I'm looking at the pictures on my computer background... It's this... A pretty sun covered field. It changes every 10 minutes and this happens to be what it is now.

What is yours? If not a computer, on your laptop, phone or electronic device.

What do you like to see on your BG? A coworker just has a black screen.

I need some color and fun! I usually change it out per season, but now I have a new computer at work, so I don't know how to personalize to my own photo choices yet. It was in Spring when the new computer came, and that's still loaded, but I don't see how I can change it up to summer.
 
I like variety. I have a theme pack with changing images every 30 mins or so. I change the theme pack once I start to need something different. I normally chose the nature themes, I actually changed mine today. I now have a Through the Trees theme installed. Here's my current view.

My laptop background is a default countryside photo.

My phone background is the weather so I'm not caught off guard when I walk outside and it's snowing.

I set my desktop background to my 2024 scrapbook cover page. It's my favorite background!

Now I want to figure out how to change my laptop background...even though my desktop is covered with a thousand icons lol
 
I have copied the flat jpgs of all my digital layouts into a file on my computer, and has set the background to show them. At random it changes to a new one, I think every other minute.
 
I don't have too many icons... here at work or my laptop at home.
Here's my screen now, lol!

My phone is funny though... I have one page. There aren't multiple screens for It has a bunch of highly used apps... then there are 5 folders... A-F, G-L, M-R, and S-Z.. and Games (ones I use more often).
 
I have one of my favorite photos of Pepper and Paige as my desktop background. This is the 3rd or 4th computer that I have used it on!

My laptop has a photo of the moon behind some clouds with a tree in the foreground that I took back in November 2009. I had just come out of a camera club meeting at my church and it was so beautiful. I put my camera on the roof of my vehicle and snapped a few pics. One ended up being stunning. I also had an enlargement made and it is hanging in my living room.

The lock photo on my phone is a view of earth taken from the moon, probably a stock photo. And, the photo when I swipe to open is a different photo this one of the moon with moonlight shining on a lake, again probably a stock photo. I've used these on multiple phones as well.

Are you seeing a theme with my backgrounds? LOL Also, when I find a background I like I stick with it!
 
I just changed my Mac wallpaper about 2 weeks ago. For the last few years it was this dynamic image of Big Sur. It would change as the day wore on.

Now I'm using this view of California. It's as if you're hovering above the north Pacific and looking south. You can see San Francisco Bay.

My laptop has the blue screen and my cell phone has the same photo since I first got the iPhone way back when... a photo of my hubby taken at the iPhone store. Anytime I change phones I keep it the same. :)
 
My work computer has a plain blue screen because I keep a lot of shortcuts and files on my desktop and they are easier to find with a plain screen. :giggle At home I have whatever pretty pictures came with Windows and they rotate every 30 minutes. On my phone, I have a cute picture of my two boys when we went on spring break in about 2014. I love the pictures, so I keep adding it when I get a new phone.
 
Had to close my work programs and see what my background is ... black.

My phone's lock screen is a Mickey Mouse wallpaper that I downloaded 5+ years ago. The "swipe" screens have an ocean wave background.

I think my home desktop has a blue Dell background. I rarely pay any attention to my backgrounds.
 
Right now it is whatever photo Microsoft has in rotation. I used to have it set to Unsplash, which I really liked, but I can't remember how I did it. :giggle
 
This is the one on my computer

I used to change it out pretty often, but I don't pay much attention to it anymore lol
I just recently got a new computer at work, so I haven't fooled with it. Different scenes pop up all day.
The only thing I'm really particular about is how many icons I have. I hate a desktop full of icons. I do tend to put things there temporarily, but pretty regularly clean it off so I only have a couple.
My phone background is my two youngest granddaughters on the lock screen and just a solid sage green on the main screen. I keep my the apps I use most often on the main screen and then I use the library for everything else.
 
I use Microsoft Themes for my backgrounds. I did have it set on Bountiful Cottage Gardens, but decided to change the theme because of this thread. So now I'm looking a scenes of US National Parks.
 
My computer background is always a photo I've taken. Sometimes from a trip I'm scrapping or want to scrap. Sometimes from life. Right now it's my silly cat in the open window smelling the spring air, from last week.

My phone I use 2 screens one with icons and folders, one with just the time and weather. My phone background is the silly cat too. This time stuck in a box. My lock screen is my kid playing piano.
 
I used to update mine every month, NBK Designs used to have a freebie.
 
The background on my personal laptop is a photo of the dogs & kids.

The backgrounds on my work laptop & second screen are a photo of my kids playing in the leaves + a wedding photo of my husband and me.
