How WILD Are Your Windows Colors?
Are you 'into' the Three-D Crayola-look of WindowsXP? Have you 'skinned' your interface so that your Windows world looks Gothic or Ultra-Neon or Futurama-Chrome?

I guess any kind of change is difficult for me. Simplicity rules.

My Windows XP desktop color scheme looks a lot like out-of-the-box color scheme for Windows 95.

I know... "Booor-ing".

3. I Like That! --- Stylish... and easy on the eyes... and
it looks like it's easy to figure out too.

I've seen some garish creations that were too hard to even GLANCE at, much less to even USE for any length of time. Yours looks very nice.

2. Linux desktops put Windblows to shame
I don't even use Windows anymore.

Here's what a REAL desktop can look like. This is mine from last year.

8. Linux screengrabs are hilarious!
They ALWAYS have a combination of pretty but useless apps running together, but you're missing the alpha-fade look on Konsole.

5. Mine are about as wild as a bowl of oatmeal.
It's the standard format. Grey. Dull, dull, dull.
