Desktop Concept

I was just thinking about the desktop and the icons, and was wondering: wouldn't it be cool it some one made a background that looked like a monitor, but without the screen, just the hollow box with the components? It would look like the icons and taskbar were floating in space... I don't have any 3D rendering programs besides Terragen (or the skills to use them), so I'm just putting the idea out there. Feel free to use the idea to your liking and take full credit.

Yeah it could be a CRT or a flat panel LCD (which I have). Either one would be cool.

Have a desktop picture of the insides of a deep CRT on a flat LCD... that would be a nice illusion.

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from an artist is to make him ruin his work. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - 1832)

Anyone know what the inside of a monitor looks like from the front? I mean, I would have though it was mainly the CR Tube.

Darn, I just threw out an old 17 inch CRT a few months ago.

Anyone remember the windows 98 desktop theme called "Inside Your Computer? It came with this wallpaper. I believe that's the effect they were going for.

Oh yeah, I remember that now. Its cool, but I don't think thats what I was talking about. That looks like the inside of the CPU Case, not the inside of the monitor.

It's a neat idea anyway.
