has been set-up by the manufacturer. I don't like "noise" desktop background because I don't feel comfortable and it is not getting me some eye relaxation when looking at it.

This is what I chose for my background. It came with my computer. I also have the aquarium setting for my screen saver. I can sit here for a while just watching the fish. So relaxing!!
