Here's my desktop in Ubuntu Linux.

I'm quite pleased with all the tweaking I did.

That's the great thing about Linux, being able to make it look like anything you want. And the Compiz cube too...:)

looks good. a bit on the dark side, and too busy for my tastes, but each to their own.

heres my dual monitor setup, i really like it... its got a good message too

An Fear Aniar

Nice. You go for the sparse look. I get that.

Have you played Rainslick Precipice?

It's very amusing.

I'm at work at the moment, so it's just a boring blue Lufthansa one with lots of folders. I shall post my own one later on.

Can I ask what that one is that you have solar? pretty handy having all those meters on the desktop like that

SolarNexus

I tried the penny arcade demo on xbox live once, really wasnt my thing tbh.

Sparse... hehe yeah. I really like a clean desktop, makes for a change from my actual one thats covered in screwdrivers, loose change and computer parts :P

the meters n' such are widgets running on the Yahoo widget engine. Theres alot of cool stuff on there... far better than either of mac osx or windows vistas "gadgets".

How can you use your toolbar on the right hand side, it feels un-natural if its not on the left screen

You'd think that until you realise Oh Hey I'm Right-handed.

All I have on my desktop is the Recycling bin, the picture of the week and the moo0 System Monitor. Taskbar on the right.

I used to put stuff on the desktop until I realised it was bad for my productivity - I'd always be looking for something to do.
