Guess I'll join in the fun. Modified to hide a bit of the current project-ness. :-*

Woo-hoo! Tomiko! Here is mine, it is almost the same as the Windows, but with my current desktop. And Tomiko is there too!

Yeah. DAI and Ayu and Asian Kung Fu Generation all on the same wallpaper? It's like Japanese music figure overload!

And to that note, I really wish iTunes Music Store (or any other service for that matter) would open up some Japanese content so I can buy music without paying out the donkey for imports.

My desktop randomly changes every 10 minutes. It chooses between these (Caution: that files around 5 megs =P) and it looks like the attatched with my favorite wallpaper up.

SJ: Wallpaper.zip not found. Also, would you mind sharing the plain image file for the attached shot of your desktop? I really love that image.

Fixed the link. Here is a link to the real image, as well as the Deviant Art page it came form.
[url http://www.deviantart.com/view/14451456/]

EDIT: If you like that image, you really should check the rest of the images in the zip I linked to above, there's a few more like that, and others that I like. Some of them will make no since because they're my friends, though

Very beautiful coloring in that deviant art SJ! Nice and blue :)

Err, how do you take a screenshot of your desktop in linux? In windows I would just hit the prntscrn key which puts a snapshot in your clipboard. Is there an equivalent of this in linux? I'm using Arch.

Well, maybe I should join teh funnay, even if there's nothing spectacular in my desktop... (other than that I'm trying to keep the icons in specific groups)

But notice the MP3 rendered versions of Point of Departure and Devotion of Hope!! :D

OpenLayer has reached a random SVN version number ;) | Online manual | Installation video!| MSVC projects now possible with cmake | Now alvailable as a Dev-C++ Devpack! (Thanks to Kotori)

Gnome Ubuntu has gnome-screenshot for it, you press Print Screen and be done with it. There are other programs to create screenshots for Linux, though I never really used them before.

KDE has ksnapshot which does it, in some distros it has a shortcut of printscreen, but I don't think it's the default.

EDIT: forgot to post my desktop :-[

Rey: yes! You use the desktop one if you have no other applications open; you use the bottom one when you have other windows open and can't see the desktop; the third one is probably an iconified firefox...

Yay! I love them both! ;D

Here's my SuSE desktop. Doesn't look like much, but I'm a n00b after all. Since I saw some of you using gkrellm, I thought about giving it a try. I've wanted to have something like that for a while already.

And speaking of gkrellm, when I saw NyanKoneko's shot I almost fell off my chair! A definite winner. :)

Tobi:
Sure it's simple :)

#!/bin/bash
xset dpms force off

I like it because my laptop screen doesn't turn off when I close the lid, so I just use this to save battery and screen life.

Credits go to Jonz for the original implementation :P

SailorMoonchld: Better yet, I'll give you a link to it (because I don't know where to send it to). ;)
The place where I found that image is the HongFire Anime Network's wallpaper gallery
