Not much going on my desktop, recently cleaned most of my files… (Just moved to the old folder :D)

Currently I only have only one other laptop in use and thats still on the default wallpaper because I am lazy… Rest of the machines are Linux servers without desktop.

This thread makes me feel dirty. Digital exhibitionism!

Here’s mine, Luke-
http://i.imgur.com/hiQhR.jpg
I have 3 monitors in the following config:
1280×1024, 1680×1050, 1280×1024
…courtesy of my Asus EAH 6850 Radeon card with eyefinity.
Its lovely for games like Battlefield 3 and the like.
I use a tool called DisplayFusion to set the screens and rotate them every half hour or so. I have it pointed at a folder with 30-40 space themed pics I ripped off deviantart and wallbase.

@ Christopher Wellons:
You might be interested to know that you can use xscreensaver screensavers as wallpapers by running them in the root window. You just run the individual executables with the “-root” command like so:

/usr/lib/xscreensaver/xmatrix -root

@ astine:

Ah, that terminal transparency makes xmonad look a little more interesting.

@ STop:

I’ll check it out, thanks.

Hi Luke,
These ducks didn’t freeze. I don’t really know how they do, but I suspect that’s because most palmipedes have very few blood veins in their feet. I liked that each of them is in a couple, but one couple is kind of estranged from each other and the distance is bigger.

So I come to the party late, but here’s my primary desktop:

xmonad without a lot of nicities.

My other machines are a vanilla Ubuntu, vanilla Windows 7, vanilla, Android phone, and some work machines. I missed the switchover from Gnome to Unity in Ubuntu, but I’ve recently installed it again and I find I like Unity. I type name of program I want and press . Everythings so simple. I could care less if my launcher is on the bottom or the side and I rarely use the mouse anyway. Haven’t tried Gnome 3.
