- brnt 5y agoWho spends time looking at their wallpaper? I couldn't tell you what my desktop background is.
- bananamerica 5y agoI'm pretty sure that wallpapers are something you put so that others can see.
- 0des 5y agoIt keeps my Bonzi Buddy entertained when I'm busy working.
- utexaspunk 5y agoMine's been solid black back since 1986 :)

- xdennis 5y agoMine's #333 since 2003... is what I'd like to say because it rhymes, but it's actually since 2013. I tried black, but it's easy to confuse for the monitor being off since I don't have any fixed elements on the screen.
- Findecanor 5y ago#444 since 1997, more or less: For some years I used a 1 pixel high image with a single black pixel tiled vertically to delineate the area where I put Window Maker's* dock. *: Window Maker is a window manager under X11 with a NeXTStep-look-and-feel.
- helmholtz 5y agoI have found my people! The solid black wallpaper reinforces in me the idea that computers and phones are tools, not accessories and it has been revolutionary. I now try to use more and more things in their default state. Vim instead of NeoVim, and an empty vimrc. The shitty fonts that ship with the distros, rather than Source Sans 3. That hopelessly ugly yellow Matlab Current-Section highlight colour. I love them all! It was staggerging to me just how much easier it was to stop, breathe, take a moment to change my mind about the fact that some config needs changing, and instead just say "it's good enough".
