Here's happy news
The first flat panel that came with my iMac had a horrible color shift - Something that was dark gray at the top was nearly white at the bottom. It also had one dead pixel.
Apple replaced it with a new screen. That one still had a slight color shift, but it was so much better I didn't care. Unfortunately, the power light was completely dead. It had three dead pixels.
The techs thought they could fix the power light without replacing the whole screen, but they were wrong. So I am now on screen number 3. But! This one has zero color shift (as it should be) and no dead pixels! Whoo-hoo for my good fortune!
Anyway, with no dead pixels I can use cool desktops like this.

It looks dodgy, but why do I get the feeling it's not? You don't strike me as a pirate, Ensign...?
its not a pirate, its a test version from our local AppleCentre (I don't want to buy it yet)

When it has been completed I will start a new thread and then u will like it. It is in the middle of being redone although I haven't touched either powermac for a few days (I use my PBs for most things)

Well, I hate to encroach upon others' territory, but I have to most humbly submit that it is I who has the most boring desktop.
I took the image from the Adobe Stock Art included on the CD with Photoshop 6. It originally had a big dandelion in it, but I got sick of that and made it just sky.

I'm late to the game here, but hey, what the heck.. here's my current desktop. anyone know of any cool themes? I would like the menu bar to be a little bit darker. I'm new to OSX and have only begun to customize.

call me stupid, but where would I find these themes and how would I install them? Also, I've noticed that some docks have white arrows under opened apps. How do I do that? Also, anyone know of the temperatures of the 800mhz g4 in the new tibooks can be measured? AquaMon says it's unsupported..
this is dual monitors...the pic got a little small in my haste, though you can see all the "FAT" realestate, I really care less what's on the desktop, I usually have a million windows open though...and if you could zoom in, you'd see that in my build 10.1.5, it actually says build 5545, not 10.1.5!
