I have been struggling to decide on a background for my master computer, which is very difficult to match with a good LBT background.  I included a picture of the computer because I'm trying to match the background and the computer together.  I've found two really good backgrounds in the newest LBT sequel (LBT 13) that fit very well, but I can't really decide on them because I like both equally.  Well, they're not really original images.  I *cough*modified*cough* them so the yellow bellies were out of the picture and so were the annoying unattractive flying things.  So anyways, which one do you like best?

Background A:

Background B:

Oh, and sorry for the lesser-than-normal image quality.  I can't find my good camera's charger and I'm stuck using my crummy spare 5mp one without adaptive lighting. <_<

While we can't decide the image for you, I would prefer the second one. It's a good close-up of Littlefoot, and the text "Change" is notably placed next to Littlefoot. The first one has too far of a distance between Littlefoot and the "camera" for my liking, so I would prefer the second one in that respect.

Of course, more green and less character allows you to put more icons onto the desktop before it starts to look bad. :)

I just cleaned my desktop and I can assure you that it will NOT be that clean in a day or two. :lol

I don't like lots of icons on my desktop. :p I like to keep my Desktop neat and tidy. If you have lots of icons, then go with the first one. Ignore the poll and do what's best for you and your computer.

I'm just pointing out the positives and negatives of each one.  I have no real opinion yet.

I looked at the second image again, and it still looks like you have over half of the desktop before icons begin to consume Littlefoot.

I like the second one since littlefoot is larger and there is less text on the screen.  Though you should pick which you like best.

I got a better idea for situations like this: Use them both. How often do you switch backgrounds? You could use the first one for however long you usually keep backgrounds up, and then, you could use the second one. Of course, this might be difficult if you don't switch backgrounds on your master computer hardly at all....

I guess it's so hard to choose cuz my master computer is the only one with a "Wide Screen" monitor.  If you don't pick the background right, it looks funny.  In the first one, there is less stretching of the character.  I can't see it from those pic's I took, but the second one looks sorta strange.  Perhaps if I add more to the environment.....

You won't really have to choose if you use them both. :rolleyes: The only choosing will be what background you want to use first, and in such an event, you can just use the first one first, and the second one second. You might discover that you dislike one of the backgrounds for one reason or another when you use for awhile.

That is a good idea, use each for a few days and then you can see which you may like better.

Okay, I got it.  I'll just use the one with the smaller Littlefoot on my master computer since it has a larger screen and it looks better (and he doesn't look so small on such a large monitor).  I'll use the other one for my secondary computer. B)
