This idea is a software
program that takes as an input a
desired background picture and
a full "desktop" folder, and
then approximates that picture
by arranging the desktop icons.
There are existing programs
which make a picture as a
mosaic of other pictures, so this
shouldn't be too
difficult
to do in theory.
I prefer to use search to organize
my documents on my
Windows computer. In other
words, I save pretty much
everything to "desktop" with a
descriptive name, then,
when my desktop folder
becomes so large that it takes
more than a second to sort by
date, I copy
everything more than 2 months
old into an "old desktop -date-"
folder. This works OK but tends
to hide the desktop background
picture since the entirety of screen space is covered in a
mish-mash of icons and file names. Which is what led to
this idea.
Not sure if this goes in the
desktop:background or
desktop:icons category.

Is there a icon set that's little toast shapes with varying shades? |
