There's something about the idea of multiple screens surrounding me with green Matrix glyphs running down them that really appeals to me. When I'm sitting at work, I've got three screens in front of me -- one for my Windows PC, and two for my Mac laptop that is my primary machine. When I'm not using them, I use Matrix screensavers to create the Matrix effect, but if you ask me, that's not really ...

As someone who has used Windows as my primary operating system for years, I got very comfortable with modding various parts of the user interface. One of the things that was most fun to change is the startup image - my favorite was a very official looking FBI splash screen that made it look like you were logging onto a government computer. Since switching to the Mac platform, I've been surprised ...

If you're anxious for Snow Leopard to ship, you might be excited to know that you can grab copies of the built-in desktop images, thanks to the developer previews and a crafty blogger over at Uneasy Silence.

If Jordan's post yesterday about desktop backgrounds that don't suck didn't provide you with enough options to find the right wallpaper for your system, head on over to Wikipedia. They have a page there dedicated to featured desktop backgrounds filled with gorgeous photographs that are perfect for use on your desktop. Most of the images there will likely make ...

Over the past few months, we've given you quite a number of resources to check out for interesting and funky desktop wallpapers. So now that you've got a bunch of favorites, isn't it a pain to go in and switch them manually? Obviously somebody at Microsoft thought so too, so they created the Windows XP Creativity Fun Pack PowerToys Wallpaper Changer. No, unfortunately I'm not kidding about that ...

There’s something about imagery on a computer screen that appears to be worn or eroded. Most everything we look at has straight lines, nicely curved corners and colors that “pop”. 555 Design takes us in another direction, with desktops and other eye candy that look worn down, rusty or just plain old.
