Very nice Jer. The red 3d background image you are using is killer! Where did you get that? Reminds me of Adni18's work.

For my desktop I'm using the bblean shell for windows:

http://bb4win.sourceforge.net/bblean/

And the docks at bottom and left are by Rocket dock and yzdock respectively.

Rox is using Rocketdock straight up in XP. She hides her desktop icons.

P.S. Oh and I forgot to mention that the system monitors/weather etc on the right hand side is by Samurize:

Gorgeous flowers. And I like how you've made the border and arranged your icons in your border. Most folks have a bad habit of having their icons plastered all over their screen.

Beautiful, flowers! I have some flowers that come up each year ( don't know what they are) they are bright red, with a round brown center. I'm thinking some sort of "Brown Eyed Susan" but these are red, instead of yellow.

Again beautiful!  banana

Nice flower justdhf... I'd guess it's in the orchid family...
here's a Utube shot of one blooming... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI71C08VUc0

Here's my current DeskTop (DT)... (a thumnail of
http://bugland.us/im/screenshots/art2.jpg )


(Photo Courtesy of ESA - NASA) http://www.spacetelescope.org/

I like change my DT and main screensaver once a month or so...

I prefer a minimalist look most of the time and the only icons i have showing are what I
am currently working with.

I aint sure most folks know about the windows OS side, top and bottom toolbars so i'll
explain briefly as i can rolleyes

I keep them on autohide but you can leave them open also.

most people don't like the 'autohide mode' because they can be annoying and will pop
open when you get your mouse too close to the screen borders

the advantage of these toolbars, for me, is that I have nearly 100 shortcuts to
programs or links,. available at the swing of my mouse.

so anyway to create them
left click a folder (hold the left clicker and drag and drop it to the left side or top and
release the left click as you move your arrow beyond the side or top.

To make it autohide, to "Close the Toolbar" (and to see other options), right click the
toolbar in a blank spot and click on "Autohide"


I doubt you want to see all my icons but here they are anyway.
(some icons I made or edited with Microangelo.. others I shamelessly stole from
wherever I could :)

All these are on autohide.
Top bar
http://bugland.us/im/screenshots/topbar.jpg
Left sidebar
http://bugland.us/im/screenshots/sidebar.jpg
and the bottom toolbar
http://bugland.us/im/screenshots/bottombar.jpg

I'll add some more of my screenshots here at high quality for resizing to different
resolutions.

http://bugland.us/im/screenshots/

Have a good bug day!

Gee tanks Rox... re: my taste when thieving... I just wish it translated over when I try designing stuff :)

I have some more I'll add there later.

(MODIFIED)
I mispoke myself in the post above/// a common error for ex- mimes i guess :)

The 'illustrations' are mostly not credited but some are.

They request a credit to ESA/NASA as per their page at
 http://www.spacetelescope.org/copyright.html where they also ask you to send them derivative work.

I wonder if you make something really nice would they publish it on their pages?

Image addys are:

http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/archive/topic/illustration//

http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/archive/wallpaper/

some very nice ones there to choose from in different sizes and also videos done by graphic artists.
