If i wanted something pneumatic on my desktop I could probably do better with a picture of a tyre :D

So you mean Rivet City, Chewie?
This picture (http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap070508.html) is my desktop background.
Explanation: This eerie glow over Death Valley is in danger. Scrolling right will show a spectacular view from one of the darkest places left in the continental USA: Death Valley, California. The above 360-degree full-sky panorama is a composite of 30 images taken two years ago in Racetrack Playa. The image has been digitally processed and increasingly stretched at high altitudes to make it rectangular. In the foreground on the image right is an unusually placed rock that was pushed by high winds onto Racetrack Playa after a slick rain. In the background is a majestic night sky, featuring thousands of stars and many constellations. The arch across the middle is the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. Light pollution is threatening dark skies like this all across the US, and therefore the International Dark-Sky Association and the US National Parks Service are suggesting methods that can protect them.

Using ObjectDesktop, ObjectDock and DreamScapes. The clouds form, broil, break apart, the sea surges... completely animated, but not too distracting.
Mac (ish) look for the taskbar; I could probably cut another few icons down but it's a balance of minimalism and functionality.

KingDazza
26-01-2009, 09:42 PM
The trouble with Dreamscapes and the Stardock utility is that it uses resource the whole time its running. Whilst that obviously isnt huge, what it does mean is that your gpu will get up to a reasonable temp the whole time, you're just surfing the web etc. It can and does at times also interfere with gaming, albeit infrequently.
For example Crysis tends to launch in windowed mode instead of maximised due to dreams running. My GTX280 will happily sit for hours around 50C under a static wallpaper, but with a dream running, it'll quite quickly go up to 60C+.
Tis a shame becuase I used to love some of the Dreams I had for it. But for me I cant allow something to cause any conflicts whatsoever or burn resource permanately.
NeilX90
26-01-2009, 10:07 PM
Yup, fair comment. You can, of course, add a 'turn off the Stardock apps' button, but apart from the fact you have far better gfx than myself, we have similar systems; haven't had any problems or slow-downs with it, GPU heating or otherwise, but I guess it's a very individual thing.
However, can't disagree with your basic post which is running Stardock apps. uses resources. Undeniable.

With Vista, you can get a gagdet to do this and then hide the sidebar if required. "Wallpaper changer" This is how I do it. I have about 50 landscapes 1920*1200 saved in a folder which I add to daily, usually. Does not fade as nicely as W7 but still looks good and adds a little extra to the desktop.

Shortcuts shouldn't make any difference at all on today's hardware or tbh even yesterdays. Actual folders themselves or files, of course should never be left on the desktop.

If you have Vista you can get a gadget called Wallpaper timer which can randomly select a background for you from you collection. I have just exceeded 300 backgrounds in a folder which switch every five mins. Will save you the bother of doing it yourself. Interfacelift is a good site.
