Desktop wallpaper originated way back in the 1980's when wallpaper was dos green tiles that populated a computer screen after entering hibernation mode. Since that time, wallpaper has grown to be one of the most popular items online. A browser search of desktop wallpapers will provide results of over 60 million sites offering some type of wallpaper.
So what is desktop wallpaper and why is it so popular? The answer is in the wallpaper itself and in the variety of available backgrounds for your computer. Let's face it, today people crave individuality in the clothes they wear from the people they pal around with. The computer wallpaper they have revolving on the desktop on a daily basis is no different. People put their own touch on nearly everything they own, and the personal computer is no different.
There are different wallpapers for nearly every mood, season, holiday, animal, and art. Computer wallpapers can be customized to become more personalized to the individual by incorporating their name, a funny phrase, or advertising a business. Certain programs allow the user to upload a photo and the program manipulates it, twisting and turning the photo into different shapes and sizes. Many new computer wallpaper programs have incorporated animations into their wallpaper turning their screensavers into fish bowls, flying eagles, dinosaur battles, or a tranquil autumn scene. There's virtually nothing you can't do with wallpaper today, and that includes using it on cell phones and smart phones.
Personalizing your cell phone with the latest backgrounds and screen savers has become a popular trend. Several Internet sites have begun to classify their wallpaper as cell-phone-safe wallpaper, or have clearly marked the size of the wallpaper making it easy for the consumer to pick out the best fitting for their screen. Many of the cell phone manufacturer's have taken notice and started supplying better graphics on the wallpaper included on the phone, but they still fall short of the professional wallpaper sites online.
Locating a desktop wallpaper and screensaver website doesn't have to be difficult, but you do need to pay close attention to the site you choose. Some websites just want your personal information to spam your inbox with meaningless offers. For example, if the site forces you to fill in your name, address, and email before allowing you to download one free sample, it's best to stay clear. Focus on the sites that are professionally built, easy to navigate, and focused solely on providing their customers with the highest standard wallpaper and enjoyable experience.
