Hi Hernan
When you connect your MBP via DVI or DisplayPort and mirroring is turned off, it will show your extended desktop wallpaper on the other monitor/projector. This can be different from your 'regular' wallpaper. You can choose a different picture as your background in the usual place in System Preferences, as long as you have another output connected.
Hope that helps.
