Screen Background Images
by William Shotts, Jr.
Yeah, I know it's not a script, but I have been dismayed by the quality of many of the screen background images that are supplied with popular Linux distributions.
To help make things better, I have designed some custom background images. They must be good, I use them myself!
You can download them from my photography site.
