does anyone know where there are good athens / olympic desktops?

when i google, i just find some pretty juvenile (imo) ones, mostly with the mascots, some just quick collages of aports images.

what i would like to see are desktops with just the athens wreath symbol against a simple background.

I can try to make a couple for you, when you say 'simple background' what exactly are you expecting, and at what resolution?

I found two on Spymac with the Athens2004 logo. One with the logo on the left and one on the right. It was one of my daily searches that led me to those. If you can't locate them on Spymac just say so and I'll upload the ones I have.

Edit: I have uploaded a zip archive with 3 desktops and a Mail icon. I forgot to include the readme for the Mail icon, but I found it at Wincustomize.com. The archive is 1.4mb in size.

Click here to download

If you want I can upload the in .sit instead.

One of the desktops is at a low res and not really suitable for use. But it's nice.

- for me a simple background would be a solid, one color, field or something.
- something similar to the default jaguar, panther backrounds.
-- so, i see the white olive branch wreath logo (about 1/2 or 2/3 of the screen height) in the center of blue
(boring, i guess -- or, some might say, cmove-esque)

-thanks for the link: i got the files and i'm trying them out (well, not the mail icon, tho it looks cool -- i've hacked enuf of my apps for awhile).


thanks.

Thx a bunch - those are really nice. Love the icons too.
