Did a search and didn't find a thread, apologies if it's been done already.

So what do you folks have as your wallpapers?

Here's mine currently.

I envy you. I have yet to find an anime wallpaper that will not produce any awkward comments from family members.

And yours (grammar?) is in such good quality; clear, high-def wise.

There are benefits to being up at college and having one's own laptop. If you want the original, I can post it up quick-like.

But all the same, I fail to see how anyone could take offense to this picture if they're not against anime girls as a whole. I mean, there's absolutely nothing explicitly fanservicey about the picture, it's just Saber being gorgeous in a kimono.

I have a loop going. One computer has photos and other such scene things that can fit the screen, while the other has 1080p screenshots of '5cm per Second' and 'Place Promised in our Early Days' cycling. Such a scenic anime.
Too lazy to get my other monitor on here, so you only get my gaming one :P

Warning, obnoxious screen stretch (dual 22" monitors)

If anyone needs any dual widescreen wallpapers, ask me, I have at least 50 sitting around.

Fate/Stay Night- some spoilers for Unlimited Blade Works


http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/SaberKimono.png
I'm normally a Rider man, but damn.

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/SaberMotorcycle.jpg
Awesomely cute picture of Saber on a motorcycle.

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/FateStayNightMontage.jpg
Just an awesome picture of all the cast.

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/ShirouVsGilgamesh.jpg
I love Shirou's pose in this one.

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/Caster-DIVINEBUSTER.jpg
:smallbiggrin:

Can you tell I've been on a Fate/Stay Night kick recently?


Bleach

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/HitsugayaandHyourinmaru.jpg
This is just plain cool.

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/FightToTheLast.jpg
The most "wallpapery" of what I've uploaded.

I've gotten really sour on Bleach, but some of the art is so damn pretty.


Full Metal Panic!

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/TessaTestarossa2.jpg
I have a heck of a crush on Tessa.

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/ARX_8_Rendered_III_by_Illsteir.jpg
I think this one speaks for itself.

FMP's my favorite giant robot show. I love the characters and the mech designs.


Persona 4

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/ChieGuitar.jpg
I'm a Yukiko man myself, but Chie just looks awesome here. Plus, none of my Yukiko pictures are really wallpapers per se.

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/IzanagiProtagonistSplit.jpg
Pretty basic stuff.

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/Persona4Wallpaper2.jpg
Another "Wallpapery" one, but one I really like.

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/ShadowsFall.jpg
Sweet Zombie Jesus this is a cool picture.

Can you also tell that Persona 4 is my favorite video game of all time?


Code Geass

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/KallenCC.jpg
Kallen and C.C. are smoking hot.

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/KallenvsSuzaku.jpg
I dislike Suzaku intensely.

Ah, Code Geass, what a crazy show.


Naruto
http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk275/FireknifeXV/SasukeRetrievalTeam.jpg
The Sasuke Retrieval Team.

This one's ripped straight from the manga. I wish I had more large, good-quality Naruto pictures.

Can they fit 1680x1050 or 1920x1080? If not, they are too small. Stretching is the devil and is not allowed.

In fact, if they can't fit 3360x1050, they're too small.

I'm not going to post my wallpaper for a couple of reasons. Primarily, I don't have a single wallpaper, I've set it to a 30 second random shuffle of my "Wallpapers" folder, which contains around 200 images. And most of those images come from 4walled, which is a 4chan image scraper, so... yeah.

That is about 25 minutes away from my home. The loch is called Loch Eck.
Was on a trip to Whisky-country (Isle of Islay) with my father one morning when we saw the calm of the loch and decided to stop and snap a few pictures.

Save the image to your computer.
Right-click the FireFox icon and hit properties.

Locate where you put the image.
Select the image.

That has nothing to do with firefox. It's all windows's fault. Just google for a .ico converter, and you should be able to solve the problem by converting the image to a format micros***t accepts.

Aye, but then the image would also be rather heavy filesizewise (despite actually being a .jpg), 2mb instead of 600kb.

And, the resized one is still good enough to get what it looks like. Of cource, the original unresized one is way better, prettier and sharper.

My fullsize wasn't even 1mb. So...Yeah. Albient I am using photoshop. but still. Pretty sure GIMP has quality settings as well.

About my OS:

I run Window Vista Home Premium
My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6000
I upgrade to 7 over break.

The icons are Spirited Away icons from an artist on deviantART, will post link if requested.

The operating system is altered via a program known as StyleSelector, allowing me to use custom VisualStyles on Vista.

I have an ObjectDock.

I have DreamScapes, but I don't use it. It's too distracting.

I have a screensaver of myself.

It's an alright desktop, never hurt nobody. But once I upgrade to 7, it will vanish!

A screenshot from a game before. It tied thematically into my earlier photo, which was just a default photo of a sand dune.

This one is awesome. If anyone else is like me and wants a higher resolution copy, I was able to find one here (http://parkerbas.free.fr/images/mina_tirith_2.jpg) (Incorrectly titled, but still).

Some of them, in small form:

I always preferred this (http://www.elfove.mysteria.cz/gondolin.jpg) Gondolin shot. Oh and I've used it as wallpaper before.

@Don Julio Anejo: Very nice photo. I'm wondering, do you have a deviantart?
Sorry, should have answered this before. Unfortunately, no I don't. I pretty much shoot just for myself and even then very rarely as of late (school). The only time I ever posted my photos on an art site was a Russian photography forum for C&C. It's one of the few places I know of that both have a high response rate and where people would tell you exactly what they think, usually along the lines of:

"Take your camera. Take a hammer. Smash one with another. Never touch another camera ever again if you value others' sanity."

Which can be contrasted with telling you that it's great even when it sucks.

On DA I could probably get C&C but I would have to go through the whole pain of it being a Myspace for artists, become friends with people, talk to them, etc, for C&Cing - something too energy intensive for me when I only do this because I like taking nice pictures with no goal other than hang them up on a wall once in a blue moon.

Completely fair. I use DevArt more for my cg, but my photos *seem* to get appreciated, so I upload them occaisonally. I don't really use it for all the myspace crap that comes with it though. Laughing at how bad some people are is occaisonally good though :O

I do like the sound of that russian site though. Critique like that is near impossible to come by.
