Here's mine:

Simple and beautiful (I use quicklaunch, I don't like desktop icons). Reason for MediaPlayer is that I can't stream di.fm over winamp through proxy.

Wallpaper is from skins.be, might be potentially NWS, hence no link. She's Monica Bellucci.

Check out the home of the desktopography packs for two very beautiful and free wallpaper packs. Desktopography Pack #2 is advertised on the frontpage, but I recommend to click the "Download Latest Exhibition" link on the top right to get both packs. The wallpaper of my current desk is included in pack#1. Enjoy!

Properly managed, you can have tons of light tasks running in the taskbar without adversely affecting performance vis a vis memory resources; the same goes for the number of processes in the process list within the Task Manager. :)

Well sure, but look at it!! If only from an aesthetics POV.

From that POV, they lose their effectiveness as a quick way to access a UI for a background process. Imagine having Windows expand the tray, looking for the right icon to click amongst the lot of them, then Windows hiding the tray icons again. Now that would be annoying.

I like the background of that spider, as well.

Maybe I should start making more backgrounds; suprisingly, it is somewhat difficult to find a real good background image on the web unless you spend alot of time looking. :)

*****Expletives removed by Moderator***** turbo audi, that one girl towards the bottom is smashed! And the afri-cant dance label is classic.

ha ha yea, thats Rory's girl, im sure she was quite wasted. (*****Expletives removed by Moderator***** freshmen!)

My clone and the African kid are my housemates, good friends of mine. He did pretty good for not really looking anything like me. I basically wear Adidas pants, my Texas hat and wife beater everyday, so I just lent him those 3 things.

Yep, I'm a Trekkie
The Y'z dock on the left is set to hide after 3 seconds. I hate icons on my desktop.

This is a pic I took with my Olympus C-750 UZ yesterday morning.
Very warm winter here this year.
Feel free to use if you like it.

I love the blue color, is it the one you find when you log on a W2K computer ?

I used to have a blue desktop for a very long time.

Now, I use the black color, and no icon, except the rubbish bin one.

Currently, I use the Lunatic Theme, but without wallpaper :

Hey, you look familiar. Have I seen you somewhere before? :wink:

The wallpaper is by VladStudio, but I modified it with the IBM logo. Here's the original, and here's my version. :D

I don't know if it's the same as the W2K one, but it's XP's default color.
