Holy icons batman!  Really!  That's nuts!

I have to admit my desktop isn't much to look at.  I never did see much of a point to having a bunch of gadgets, icons, pictures, etc laying around and using resources when I have my browser or my game up 99.9% of the time anyway!  When I'm not on my computer I shut it down.  I don't see much point to leaving it running and I don't consider having to press the power button and wait 45 seconds to be a hindrance.  I just have a dark gray background and a handful of shortcuts on my desktop and that's it.

I guess that's why I'm not impressed with any of the WIN8 previews I'm seeing either. <shrug>

I've never seen a point to the gadgets either, however the icons are there to get to things faster, since the Start Menu these days is nearly worthless with all the crap that gets thrown in it. I tend to turn my laptop off only because I usually end up sleeping near it, but otherwise I leave my computers on to reduce wear on the hard drive spindle and power supply. That, and my computers run health and science researching tasks while idle.

Mine.



Games to the right, daily programs to the left.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

same, I use mid grey (old habit from DTP work) and as little clutter as possible - its less stress on the eye/brain. sometimes a small pic in the middle so its covered by windows when I'm working, currently:

Kratos and Sub-Zero. Had this background when i got the New Mortal Kombat game. was a deadly team. The God of War and a Cyromancer  :t
Ive since replaced Sub Zero with Freddy Krueger tho. its insanely cool, having a game where the biggest B.A in gaming history, can fight with (or against) one of the most iconic 80's horror villains.

This is mine.  Wife snapped it a few days ago as I called her (the bird) to the lure.
