Layered Desktop

    An incredible productivity boost.

    Get the full size version and set it as your desktop background. Make sure you select a *centred* layout instead of *stretched to fit*, or the fine lines will be blurred.

    Use it to organise your icons in groups, like:

    - the paper area for work stuff;
    - the aluminium plate for personal projects;
    - the wooden desk for yet to be categorised elements, like finished or in-progress downloads.
    - the post-it for urgent elements.

    The image works well with displays up to 1440px wide and up to 1024px tall, in either standard or wide aspect ratios. If you have a bigger screen, I hate you :-)

    See it in action here or get the dark version here.

    If someone's interested in remixing this, please contact me for the original PSD.

      Even if this will attract your hate... can you do this in 1680 x 1050 ?

      10x mate

    3. Gabriel Radic (84 months ago | reply)

      Well yes, yes, I can. And I will.

      It'll be the first thing I'll do on my shiny new iMac 20". Around Christmas, if I'm lucky :-)

      PS: the PSD is available for your tinkering pleasure. It's not a photo.

      Has someone made a 1680 x 1050 version yet? Love it, but its not wide enough.

      Hey

      Love the wallpaper!

      Don't suppose you could send me the PSD because I'd like to just move the boxes a little bit =]

      My email is R.O.A.Collins@gmail.com

      Thanks in advance.

      I think this is a great idea, but I feel people's pain with the lack of a bigger version. If you send me the PSD at samsmith8821@gmail.com I'd be happy to increase the size and send it back to you.

      Thanks =D

    12. shawnjanes (59 months ago | reply)

      This is a GREAT idea! Good show. I would like to have a copy of the PSD as well, to move the areas around a little and make a higher resolution wallpaper. Would you mind emailing that to me (shawnjanes@ymail.com)?

      Love it!

    32. xryx (59 months ago | reply)

      Gabriel, great idea! I can't tell you how much I like this and wonder why I never thought of it =)

      I'd love a link to the PSD so I could create a version for my 24" widescreen. Thanks..

    33. Gabriel Radic (59 months ago | reply)

      @Kris Kersten: Thanks for sharing the remix. BTW, if you crop the image to 1024x768 it woks great. I actually originally designed it for my PowerBook 12" :-)

      Cheers

    46. Gabriel Radic (58 months ago | reply)

      Everyone: I don't see those remixes pouring in :-s

    47. neil lall (58 months ago | reply)

      couldn't do a proper remix because it doesn't work too well with the GIMP, but I did managed to turn it into a GNOME wallpaper slideshow (pretty basic obviously as it only has 2 images with a fade between them).
      anyways, love the wallpaper! thanks!

    48. Barb Young (58 months ago | reply)

      Garbriel, what a great idea. Please send the PSD link to barbyoung[at]gmail.com. Thanks!
