The original pic came from some kind of charity advertisment and I think it's surreally funny.

I don't have any desktop icons at all.

Was inspired to change mine thanks to some amusement at work. When an email went around our Trust asking for volunteers to prepare a photo for a works calender that's being put together to collect money for charity, our I.T dept gladfully put their names forward, only to find out, as usual, that they were the ONLY dept to do so...... So, being as they were miffed at always being the only ones to volunteer for this sort of thing, they came up with this.....

My colleagues and i thought it was hysterical and are using it for our desktops at work, and i just had to use it at home as well..... for a while at least

Well done to the guys for being such good sports

So is mine (at home), well 1280x1024 anyway, and it can go up to 1600x1200 if I want it to, but I prefer to have a refresh rate of 85Hz on this one.
At work I have 2048x768 though on dual flatscreens, it's lovely but it would be better if I had 3 of 'em like our network admin does.

If you run a high res on your desktop (which I have never seen a 15" monitor do in my life) then how come you run your games in some silly 512x400 res or something?

Huh? All my games except HL2 run in 800x600. I run them in low resolutions because if I put them into 1024x768 I get an FPS of about 20. I use a high resolution in Windows for the certain applications I use (It also has less strain on my eyes).

798x601 is a lot closer to 800x600 than 512x384

I think you will find I had to re-size them as I don't have the software to open them up straight from the game and save them as JPEG.

Dude .. they're 800x600, exactly as you described, relax.

The latest one on my Linux box is pretty nice.
It's also from Deviant Art BTW, link here:
