My first complete Active Desktop! It's been years since Microsoft published the feature (1997) but I think it's still got it's uses. The small "desktop" tag in the upper left is there to minimize all open applications. I also had to match the color of the real desktop to the color underneath the icon in the lower right because I don't have a fancy widget thingy running which will turn those transparent. This wallpaper was taken from Yokohama Fuka.
