It's almost June, folks. So show us what cool desktops you've got to counteract the coming heat!

I'll start with my Linux distro of choice, Crunchbang. Ninja!

Mine is a WIP screenshot of AGox-fal tse'erm, level 18 of my D2X-XL mission.  The name of the level actually does mean something (it's an anagram).

If anyone figures it out, I will be highly impressed.

No, we're going to have to ban you now, Shroudeye.  :P
/me is using sarcasm.

A POTD for a background? More power to you!  ;)

I've done that before.

Well, technically, I used said pic as a desktop first, and THEN sent it in as a POTD. :P

I haven't changed my desktop pic recently either, guess I should look into it, then. :)

It happens that I changed my Win7 desktop background at work just this morning ...

EDIT:  I decided to include a snapshot of one of the systems on my laptop... (for those that care, it's the non-Windows OS I've been happiest with the most (thus far) on that system.  This last week at work I've played around with Mandriva (Gnome, KDE), OpenSUSE (KDE, Gnome), Fedora (Gnome, KDE), Mint 8 and 9, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu .... Been interesting comparing them side-by-side.

Okay, changed my desktop pic. Had several piled up that I've been wanting to use, but I was happiest with this one. :)

Given the direction of sun you can see from how the small planet/moon is lit, the comet trails point to the wrong direction (they should point away from the sun as they are caused by sun wind).

And how do you know that they are comets?
Maybe they are alien ships that passes from afar?  ;)

There's actually a whole mess of scientific inaccuracies in that pic, but I could care less, just so long as it looked cool. :)

Coolness counts in pictures. Science does not.

I always use default desktops. I guess I am just that boring  ;D

Indeed.

And hey! Look who finally posted his 4th post after being AWOL for 100000 years! How's your Singleplayer Hyperspace Wars project going? Wouldn't blame you if you gave it up. It sounded like a lot of work.

That's very true - I mean, whoever saw a giant, blue, glowing clock in space?

I didn't give it up, I just stopped working on it about 5 months ago. It's on 'perma-freeze' for the time being. Stay tuned though... :)

Oh well, the Widget clock would've been there regardless of the desktop background, so it's always going to have that inaccuracy. :P
