    Here's a pic of mine, the still photo doesn't do it justice, using the Deskscapes liquid wallpaper along with a custom Envy Beats background with Objectdesktop. Water drops cause the beats logo to ripple, I think it compliments my black Envy Beats paintjob.

    i used stardock's two programs, objectdock (you can create as many docks as you want and place them on the top, bottom, sides, and add different effects) and deskscapes. Deskscapes gives you animated wallpaper. The still shot doesn't do the rippling background justice. plus, my cpu still idles below 7 percent and my memory hovers around 20 percent (8GB).

    Rocketdock is a free alternative to objectdock, and you can try deskscapes out for free.

    It's not a Envy, but its a DM3, and I think their pretty much in the same class except for the looks and performance. But then again, thats what sets these two laptops apart from each other. hahaha, anyways.

    Hey, I was wondering if you can also send me a copy of your wallpaper?
