I have been searching for the perfect desktop to match up with the amazing SIRO theme, I am going to guess it will have a hint of turquoise in it to match the highlight color of SIRO, but I am looking for other users to throw me their input and perhaps post a link to the perfect SIRO match. Ok I am off to take my OCD medicine now

the "perfect" siro desktop picture is anything you feel looks the best. everyone has different tastes.

I use one titled "white" that I downloaded from Deviant Art.

Here is a picture of it running with SIRO that I took for my Adium Contact List submission.

Hands down this

If you don't believe me download it and fire up Siro. Use the Rev2 folders to give it that extra touch

The thing on the right is iPulse
The thing on the left is adium, and it's a do-it-yourself. It's the beta and all you have to do is play around with the prefs. I changed the status icons myself after seeing someone else do it in the screenshot thread - there is a how to there.

Thanks!

Great snapshot - but why would you call it Siro 2.0

Here's a nice Siro touch : SIRO Alternative iTunes by siMac

Well worth implementing !

i called it Siro 2.0 in a slightly cocky manner since its so beautiful I would try to apply that mod if I had the time and the patience, but right now I do not, thanks for pointing it out though

impressive as Patrick Bateman would say however there has to be some more abstract ones that go well with siro, thats the only problem, if there is no turquoise or silver the desktop doesnt go will with siro, anyone find some colors that match well with the theme besides the obvious silver and turquoise?
