What’s your wallpaper?

[Isabeau]

We used to have a thread somewhere (SLU?) so why not.

Mine at the moment. Not super original, but kitty is photogenic so:

Two pictures of our cat Grayson when he was very young. He is four now.

On my laptop I have this at the moment, but I cropped it to fit the screen, toned down the blue brightness and added the word "CHVRCHES" in a matching blue glow across the bottom.

On my desktop with two monitors I have this.

On the third monitor, which is a different computer, I have almost this. But it has a sort of glowing effect applied across it. I can't find the original.

BTW, if you're on Windows 10 and wondering where your wallpaper is, it's at %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\CachedFiles

Sometimes I don't mind going brand endorsement when I like the design. And when I don't want a bunch of weird questions from my co-workers...

My wallpaper actually looks like wallpaper - a dark blue floral pattern. Its just there to be a non-distracting background for the desktop icons and open windows.

Moonlit forest I desaturaed in gimp, otherwise it's random black "Thinkpad" ones I hunted down.

It's called Life in Lavender and I stole it from the Win7 themes.

My current iPad wallpaper is the first image on this page : https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ybxdJ5

If you look further down thaw page, it moves!
Can't get that version to set as wallpaper, though.

Dual monitors... I regularly update with the latest/best picture of Mars

Dual monitors... I regularly update with the latest/best picture of Mars

That's awesome! There is a Mars Environment in SteamVR that is pretty cool. It is a VR environment that is built using photogrammetry from Mars. It's like a little state park with the sign posts that shows you what you are looking at. You can also walk around and check out the Rover. It's a lot bigger than I had imagined it.

On topic: My background is simply all black. I like the contrast with the shortcut icons.

I also have dual monitors, but my number 2 monitor is to the left of my number 1 monitor, so a panoramic wallpaper wouldn't look right, sadly.

This has been my desktop image for several years. It's the intersection of Hyde and Francisco Streets in San Francisco, looking north toward Alcatraz. When I was a school bus driver in the City, I saw many views of the City that were similar to this one. Staring at it during a phone call or some such is very peaceful. It doesn't fill my screen, leaving black borders at the two sides, which makes it easy to identify icons kept there.

It should be noted that the artist took considerable license with the left side of this view. Where trees and cozy looking windows are depicted, the reality is that there's an empty reservoir there. It's been empty all my life; I've never understood its function, now or when it was built.

I think the OS can correct for that, unless you mean you move off the opposite side to get to the other monitor than you would expect.

I use black on my work PC, but mostly because one monitor is orient d vertically, and Wallpaper doesn't play nice with that mix. There are 3rd party programs that could make it work but I can't use that on my work PC.

Couldn't you rearrange the monitors and designate the right-side one as primary?

I have a Quest 2 - but have not connected it to Steam - I will now! Thanks.

You can easily adjust that in Windows - Display Settings! If you need more control use the free version of Display Fusion - www.displayfusion.com/
Surely you need to set up like that for your mouse cursor to move from one to the other correctly!?

I have done. The right side one had to be the primary, because of the way I had to set up my workstation in this apartment. So the wallpaper starts on the right one and continues on the left one.
I suppose that might work with something like the Mars landscape, but other things it just looks bizarre.
How do I keep the right monitor as the primary, but have the wallpaper start on the left? Divide it in two and put it back together differently?
