Man, Lance...you're always quick on the comments! Thanks for not just saying "first" by the way.

This is showing up as a broken link for me in all three browsers (ie, chrome, firefox). I can click on it and it takes me to Flickr where I can see it, but it's not showing up right on the site. It might just be me sucking, though.

I meant to say broken image, not broken link. The link works fine when I click.

Aaron: I had a bit of trouble with the backend (that's what she said). It should all be OK now?

That is pretty awesome...but I prefer my Umbrella Corporation login page background.

I want to see a screenshot of that. Is that on XP, Vista or Mac?

Pretty cool desktop. For those of you who like this one, check out the Mega64 Super Mario World desktop. I had that for awhile, and like it even more than this one.

@Lance Think I would have been first if I was not playing MUA

Noice!
Looks like a mac desktop... (even the link shows some unix looking code for macs)
Anyone knows if they have something for XP or Vista?

You can make something like this for Windows. I saw this elsewhere a few days ago, so I put together a similar background and set of meters in Vista using Samurize, which also works with XP.

It displays internal/external IP, Up/Down rates, time, current audio track in Foobar2000, current date, memory used/saved, and a quick notepad.

Some of the background elements are interactive. Click the internal IP and the router mgmt page loads in the default browser, the jumping piranha plant opens the recycle bin, and the Yoshi coin starts Foobar2000.

I cropped out the taskbar, but here's a screenshot http://img35.imageshack.us/img...creenn.jpg
