Just wondering what everyone has as there background. I loved when we used to have a thread like this.



This is mine: (scaled down, of course)
(Yes, it is french, and means: "You're a girl and I'm a Boy" (It's a quote from a song))

Here's mine. I thought of making it a gradient but the change of shade was too much to bare.

Hey tweety, I've been trying to figure out how to use two different backgrounds on my two monitors. Is that a 3rd party thing, or am I missing something obvious? Using Win 7 btw, if that matters.

I can't really post a screenshot of mine but I will say that I always use a render of the project I'm currently working on. Seeing it all the time (even when I'm not working on it) makes it easier the next time I do work on it because I'll already have in my mind how I'm going to do the next steps. Plus it helps me see things I want to add or change that I might not have seen otherwise.

Lol wow 3ddon what is happening there? :x

I had to re-post mine, the image was kinda wide.

Dango77 24-11-2009 08:22 PM

I go with the same thing as Perfecto, both my Pc's have recent projects on them. My Smiler is grinning at me on one and my Spaceship entry from one of the SM challenges on the other. Not going to see my work on many other screens otherwise! lol

3ddon 24-11-2009 10:12 PM

nice idea perfecto........
but in my case,I'll apply my recent finished work as a wallpaper,then my room mates,friends will comment on it,if really that scene/graphic design/cartoon needs more work,I'll do that and In next work I'll put those comments in my mind.........

psychedelic :p

3ddon 25-11-2009 12:40 AM

psychedelic means........?

stwert 25-11-2009 12:44 AM

It means more or less what the background looks like...

or webster: imitating, suggestive of, or reproducing effects (as distorted or bizarre images or sounds) resembling those produced by psychedelic drugs ...being drugs (as LSD) capable of producing abnormal psychic effects (as hallucinations) and sometimes psychotic states

stwert, if you were using a mac you could just change it without having to use hacks :p
i downloaded something called display fusion, it's free (the paid one has more features though)

i too usually have renders as my backgrounds but a few weeks ago i changed it to other pictures after installing windows 7

probably can't see it but those folders and documents on my desktop are all labeled untitled something... because i usually just put tempory thigns onto the desktop or things i dont know where to put onto the desktop
