Great Wallpaper Siavash, I do like this and it seems to show the viewer your idea of having a fast paced concept of the ideas you are promoting. Great Job and a dark background has always been a favorite of mine.

Well Siavash, I expect some people will appreciate the black space as it gives plenty of room for icons on the desktop. I’m not sure if the orange is symbolic or not but it fits into place nicely and the colour goes well the colours in the logo. I find the text a little disturbing but then I’m a photographer and like to see things sharp so perhaps others might nothing wrong with the text. Over all I think it’s a well thought out piece of artwork with all the elements and colours coming together to deliver a clear message in a very attractive way.

I think this is great desktop. Planty of room for icons on the black background. I don´t find the text disturbing at all.
Couldn´t you do somthing with an apple too (Macintosh) I would love that ;)

The black background being black and minimal complements the title "XP" which is also minimal and makes the title stand out and catch the eye, especially with the chosen colors, the creation of movement with the blue lines and the complementary orange which fills the hole in the P and adds more excitement. The thing that I might not be keen on is the blurred red lettering. I would be tempted to clean my glasses and that would be a detraction and distraction for me. (I think we sometimes do judge a book, at least preliminarily) by its cover. The red lettering is already considerably smaller than the XP and maybe all that is necessary is to blur them a lot less than they are. You have some great idea with this cover/wallpaper already.

I agree with everyone on the black coloring & the "XP" with the orange I like too. The smaller red letters appear to be blurred (by design I suppose?) I find them a little distracting. Other than that it looks good!

I love the use of the orange, totally compliments the image and i think it's very creative of u! Also, the blue lines around XP letters give a sense of motion, a really nice touch and as for the small letters, I like them just as they are, wouldn't change a thing. Very nice work!

I really like your design, the only suggestions I would have is to make the orange a bit smaller so that doesn't overwhelm the "P" and I would cut back a bit on the blurring of the words "Extreme Programing" since the red against the black makes it difficult for some to read anyway. Just throwing these suggestions out for what it is worth. Well done!

Everyone has pretty much covered my thoughts. Black background - excellent. The blue outline for XP shows great movement. The yellow "shadow" of the XP is a terrific idea, too. The orange (for whatever it represents to the artist) is a little oversized, I think (just a little). Finally, the text is a little over blurred for my tired old eyes. I would reduce the blur and maybe add a couple points to the font size. All-in-all an interesting composition and well done.

The design looks great Siavash ... I do like the colorings of the letters & it makes a very nice desktop. The only change I would make ... like the others pointed out ... is a little less blurring on the red lettering. Otherwise this is a perfect book cover & wallpaper. Very creative work.

Hey. We've got a geek in the house! ;) just kidding. The cover looks great. I know some programming, but I'd like to know more, especially since my graduate research solely deals with a simulation program in the (oh, here we go) the legendary C++. I wanna make a new website called IHateMicrosoft.com.
