On Amiga sites it is inevitable that every couple of months a thread is opened inviting members to show screengrabs of their current Workbench setup. People get to show off their new 32bit png icon sets and ridiculously high res desktop with matching window themes etc.
However, there is always some really nicely presented Workbench setups on lowly AGA machines (and sometimes even ECS) in just 16-256 colours with well chosen palette, images, window/button textures etc.
You nearly always find out about some trendy desktop util that puts a floating transparent clock/calendar here, or cartoon Mr Banana there etc.![:)]()
Point is (I am getting there), I have yet to see an Atari equivalent. Granted there seems to be far less desktop personalising software on the ST/Ste/TT/Falcon range, but there is still quite a bit there.
Until fairly recently I did not know there was a program to allow me to display a nice 256 colour wallpaper to my Falcon Tos desktop. I wonder how many other trendy desktop/system enhancements I am not aware of...
So why not post some screenshots of your desktop? Also, why not tell us which desktop utils you use and why?
I am sure a lot of us would take some valuable tips away from this.
