I like simple desktop backgrounds

And now I have a repository to download them from. Check out SimpleDesktops.com for a selection of highly usable desktop backgrounds, like the one above

Frankly, I just don’t understand how people can use super-realistic futuristic cars, or hot chicks, or movie stills or whatever as a desktop background. How do you find your icons against such a busy backdrop? I much prefer the simple approach.

    This is the one I use:

    but then I don’t usually use the stuff on my desktop — I use the start menu, the launcher, or the command line.

    I could get behind that one, but mostly I prefer a plain colour with some kind of graphic element setting it off. I use my desktop for everything. It’s basically the “My Documents” or “Documents” folder for me.
