Although the Christmas backgrounds are nice, let's admit it, some of us are just scanning the images to see what icons are on there so we can blag a new program off someone (or see what they normally log-in to) :D

Be honest! :lol:

It was on the '7 days' section of Flickr:

There are some really fantastic photos on there; it's well worth checking them out.

I've uploaded the full file below

And as for messy desktop, I think that's pretty tidy, to be honest.

I don't subscribe to this twaddle about clearing everything off your desktop is a great idea. Yes, millions of files lying about there is bad organisation, but a few word documents that you're working on very regularly or need to consult often are much easier to put there than having to go through 6 folders and a zip file.

Tidy desktops are for people who have nothing important to look at!

Wallpapers (near the bottom I think).

The countdown is explained on the last page.

It's a widget for the Yahoo! Widget Engine.

Program
Clock

You'll have to customize it to get rid of all the clutter (right click on the clock and click 'Clear custom images and sounds' when installed).
