Nah. It'd just take an extra command to set a background and I don't bother to use one every time I run X (and I don't like .xinitrc ).

I haven't used the AXSTART in a long time, but I remember it having the same icon as SMAX (that alien head).

I don't like my desktop Sympatico icon at all. Might have to convert the Noia Warm PNG kppp icon myself to ICO or something.

ixnay: I prefer blue to white for a background--white is an intense color that's hard on the eyes, whereas one can stare at blue for hours without trouble

ObjectDock (with taskbar functionality disabled)
Getting large icon sizes in XP (I am using 96x96)

Foood's XP iCandy
Carlitus' Noia @ deviantart
Weboso @ deviantart
My own icons
Yours truly @ deviantart
IconPhile (nice for changing icons, but not all are available)

Windows Blinds with Crystal WB4 (not perfect; still might go back to Windows Classic)

my new desktop picture. This is a picture I took myself up at lake Tahoe region. This isn't Lake Tahoe though, it's a little pond called granite lake. The qualtiy is distorted because this was a scanned picture I stretched to fit my desktop.
