I really like this alien image

Can you please share it and may I have permission to use it?
Cheers Joe.
Sorry, but the avatar cannot be used by anyone else here to avoid confusion of them mistaken another member as me, so I don't give that one out because of this.
Is it just me or is the Windows 7 Logon Background Changer program really resource intensive? Upon start up it rapidly used up to 1.3 GB of RAM. And if I leave it alone for a few minutes, it actually creeps up to 6.5 GB of RAM (out of 8 GB). Pretty much eats up all RAM available (RAM usage was up to 95%). Not to mention it used 25-30% of CPU (that's at least one whole core) constantly.
And the first time I changed the background with this program, I logged out and logged back in but all I got was a complete black screen with a mouse. I had to restart it.
I mean I'm not going to be running this program all the time or for long periods of time but I hope this program was just poorly optimized and didn't do something to my system.
Hello Cyborg,
No it shouldn't be using that much RAM unless there may be some sort of issue.

I just ran the standalone program.
I'm guessing the program just loads every single image in the folder and every sub-folder into memory. It actually hangs for a while when browsing to a folder with lots of images which is when the memory and CPU starts ramping up. Not really a big deal for a program that's sparsely used to change images I guess.
That's most likely the reason then if it's loading all of the images into the viewing area at the top of the program.

Thanks for this Brink, at first it didn't work because I didn't make the Backgrounddefault.jpg.
