Accidentally, I stumbled upon a thought provoking post <\/a>with the following words:<\/p>\n

If you’re really using your computer, your desktop should almost never be visible. Your screen should be covered with information, with whatever data you’re working on. I can’t imagine why you’d willingly stare at a static background image– or even a background image covered with a sea of icons. Unless you consider your computer a really expensive digital picture frame, I suppose.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well said!<\/p>\n

I haven’t thought much about this before, but suddenly I realized that I can strongly relate to the above statement.\u00c2\u00a0 My desktop is never visible.\u00c2\u00a0 And it was always a bit awkward for me to pick a background image (I know use slide show, which cycles through all images in my Pictures\/ directory) or a set of icons (I have a few in the corners of my desktop, but I never click on them, cause I never see them) to place on my desktop.<\/p>\n

I’m going to set it to a solid color right now.\u00c2\u00a0 And I’m going to remove the useless icons too.<\/p>\n
