Desktop Background and Screensavers

I was just curious as to what everyone has for their desktop backgrounds and/or screensavers. I started thinking about this because DBF borrowed my laptop for a meeting today, and the first thing he will see when he starts it up is my Stitch Lost Ducklings background! For my screensaver I'm currently just using one of the boring Windows Vista ones. I tried to set it up to have my photos cycle through, but for some reason it wasn't working correctly. I'll maybe have to try it again.

At work, I have a picture of Ellott Sadler as my background and the boring windows screensaver.
At work, I have a photo of our WDW trip (I think right now it's a photo from AK - the Welcome to Harambe sign or something) and my photos as the screensaver.

My wallpaper is one I downloaded from Disney yesterday!

My screensaver is way - it's a freeware program and you customize it, it's almost like making a scrapbook page. You can use your own photos/images or get some from the internet. And best of all, add countdown tickers! I got it from Free Download - Places I'd Rather Be Travel Screensaver (in case anybody else wants to play and make one). They claim to be spyware and adware free, but since I got it from the internet and screensavers are notorious for having bugs hidden in them, I scanned it with Norton and Adaware anyway, and I didn't find any troublemakers hiding in it.

My current one is of Spaceship Earth at night. I often check out a Disney photography website/board. When I find one that 'moves' me, I right click on it and save it as my wallpaper.

My screen saver is one that I bought years ago and have updated several times. I think cost was $5. It has over 100 pictures from around Disney World. Love to just let it run and watch it. Here is the link to Copernicus Software Scenic Desktop Images, Award winning software brings you high resolution desktop and screen saver images in areas such as America's National Parks and deep space photography, in all over 40 different image sets., Download, Wallpap

I've even gone so far as to change my email notification sound. Currently it's Mickey saying "Oh Yeah!" Previously, I had "Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor.......". It scared me to death. I'd jump out of my seat when I heard it. Now, that's the sound when I log off my computer.

I know. I know. I'm way too obsessed.

My screensaver is a 30 second Minnie drawing from start to colored in. It's pretty neat to watch!

My desktop wallpaper is currently a scene from the cartoon Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends . . . DH still has his set as the picture from the cover of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch from the day after they won the World Series last season (we have our desktop partitioned so I can have my own pics and stuff )

Our screen saver is currently the Year of a Million Dreams one from Disney.com. We're using the WDW and DL pics that are the default for it, but I am working on uploading some of our personal WDW and DL pics to replace them.

I have a spring picture for the desktop and all my photos randomly come on for the screensaver. I like to lay on the couch and watch the pictures- several years of great memories!
