Your favorite wallpaper/desktop/skin site?

Continuing my poll question style messages:

What's your favorite wallpaper / desktop / skin / mod / etc. site?

Personally, I'm thinking more along the lines of www.deviantart.com, rather than all the crappy "wallpaper top-site pop-up hell" sites that have really low-quality and badly designed wallpapers of various models, actresses, etc. Those sites simply exist for advertising. (Don't get me wrong, I like well-done "personality" wallpapers fine, good ones are just not the norm.)

Which reminds me, I never understand why people would want to advertise, say, Windows XP to themselves, via their own desktop wallpaper. (Or Calvin peeing on the logo.

Anyway, your favorite sites?

Windows defaults are my fav.

Sad, but true.

As for backgrounds/wallpaper, I just make my own if I want a different one.

default with transtext so background text color is transparent... i only make my own wallpapers.. deviantart is probably the best though

I put my latest "artwork" I did on my desktop.

Huh? What does that mean?

So it just has text not the solid color around the text. So if you had a white text, and black picture and have the background color purple, there would be some purple around the white text. But if you had transparency it would just show white text. Mmmmmkay?

devart is by far the best place for wallpapers and skins. There are thousands and thousands of wallpapers on that site...would probably take you a year to get through. I myself have around 9 wallpapers on that site

Yeah i pretty much do the same thing... sometimes i get wallpapers and skins from www.endeffect.com, www.deviantart.com, or www.deskmod.com, but most of the time i must make my own...

Actually, I have been through the entire list of wallpapers on devart. It's a great accomplishment. It's like finishing the internet. You would be surprised to see some of the stuff at the end...*shudders*

The thing I don't like about deviantART is they apparently had some sort of server crash and LOST most of the more "popular" wallpapers. (Can anyone add any more info on this?)

This wouldn't be a problem, except they don't remove the thumbnail/listings of the MIAs, so you only find out a file is gone by trudging through and clicking the listing. This isn't very good as that site pushes a lot of bandwidth on each page, so it can be very slow going. It seems they haven't found a good way to manage the size/speed of their database.
