What does your MAME desktop look like?

As for my 'desktop' I use a mame logo I stole from someplace. Also modified the windows 98 boot screens and replaced the ugly Intel bios screen with a custom mame logo. I ditched all the icons and have everything I need on the quick launch bar that is on auto hide. I also use my cab as a juke box (80 gigs of mp3's!!!) so it's cool for me to have a blank background, When I am playing music I can start a cool visulation thingy that pulses lights to the music. I also can play music while I am playing games in mame, very cool option BTW!

Plus, you can always refuse to let them play on it until they get off their high horses and accept that it's still awesome.

I have a standard boot up process with two hardware profiles and logins. If I am going to have a party or friends are coming over I just boot it up prior to their arrival. We all have fun and I just power it down after they have left. :cheers:
The other hardware profile/login is for the kids to be able to do some homework if the main computer is occupied. ;)

So far, I have three screens that are set up in the boot up/desktop process..
The boot screen, which replaces the windows logo(although still 16 colors, looks much better when not resized)..
The "default" desktop bg (which is seen when windows is loading settings)(also seen for longer than the one below when shutting down)
and the Desktop BG (which would be seen right before the GUI loads up)(and for a small moment when shutting down)
I tried to make it seem like a coherent progression, and the fact that the only difference between the "default" and "user" BG is a small message looks cool when loading up... since theres no screen flicker between the two it actually looks like some console is giving you status messages.. Also, the BG image itself and the top bar are both from my Mala theme, which work to integrate everything as well. The bar and BG are the same, and then "the logo dissapears and the GUI pops in" when MaLa loads..
I'm not sure if this is a new idea, so I'm putting it out there as one people might like to know about... it definitely helps to visually (and mentally) "replace" windows ...
