Looking for useful wallpaper

[Michael Laplante]

Windows wallpaper is largely a cosmetic gimmick. However, years ago I
stumbled across a site where you could download functional wallpaper. It was
wallpaper upon which you could organize your desktop icons in some sort of
functional fashion. For example, one was a flowchart type drawing where you
could group your icons in logical (to the user) fashion. Another was a
desktop with items such as a open briefcase, a clock, a pencil sharpener
upon which you could place working files, calendar programs, and utilities
(as an example).

I could make my own and will if necessary but wondered if anyone had come
across some already done.

No, I know that one. It was just the one site and the author had produced
about a dozen of these wallpapers that used a variety of metaphors. For
example, one was a tree and you could put icons for similar programs along
the various branches. It was a clever idea, but that was years ago and I
haven't come across it again.

Guess I'll have to make my own. . . Thx for the effort.
