The competition will generally be judged by the respondents on this forum (including fellow contestants). The criteria for criticism or commendation should be

1. Colour Scheme  
2. Desktop Wallpaper  
3. Organisation of Icons, taskbars, widgets etc
4. Anything else you can cram into that desktop to create an appeal to the general house of Graphics!

NB: Feel free to submit as many samples as possible!

@Phishaman
I totally agree with Raymond88's comment about your desktop being too dark. I'd suggest bringing back your desktop icons to balance the colour scheme.

I like @tomX's presentation.

@oyb
I'm totally feeling your desktop and I think that's the most appealing so far and so good (thanks to Windows Vista's enhanced graphics capabilities).

Guys & Ladies,  let's keep em coming! I'm sure there are a lot of mind blowing desktop screenshots out there just waiting to be seen!

Cheers

True man, nice concept. Especially for safeguarding your special softwares.

Anyways, here's my latest desktop concept. I just upgraded (Super-pimped) my system today. Would you believe it's the very same system I was using when I placed my first posting?

And After!

Nice, I'm feeling the icon arrangement on the side. That's something "XTRA"

Here's another view of my desktop
