Wow, lots of neat fractals in there - is there a site that you use, or are those just collected over the years?

I also use a set (nowhere near 400 though) of random fractal, astronomy, anime, and photo images - here is an interesting one:

Cool article, too. Some guy managed to achieve 2 billion degrees Kelvin, equal to about 3560000000° F!

The fractals: I took screenshots of the ones I liked, using 3 different fractal generating softwares over the years.

The oldest ones were generated under System 7 using a program called Floating Fractals. I switched to another one called PowerXPlorer and used it during MacOS 8-9 years.

Finally, under OS X, I made heavy use of the screensaver Fracture.

Wow, thanx for that link, great Fractals with Fracture (i personally mainly use StratWars though :) )

Here's another of mine:

I have about 60 randomly changed every 15 minutes, but I think this is my favorite. Odd I know since it's OS X and not Linux, but my PB is a dual-boot with Gentoo, so I consider it valid ;).

For me, I've got Gaffer's galaxy. It's one of 399 images from which one is chosen at random at bootup for each of my monitors. Cool. Love it :)

I just went on a 'deviant art rampage' and got most of the good 3d ones, bringing my tally up to 236 :)

here is mine... pretty new to macs (just got a powerbook a few months ago).
see it

I have about 33 pictures changing every 5 seconds.

Nice desktops! I love these threads, gives me ideas of stuff to do with mine. Im coming off of Ubuntu Linux to OS X so I LOVE chaging everything I can, as often as physically posible. Well here's my current desktop

My Desktop
 

Ok, it's a little boring but here it is.

Nothing to see here...

I use MenuShade, Hazel, Dock Hiding, and Finder Preferences to keep my desktop free of distractions.

This isn't the desktop you are looking for!

Nice pics everyone,

Ron, seriously that desktop is messy!!!!! Your theme is very cool though I like it!

It's about as dull as you can get, isn't it?

I made a gradual transition to my current desktop (a fade to black ;)) Among other things, this was briefly my desktop - pre MenuShade:

Then I switched to this self portrait - but I felt silly looking at myself:

I had the kids up there for a while, but I'm a full time, stay at home dad. I see them plenty already. :D

Cool! How does that work in combination with semi-transparent inactive windows?http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/6544/85414018ws5.png

Here's mine... It's a fractal I made a couple of years ago.

Yep, I am a busy (messy) person. Thanks for the compliment!:rolleyes:

The theme is pulsar which is a mixture of turquoise, black and grey. I am glad that someone shares my taste for the look of a desktop.
