Here's mine. I change the BG whenever I take a good picture or according to the seasons.

Also I have a dual monitor setup set at 1920x1200 (yikes!) and 1200x1600. Does anybody no how to get different bg photos for each monitor on a Windoze system? Currently it has the same BG for each monitor. I've yet to find the option to change this.
Hey, there's my post! When I get a desktop, i'd like to do dual monitor setup. I think you can change it under settings, in desktop properties.

That isn't a windows option. ATI video cards add this option that I know of (possibly nvidia too), otherwise you will need a 3rd party utility.

My dual setup is nice. I have one turned vertically. It makes it really nice for reading papers / reports / etc. You can see a whole page at once at pletty close to standard paper size. It's really nice for reading scientific journals which are usually in 2 column format. No scrolling or losing your place. :banana:

Dock = Cleardock [app] w/ custom icons from a set on Deviantart called "Reflections" made usable by Pic2Icon [app]

Data on desktop = GeekTool [app] with some slick Unix script going on to automatically update my to_do.txt and place the contents onto the desktop with an uptime script as well. ;)

Dayum, have enough icons in your dock? I must say, I'm pretty impressed :D



Pretty simple and minimalistic but very functional. I'm running Quicksilver to access my programs and have the Cube of Doom (each side is a fresh desktop) to keep things clear.
