Title: Wallpaper - desktop background
Post by: Ghostbuster on June 10, 2009, 03:13:13 AM
I was wondering which wallpaper you guys like
or are using on your screen?

Anyone with planes from AH in there?

At the moment I have this on:

Have tried lots of different pictures over the years.
Generally end up with something calm, peaceful and soothing.

I have several race cars on one machine (Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, Vettes, Saleens etc.), all types of WWII combat aircraft on my laptop (200+ wallpapers) and AHII screenshots (about 30) on my gaming machine.

I found a great little program years ago called Wallmaster that lets you load as many wallpapers as you want (limited to 50 in the free version) and will rotate them on a timer, on boot-up or manually, will resize them to fit your desktop, etc.  I liked it well enough to pay for the Pro version.

I rotate on boot-up and have new wallpapers daily.

That sounds cool.

Here's a link to Wallmaster for anyone interested:  http://www.tropicalwares.com/wallmast.html

There's no real big advantages to the Pro version other than being able to load over 50 wallpapers.

If you're into combat aircraft (and who here isn't) WarbirdDepot (http://www.warbirddepot.com/) is a great source for wallpapers.  Go to thte Photo Gallery/Wallpapers section.  They've even added widescreen wallpapers over the past couple of months.

Probably Korea, the markings are certainly Post WWII. Note the red stripe in the white bar on the chevrons. Not to mention the US Navy didn't put NAVY in big white letters on the side of it's combat aircraft during WWII.

By the way a squadmate just gave me my new background.  :aok

T-28B Trojan taken at the EAA '08.  Actually a cropped original to fit my desktop.  You can see me in the chrome reflection.

Another one, taken in July '07 in Eau Claire, WI - B17 Nose.  Doctored a little to enhance shadows and bring out the sky.  Wish I had a better camera at the time, was only a 3MP.
