Everyday to a month between desktops. Mostly when I change themes, or find cool new desktops.

change 'em whenever i feel like it. don't base it on day or because i feel i "need" to change. Siro is getting its money's worth right now. So is WOA 2 or whatever the new set from Dave was called. some Dave Lanham DPs are getting their money's worth right now.

I'll change the desktop at least once per day. I'll change my theme once per week, sometimes less depending on how well I like the theme. And I haven't changed my icons since the original World of Aqua set came out, quite a while.

Probably every month or so, but really like my DP at the moment, so won't be changing it for a while.

Probably change my icons and theme more than my desktop.

Change it every two to three days.

Currently I am using a mod of 'FR4NK's'
Wave011 desktop pic from interfacelift.com.

I throw together a few desktops myself and then
get bored with 'em and try someone else's for a while
and then repeat the process all over again -

I work in an area full of 'creatives' who mostly have far
too much time on their hands for making pretty pictures only
to be hidden by Adobe app windows for most of the day.

I have about 6 or 7 good desktops I always return to. I might download new ones from PixelGirl but I always return to my faves. My desktop right now is the original Panther one (Makes my OS feel brand new again)

I'll usually change my desktop to match my theme. If I don't switch themes, I probably wont switch desktops.

I used to have favourite desktops, that stayed on screen for months...
however, these days I let them continually change... (every minute), using the built in desktop preferences. (down bottom left, click checkbox 'change picture: every minute')

I guess this part of the forum is over represented by you traders. I kept my wallpaper the same for about 5-6 years on my pc, but switched when I moved to mac. Because of the look and feel of this OS I change a bit more frequently, but only about 1 every 3 months.

I like my mac desktop to be recognisable. I guess I'm quite boring, but i also aim to keep my dock the same and the icons the same (changed most from scratch, kept ever since).

I'm living a rather hectic life, so I like my desktop to be like home (Nerd alert!) You don't see me redoing my livingroom every week...
