A The Poopsmith desktop by "Robotsuperstar" was made available to download (1024×768,1600×1200) on the Main Pages on January 28, 2008. The same image was featured in Weekly Fanstuff for January 24, 2008.
A Trogdor desktop by Rob Schrab was made available to download (1024×768,1600×1200) on the Main Pages on January 14, 2008.
A "Support the Municipality" desktop from disconnected was available to download (1024×768, 1600×1200) through the Main Pages on March 16, 2006.
The Macintosh wallpapers from big white face are available to download (800×600, 1024×768) in an Easter egg at the end of the email.

The Homestarmy poster was originally put up with the letter "m" removed, making it say "Homestary." Only a few hours after being up, the wall paper was changed to include the "m."

In the "Everybody, Everybody" wallpaper, The Poopsmith's lower arms are orange, while his upper arms are stained.
Viewing the Flash file of the wallpaper pop-up (http://www.homestarrunner.com/hsicons/wallpaper.swf) instead of going through the Downloads page causes the links to not work. They come up as http://www.homestarrunner.com/hsicons/wallpapers/armywallpaper2.jpg instead of http://www.homestarrunner.com/wallpapers/armywallpaper2.jpg (for example).

Strong Bad's message "Every time that I look at myself, I can't believe how awesome I am!!!" is a quote from Strong Bad Sings.

The Homestarmy poster is an obvious play on the poster featuring Uncle Sam with the words "I want you for U.S. Army".
- The Homestarmy poster and those flanking it are all based on war propaganda posters disseminated by the U.S. government during World War II.
The Municipality poster is a throw-back to George Orwell's classic dystopia novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.
