And welcome back to another month of boasting about who has the best pretty colors on their computer! =D Since it's December, feel free to post more festive wallpapers, but you can obviously just post whatever you like.

Some ground rules, as always:

1) Post your sources for your desktops, please! It does no good to anyone if your sexcellent image doesn't come with a source.
2) Remember to use the "Upload Image" function on the top-right corner of your posting box when posting your wallpaper.

3) When posting multiple wallpapers in a single post, please put them in spoiler tags to save space.
4) Speaking from prior experience, many people like to use the Rainmeter program to customize their desktops. While it's not required, if you have a particularly awesome Rainmeter setup, it'd be great if you explained how you got that setup, since odds are you'll be asked about it anyway.

EDIT: Some people apparently don't know what Rainmeter is. Rather than take up more space in the OP, I'll direct you to Rainmeter's website FAQ, which should tell you all you need to know.

Anyway, here's my current desktop:

One last thing: I noticed that yeti, the November thread creator, had a nice idea with the "Hall of Fame" for wallpapers that month. I'd like to incorporate that as well! The Hall of Fame will be reserved for the images that impress me / the general public most. Those images will be placed here for posterity.

Hopefully someone explains rainmeter so the OP can add it to his post.

Also, hopefully more people actually post sources this month.

It's the front cover to Black Foliage by Olivia Tremor Control.

E: Only not sized right for some reason.

Fairly simple setup, rocketdock, autohide taskbar for use if I ever need to use stuff not in the Rocketdock, rocketdock also autohides as well as hide icons on desktop. I just use a rotation of my own semi-decent(if I may be alittle self appreciative) abstract backgrounds that I make with cinema 4d + photoshop from scratch.
