TUAW Desktops of the Week for 4/30 - 5/5/07
Next up is Mac OS X Desktop in a Mosaic from Flickr user blumensath, a desktop that is interesting primarily due to the way it was created. Blumensath used MacOSaiX, a mosaic generating app, and plugged in Flickr pictures tagged with "osx" to create a cool mosaic of... well, Mac OS X.
These next two images from t_szuba receive honorable mention for their minimal setup and shout out to the old school days of Apple. They're both running Panic's Stattoo and Sophia Teutschler's CoverSutra, and both feature custom app icons for the left-aligned Dock and Unsanity's ShapeShifter. While t_szuba mentions the wallpaper designers for both desktops, no link was provided (yet).
If you'd like to see your unique, functional or otherwise interesting desktop featured in our TUAW Desktops of the Week series, check out past featured desktops as well as the original post for the rules and to get an idea of what we're looking for. Then, upload your desktop screenshot to our TUAW Desktops Flickr group. We'll feature one or more desktops each weekend, giving credit to the desktop owner, wallpaper creator and any apps featured in the screenshot (if available). Keep those desktops rolling in!

That mosaic picture is cool, but setting it as a wallpaper would drive me insane.
Also, I would like that classic Apple logo wall. Anyone have a link?

That first wallpaper is the ugliest and saddest I have ever seen. That is bad taste. Wouldn't our societies be better off without that crap? Stupid teenagers...

I believe that first desktop is using a picture by Lars P. Mathiassen. I went to his website to look for it, and he has changed the layout recently. More of his pictures can be found at www.cityscapewallpapers.com

Richard, well i guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, what is it? you don't like graffiti?
I really liked the picture and that's why i put it as a wallpaper, and i am 32 so i must be the oldest teenager in the world. Bad taste! hahahah!

Yea, I really like that icon theme in both wallpapers. I have Shapeshifter and I'd like to download whatever theme that is but I can't find the name anywhere. Can anyone help me out?

The ShapeShifter theme in the last two shots is PhotoPro and it can be found on InterfaceLift :)
