Isn\'t it awesome though? :P I haven\'t been able to find any other Luis Royo wallpapers of such quality.

Neither, it actually works, and you can move around in it. :)
The images can be selected by you, just like the standard destop wallpapers.
The only backdraws of it are that it only runs on windows and that it\'s not Free Software. :(

However, we might be able to create something similar using CEL and CS, that\'ll then run on Linux...

Edit: After all, we could use MB for this! Just make the server run locally all the time, have it automatically connect to it, and the only things required too add are the launchers and image displays, teleport points, and browser viewers. That\'d not even be too much work (well, OK, a couple of weeks at least, but it\'s not nearly as much as creating it from scratch :D )... It actually is tempting... OK, we\'d need to use different models and maps, but otherwise...

I decided to put up an updated version of my desktop.  I manually added the RED TIPS so you guys would know how to make your desktop better and so my eyes wouldn\'t bleed every time i saw one of these.
One tip I didnt have space to write was \"dont have so many programs running in the background (bottem right things)!!!\"

Here\'s my contribution to this wonderful nonsense ;) There\'s lots more piccies at the following URL (please go easy on it, it\'s my home machine ;) ), but this is the most recent screenshot of my desktop :) http://leinir.homeip.net/~leinir/gallery/

A few points:
* The funky music player is called amaroK and is normally hiding behind its tray icon :)
* Yes, there is no task bar, there is a window list (which I should add is not optimal, you cannot use the scrollwheel on your mouse to switch between windows), which is the button in the top right corner of the screen (smack mouse, cursor in top right corner, click, easy ;) )
* It is KDE, running with the Reinhardt icon set and widget style by yours truly
* There are no more icons on the desktop but the three you see there

EDIT: Yes, PNG /is/ a real image file format (the img tag bellow didn\'t work, the space was added later). Come on, what\'s going on here? Use this link to see the picture in stead :P http://leinir.homeip.net/~leinir/gallery/index.php?gallery=pictures&image=pictures/reinhardt-amarok.png
