Yep. I have mono so i'm home sleeping all the time. Actually, i think i'm better now but whatever lol.

So like a week or so ago i made this after a 4-hour nap and today i was going through my favorites and saw good ole' RSBANDB, so i thought to myself, "why not show them what i've been up to."

So here you go, it's a desktop i made to look like a diminishing fireball.

I use CS3 [-X Great job, but it seems a little too... empty. Try making a few more of those explosion things and it will look awesome. :)

I tried to leave it empty so you could put lots of icons around the desktop without it covering up the image. That, and if you Vista people are anything like my friend you have random things scattered around your desktop. So the plain-ness is to allow creativity with your numerous icons and such.

Numerous? I only keep six icons on my desktop. 2 folders to fit most of my icons (why clutter the desktop when you can just use 2 more clicks?), recycle bin, windows explorer, Firefox, and Photoshop.

Well, have fun with your icons... :|

Really cool look. Light coloured icons will really stand out well against that backdrop.

qwerty- Yes, i bought mine completally legally.

Chief- I used some grunge brushes and grungestract brushes and sharpened them. To get the blurry parts i just used a soft blur tool where i thought it needed it. Then i used the sponge tool around the outer parts to take away the color and give it a 'smokey' look.

qwerty- feel free to use it, i don't really use them so you guys will probably be the only ones that will lol.
