The image you place on your desktop doesn’t just have to be a image that looks back at you all day. Make it something usefull.

Ideas

  • Desktop Calendar: We are always looking for a calendar and now you can have one easily on your desktop.
  • Add guidelines to any image to show different resolutions. This is what my desktop looks like. I have my resolution set to 1280 x 1024 and have an image on my desktop with guidelines for 640 x 480, 800 x 600, and 1024 x 768. What this does is let me see how much of a screen an applications window will fill.
  • System Information: Place some critical system information right where you can see it.

Tell me what you have, outside of the normal image, on your desktop.
