My  Computer Desktop.

Spirituality is for people who have been there.

Here's a picture of my Workbench at the moment:

http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~amigaos/AmigaOS39_April2004.png

It changes fairly regularly, I get bored of the look and try something else.  Mainly I change the backdrop for the Workbench and Amidock.

The only problem I do find is that I've got to drop the backdrop if I want to run any Warp3D games because otherwise there's not enough free memory for P96 (thank Elbox for that one)  I don't tend to run games on my miggy that often so generally it's not a problem.

It's AmigaOS3.9 running on an A1200

Wow.  Sure you didn't fake any of that? :-)

If you didn't, I have to say, that's the best-looking Amiga desktop I've seen.

It's really fun seeing all the Amiga GUI fads from over the years... MagicWB, Newicons, Glowicons, now PNG icons...

And they say Mac users are image obsessed! :-D

There's a significant difference between "us" and "them Mac users".  AmigaOS by default is a very basic-looking OS.  MacOS's default look is what most Mac users tend to use, give or take a few tweaks.  We put more effort into it :-)

Heh, unfortunately I'm no graphics artist so faking that would take me far longer than twiddling with the settings in Workbench ;-)

Here's my desktop too:

http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~amigaos/Desktop.jpg

And before you lot say "Hah caught you! You're running Windows, I can see the same media player running on your laptop!"

a) Windows could never look that good

b) It's AmigaAMP running the same skin as WinAMP.

It's a very nice skin actually - Kalak Amplifier.  If you're an AmigaAMP user and you've not seen this skin, get it!

The default MacOS X Interface looks amazing imho, most Mac users tend to agree.
There are many ways to change the look of MacOS X but I don't really go further than changing the backdrop because I love the default look.
