Character selection screen
From Guild Wars Wiki
The Character selection screen is the screen you are presented with after you log in from the Login screen. It is from here that you log onto a character, access the online store, manage account keys, sort the order in which your character's portraits are arranged, and other things.
You can disable the user interface to take screenshots or to use the screen as a sort of screensaver. Check the box and a 10 seconds counter will start. At the end of the countdown the interface will disappear. Moving your mouse or pressing a key will make it reappear. Then the counter will restart and so on until you uncheck the option.

[edit] History
The background of the screen changes according to the most recent campaign release. It is not possible to revert back to any of these screens, they are just shown here for reference.
[edit] Prophecies CSS
The Prophecies CSS did not allow for camera movement, and all characters you had were shown at once. There was no online store at this time.
[edit] Factions CSS
The Factions CSS added camera movement, and a new layout for characters. Characters would be clicked on by their thumbnails, and the selected character would appear in the center of the screen. Many things, such as account keys management, were changed to appear on a window instead of full screen. About halfway through its existence, the online store was added as a link in the top right.
[edit] Nightfall CSS
The Nightfall CSS was essentially the same as its predecessor, but with new borders, UI, background, and music to fit the Nightfall theme. On July 17th of 2007, the sky used on this CSS was modified slightly. The left side of the sky was a bit darker. There were some people saying there was a new gust of wind and the sound of wolves in the background.
[edit] Eye of the North CSS
On July 20th of 2007, the new character screen was introduced which features a view of the Far Shiverpeaks. It also features a new introduction song.
