Desktop Wallpaper: What it means to me in Misc JoeUser Forums

There has been much discussion on many sites about wallpaper: such as moderating , the do's and don'ts of creating , ratings , is it art or not and download count, just to name a few. But has anyone asked, What does wallpaper mean to you? How often is wallpaper displayed on your desktop or do you collect wallpaper as someone would collect Beanie Babies, keepin

Weaksid, that is an excellent link, definitely in my favorites! As for windows allowing png use for wallpapers, I don't really know. I have my wallpaper folder which is huge, in my cdrive and I just browse insead of the regular way to retrieve the wallpaper I want,and there are some in png format.

Does it make any difference which way to go, zipped bitmap or jpeg for downloading ? If it doesn't make a difference, then I
