    Since i am using Windows 8 on all my PC.

    I am using Windows theme where all the images i have done change each 30 minutes.

    When one is done, i put it the folder for this so i changed all the time.

    Been playing more with fractals lately, so usually have my newest one as my desktop. A friend named this one for me. A Mystic Eye.

    Wow, that's nice Ameesa. It reminds me of a couple of Apophysis 3D fractals I did a few years ago. I especially like the colors, though I'm not sure I could look at something like that on my monitor for any length of time because of it's brightness.

    Which fractal software did you use to create it?
    Apophsys 2.X. On my home monitor it's darker then my work monitor. That might be why it seems bright to you and okay to me.

    I use one of the subtle blue themes that came with the computer. I tried rendered images as a desktop background, but found it hard to see and select the icons clearly.

    I'm game.

    I like Green so you can imagine... lmao

    I like the old side bar from Win 7 so there is a pack that was developed that works in Windows 8/8.1 so I have all my handy gadgets. I'm also not a fan of MS icons so I do my best to customize those too. Thank GOD for DeviantART so I can do that.

    Two monitors...

    These are all so much fun- and beautiful. I'll have to go see how to center mine and get it proportional, mine wasn't "fit."
    I adore Abby Sciuto from NCIS. Missing Ziva.

    EDIT: Well, duh, that wasn't hard. There was a "stretch" or "center" etc. Kharma- my render was originally 1700- 2000 pixels wide I think. Don't know about the height.

    Here's with it centered.

    there are no icons on my desktop. I always hid all the icons and then ad a desk top tab to the toolbar below. Makes it really handy because i don't have to reduce a window to access the stuff on my desktop. Also i have all my short cuts in folders, one for 3D aps, one for 2D aps etc, makes this really easy to find

    My computer has a picture of my computer. Actually it's a picture of my art desk. Some day I'll get a real art desk.

    I avoid shortcut icons. I heard it wastes computer resources.

    LOL Denny! I did some of my best art while at the beach! I'm a work on the floor type person anyway. (Even when I had a desk.)

    Greetings,
    Embarrassingly, mine had been the bog-standard one that came with the OS upgrade I recently installed. I see it rarely enough...

    I freely admit that reading this thread shamed me into putting my current major WIP project as my background, and I'm happy that it did. I normally render at 4x3, but it works pretty well at a desktop resolution of 16x9 also.

    I'm not sure I should attach it at full resolution, though. At 2560x1440 it's a bit big, so I cut it to 25% (1280x720).

    ...yeah, 1,920 x 1,080 is an odd render size. Then you have to compensate for that small portion taken up by the lower task bar.

    AHA!! That would make sense. My old laptop was darker, mostly because my eyes are very sensitive to light, but this puppy is LCD rather than LED, and doesn't bother me as much, so haven't really played with the brightness as much as I did on the old one.

    My desktop is the field of galaxies in the Hubble (et.al.) GOODS image.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Observatories_Origins_Deep_Survey

    Keeping in mind that the all the points of light (except for a couple of nearby really faint stars) in the image are galaxies, and that the area of the sky covered is about the size of a pin head held at arms length, it continually reminds me of the immensity of the visible universe which is itself incomparably smaller than the part beyond what we can see.

    I like my backgrounds on the darkish side to avoid eye-burn, and with no large colored areas that hide my desktop icons. This image works well. On my Windows8 machine I use its graphic login password mechanism and simply click on three particular obscure galaxies to authenticate myself.

    I could sit looking at that image for ages wondering the possibilties of what is out there.
