Two questions about wallpaper...

[Khaydarin]

1) Will a background with a lot of white, light gray, or otherwise bright colors wear out the life of an LCD screen faster?

2) Is there a program compatible with Vista that will randomly changed the desktop wallpaper every X time interval?

1) No, your LCD doesn't rely on a phosphorous coating to make the image, so no, it won't

2. Yes, however, the ones I've found don't work (at least well) on my 64x copy.

....ok. So this means that it won't wear out the life of the backlight faster? I'm sure you JUST answered this already, but I need some more explaining.

Ah ok! Thanks.

On the second topic from my OP: I'm using Vista 64, so does that mean there is no reliable wallpaper switching program?

Since you are using vista, I recommend this http://www.softpedia.com/get/Windows-Widgets/Widget-Miscellaneous/Desktop-Wallpaper-Gadget.shtml Desktop wallpaper Gadget 1.3.3.0 Works just fine on my x64 vista install. D.
