I want a Stack Overflow wallpaper to be set as my desktop background. Is there a collection of Stack Overflow wallpapers?
It looks like a good way to show the interest to people in answering questions on Stack Overflow.

18The only correct SO wallpaper is an Active Desktop one pointing on the site, and refreshing questions every 15 seconds.– GnoupiFeb 11, 2010 at 10:29

The instant Unicornify can render larger images than 128x128, I'll build beautiful Unicorn wallpapers. stackoverflow.com/users/recent/187606– PekkaFeb 11, 2010 at 16:19

1@Pekka: For the Chief Marketing Officer you have been for the unicorns, I'd even make you a large one :)– balpha StaffModFeb 11, 2010 at 19:53

1@balpha Great! :) For a wallpaper, I'd need a unicorn that is completely in view (no clipping). A clipped rainbow or horizon I can clone. An unclipped view of the topmost one in your twitter background picture a1.twimg.com/profile_background_images/72729688/twitbg.png would be great.– PekkaFeb 11, 2010 at 20:15

Anyone know what caused this question to return a blank page?– William HilsumApr 27, 2010 at 15:28

@Gnoupi: Now that's an awesome idea. With a simple script you could create a static wallpaper which reflects information, like the current reputation...I think I'll try to write such a thing.– Time Traveling BobbySep 17, 2010 at 11:02

@Gnoupi the correct refresh time is 90 seconds - anything less over time will get you in trouble with Jeff and the main page is cached for that long anyway.– Joel CoehoornSep 17, 2010 at 17:03

Awesome; thanks for the 1920x1200s. Any chance of getting some with other unicorns on them? Three monitors with the same unicorn is a bit boring :-P. Apr 27, 2010 at 13:45

2@James I'll ask balpha for some more Unicorns, but it may take a while until I get around to it. I'll post updates here.– PekkaApr 27, 2010 at 14:22

This is a version 4 unicorn anyway (note that the legs are somewhat static); the newer ones look a lot more dynamic. Apr 27, 2010 at 18:15

@balpha great stuff! Can you send me a few specimens when you get around to it? No hurry though.– PekkaApr 27, 2010 at 18:29

@gre you need to use one of the full resolution versions, though, of course.– PekkaApr 27, 2010 at 18:35
Here is one for you:
