Post Your Desktop "Background screenshot"

Ha, I really can't stand icons. People that have unorganized desktops drives me nuts. When I'm fixing a pc, I really can't help but clean up the desktop lol.

I'm exactly the same way. I usually can't stand to have icons, though in my last screen I had one obnoxiously large icon. I've seem to have grown a fetish for large icons...

Actually, pretty much everything about my computer has to be perfectly labeled and organized. It drives me off the wall when I see a imperfection.

Gotta love simplicity!

So an editor for my school's newspaper is writing an article about Linux on the home desktop(specifically Ubuntu). He asked me to grab some screenies for him displaying "the simplicity and beauty" of a nice desktop. He also wants to see some effects, like the cube, expo, focus and dimming... you get the point.

I'm getting some screens from my desktop, but if any of you guys want to throw in some screens of your beautiful Linux desktops please do! Don't be afraid to show off.

And of course if you do want to contribute you'll be cited and listed in the "thank yous", if you want.

Hence my intricately-laid out partitioning. Windows HDD contains: XP OS, XP Software, and my Personal partition. Linux Drive contains: Ubuntu Root, Ubuntu Home, Kubuntu Root, Kubuntu Home, a copy of my personal partition, and Swap. I'm one of those people that will uninstall a program, just to reinstall it to a different folder :P

Regarding Ubuntu screenshots, I'll post up a few in a bit.

I have no choice, but to agree to all of that (besides the large icon fetish). You should see my external HDD. Everything is organized.

20thCenturyBoy,

Here are some Ubuntu 7.10 (newest version) pics (all courtesy of Compiz Fusion).

Ring Task Switcher:

Water Ripple Effect:

Cube Effect:

Wobbly Window Effect:

Closing Program Fading Effect;

Fire Effect (I had a lot going on in the background, and only a moderate GPU, so there's a bit of distortion):

100% free of charge and the earliest rendition of all of these effects were in place with OSS years before Vista grabbed hold of them. This is a small sample of still images of what can be done with Fusion. IMHO, Vista's eye-candy doesn't even come close to what Fusion can do.
 
INTELCRAZY, is that really vista, or did you get some snazzy-looking vista icons with an attractive theme?

if its a theme, could you hit me up with a link to the icons?
it would be very much appreciated not having to go through many-a spyware infected sites :) .
 
My latest :)

couldnt find a 1440 x 900 so ijust had to use this one and centre it :o

i like it though:)
