Since WINE.

MS released a Zune theme.
I changed the wallpaper that came with it, but I like the earth toned skin.

This is my Linux desktop (1440x900, because I have a widescreen display). I just switched to a snapshot I took last weekend. I used to have a really old family portrait in there, but this is better. It's higher-resolution than the version I posted in the other thread so you can see lines around the eyes and other signs that she's not a 20 year old any more, but I still like the shot.

My Windows desktop is a lot more generic: it's the "Time for you to leave" Republic clonetrooper screenshot that I use as a banning pic here, but without the caption. My kids use the computer in Windows, but nobody logs into my Linux account but me.

Space.com was doing a wallpaper run, and I snagged a few.

Google Photos isn't being nice to me, and/or I don't know how to work the forum's img tags. Could a mod help? The embed code is:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/3.norton/DesktopPicS/photo?authkey=5i6S3eyeWWs#5052510660554478114"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/image/3.norton/Rh4frSo5UiI/AAAAAAAAAKg/gwgfg1pm8ig/s144/Current%20Desktop.jpg" /></a>

Oh and I've finally DLed the Zune theme, and picked a new Wallpaper to go with it on my parent's machine:
