Add some usefullness to your desktop image

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.

  • BGInfo is a great app for communicating intelligently with tech support, or with simply relaying system info to a developer who's trying to chase down a bug. If you're running SP1 and a problem has been fixed in SP2, then they can tell at a glance what's wrong.
