Mine's just the Windows classic theme with a black background with all post 3.1 special effects turned off. Not much to show.

It's a screenshot of Panama from Google Earth (circa 2007, when most of the globe was still cloudy and green). You can see the original image here.

How do I do a screen capture on a mac? God I feel like a moron.

Is there a way of leaving a bunch of Windows widgets running and toggling the visibility, or can they only be turned on and off individually?

It's some teeny tiny gif that I stole from some website and just tiled it. I love that it's colorful but minimal, because I rarely have the whole desktop visible.

This graphic makes it way easier for me to keep the desktop uncluttered.

Haven't changed my home desktop in ages. It's Tarot card "Strength" from the Rider-Waite deck by artist Pamela Colman Smith.

Senyar, that's awesome!

Well, almost...very neat, but you forgot to empty your recycle bin, Senyar!

OMG, Senyar, that's the coolest desktop ever.

I'd seen this b&w version in a small .gif and so did an AskMe about it. Our very own Mullacc found the colour picture for me.

We have two monitors (the second being a 52" TV), so that's the reason for the second image on the right. Image by Chris Haley.

This is actually a desktop I made for a client, but the client doesn't know about it yet... so, Ssssshhhh!

That's actually one of Jessamyn's photos. I loved it so much I made it my desktop.

Mine's far too nerdy and fangirly. Embarrassing!

We'll have you over that in no time.

I just cleaned up.

I change my desktop wallpaper all the time. Right now it's daisies. But the only picture that I keep going back to over and over is this one.

(Although I might have to add senyar's to my mix. That's awesome.)

On this computer, it's a lot like octo's, except with an autohide taskbar and no icons on the desktop.

Oh, and APOD wallpaper.

I've just now realized that arse_hat's desktop terrifies me.
