Just imagine a couple of icons and a toolbar and that's my desktop. :)

6. OK, but mine is darker than yours.
Edited on Sun Aug-27-06 09:28 PM by qnr

Edit: Incidently, that is my desktop, I don't put anything on mine, just a pop-up menu when I need one.

9. I like it!
I've never been able to figure out how to get rid of the last few icons on mine. Do you use Windows?

21. To get rid of all icons:
Right-click on your desktop

Highlight "Arrange Icons By"

Uncheck "Show Desktop Icons"

If you put your Task Bar on autohide (right-click task bar, click "Properties", check "Auto-hide the taskbar") you will have a clean, pretty desktop! (the task bar will pop up when you move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen).

26. I like a challenge ...
You have to imagine this at 1600x1200. Didn't want to put it in here full scale and tear up someone's dialup connection.



I also like this one, just for the background.

41. That's obviously a fake photograph. Clearly, Sadalsuud is nowhere near
that close to Gomeisa in real life. And what the heck is that red blob where Kaus Meridianalis is supposed to be???
