    Thank you Cin. I would do so, but the avy is only 300x256 res :) However, for my desktop I'm using this. I'm trying to be simple. Some of the ideas I took from lifehacker.

    Cool, thanks for that. :)
    One last thing, the font, you've obviously made a few, have you used myriadpro regular font which looks like you have to pay for or something else?

    Alienized - that's a beautiful background.

    The eyes look very artificial - but else - sweet kitten!

    I was just thinking that it might be cool to have a desktop that looks like a cork board...Does anyone have pics or know of any programs that would help with this? I've seen one that lets you put post it notes on your wallpaper but I don't know what it's called...thanks for any help :)
