Anyone have any cool backgrounds for their HTPC. After I reformatted I'm still on the windows default and I need some ideas. What do you guys have on yours? Screenshots/Links.
 
backgrounds? like the theme inside media browser/etc?

I use the Brokeh theme. I rarely see the actual Windows Desktop, but I use one of the builtin themes that rotates pictures.

I recently setup a Win7 pc in my house that uses picasa as the background/screensaver and use my family/vacation pictures.
 
I use this for Windows background and this for MediaBrowser and Media Center background (courtesy of Media Center Studio).

Edit: broken link on the first wallpaper

I'm looking for the actual windows desktop background. I usually run XBMC and have some really nice themes and backgrounds in that but occasionally I drop back to the desktop to watch youtube/hulu/check email/etc. And I kinda wanted the theme to continue to the windows desktop too. I might just use one of my movie FanArt images like Azhar did but I didn't know if anyone knew of any themed wallpaper like this.

in media center you can call those applications from the menu and it doesnt show the desktop, just a black screen while loading. so i dont really see my desktop ever unless doing maintenance.

you cant call those apps from xbmc?

I probably could, just havent taken the time to figure out how yet. I haven't gotten much past initial setup and playing around with themes. Although for having done this for several years now, I should probably know more about the programs.
