Show us your wallpaper!

I have two displays. Windows doesn't make it easy to have a different wallpaper on each one, so I stitched two images together and had them span the two displays as one. And yes, I'm a Portal fan.

Check out a program called Display Fusion. It allows you to put different wallpapers on each monitor. Pretty cheap IIRC.

Eh... It's about $25. Rather a lot, considering how infrequently I change my desktop images. Thanks though.

Wow that much? It came free with a video card I got about a year ago. Yeah I'd pass too.

Not sure what OS you are on, but if Windows, they should have this built in. But don't. Someone hacked his way to get it to work, but it shouldn't be that difficult.

I'm a portal fan too.

Would you believe that the Windows 7 installed on netbooks is so limited, that it prohibits you from changing the default wallpaper? Really. I had to download a hack to bypass this limitation, though you have to restart your Win7 session to enact the change.

Wow, I had no idea. That feature dates back to like Win3.1.

Geez, that's cheap. Its kind of an odd limitation to place on an OS.

That kind of makes my eyes hurt for some reason.
