Post your desktops!

Included in the image is my usually auto-hidden task bar so you guys can see the nice, free, black theme that I found online for XP. It is a Microsoft-signed, unreleased theme available here. I love it!

This is probably the cleanest desktops I've had in a long while.

Usually there are just a few columns of blank icons, but this time there are only a few columns with anything at all.

I love the background image. I used to have a background image like This One. It is called Luminal Stasis if I remember right. The version I had was 1600 wide though.
