Nice desktop Flatline. Kinda. I've seen many like it, and I have yet to understand what those shapes are supposed to be. From what I've seen, it's relatively easy to make those sort of shapes (maybe not exactly like yours, it looks a bit more complex). I wouldn't be able to do it myself, either, but that's because I have never used the program (it's too expensive, and I don't warez). I kinda like having desktops with more of a purpose, or a recognizable image. It's still nice, though. Not slamming your desktop.
I've made some desktops on my site. You may better understand what I'm trying to say when you see what I make.

They were in 2000AD, although they may have appeared in some other comics. They were in several stories...
First: RoBusters... or something like that. Basically Thunderbirds, but with robots, and in a comic... and not very like it. They did rescue missions too dangerous for people.
Then ABC warriors (anyone remember <i>the mess</i> )
And they were in "Nemesis the Warlock"
Might of been some other ones, I cannot remember.
My brother used to collect 2000AD, used to read them lots when I was younger...
2000AD is still going, but it looks like it sucks quite a bit now.
Amazon has a load of ABC graphic novels listed, but they all seem to have Limited Availability.
Again, this is only up until someone can't appreciate the artistic quality of it. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
a modified "Baka" desktop...the most infested winamp 2 skin i could find (winamp2 takes 3 MB running memory, winamp 3 takes 25MB running memory....and when your modeling, it makes a difference)

that still doesn't make up for the fact that you have X-box related stuff, but it's okay. whatever make you happy, becuase when it boils down to it, you should do what you want becuase you can, and I would post the desktop, but I'm on el crapo skewl Dell computer, with bland unimaginatve desktop becuase colors other than blue can make it so the handicapped students can't see what is on the desktop

Actually, I don't even own one. I couldn't pass up the cool theme, however. The anime, X, rocks though. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
