[IxDA Discuss] Desktop Wallpapers

[Peyush Agarwal]

Hi Maxim,
I use pictures I've taken, and my daughter's artwork. For office computer though, I also add to these pics minimal cross-hairs for various screen-sizes so I can simply scale the browser to them in order to quickly approximate design on various resolutions.

Let me know if you'd want to see samples.

I want to thank everybody for great links and answers on my questions.


Also I would like to know what do you think about following idea:

As you know sometimes people organize shortcuts on their desktops in
the groups, like
- Internet related,
- Office related,
- Games,
- Multimedia and so on.

Do you think it will help user if those groups/areas will be visually
emphasized a little bit?

For example:
- Games related shortcuts will be placed in nice box with slightly
colored background
- Multimedia will be placed in another box with different color

So after some time of use user will have strong associations of
application groups with specific colors.

Yes, there are practical issues, like if I add new shortcut to Games
group and it will not fit into drawn box, but I would like not
consider them at this point.

What do you think?
