Reactive Desktops

(originally posted on AmeCon forums)

At the moment though I'm playing around with some concept work of my own. I've been thinking of an adaptive system that will shadow the region below desktop icons so that they are more legible on a busy backdrop.

I've made a few inspirational designs to help describe how it might look (at the minute it means overlaying a gradient on top of an image [incidentally - this is a nifty way to make a larger resolution wallpaper using a smaller resolution image - using the empty space as a gradiated bar where your desktop icons sit]):

Hope you like the concept
