GetInfo, copy and paste. But I must not get carried away, as the desktop could end up a really messy place with insects and piglet faces all over. So I just did a few,,,,,,,,
Ive got some amazing desktop patterns(revolving) and some super screensavers. Tis indeed fun to customize your machine. I dont see many of my friends doing this with their PCs.
I can remember last year when we had a thread here where we showed pictures of our computers and desktops, that was fun.
A fun thing to do is to take pictures over a year or so, of just clouds and skys, then make them into desktop pattern series. Its easier on the eyes.

conizer Pro is an application developed for automatically generating a set of 32 bit million-color icons from any picture to be a background of CD, folder or other container windows. The icons, unlike Mac OS X default background, can also be viewed on any Mac OS from Mac OS 6 through Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Iconizer can also create blank transparent icons which show only their names. Apple's DeepMask is supported, so users can create icons with different levels of transparency. Support 5 languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Actually the icons I made with Elements by hand this afternoon are pretty snifty!
Just looking at the $ that I gave last year to the Humane Society of America to help evacuate and care for the abandoned pets during Katrina, paying for software is nothing.
