I have delinked the URL and pointed out that it's potentially NSFW. If anyone else uses similar shots, that would be the best way to deal with them - hopefully no one will get told off at work, school or church!
Obviously, and this should go without saying, this is not permission for porn desktops to start appearing.
I don't know why but for some reason I've never liked docky. I guess it's too windows vista like and I just hate that, would that make me a man with prejudices ?

That's Avant Window Navigator, not Docky.
Anyway, I tried to use a dock to see it it was better, and I hated it. The way the application launchers and other aplets look the same and are not separated was very confusing and cluttered-looking, the fact that if there were multiple instances of one app you had to click and then click again to choose it from the menu was difficult, and I only want to see the ones on my current desktop (come on, isn't that what multiple desktops are for?).
Also, I was annoyed by the fact that it required compositing.
In the end, I think that a good, easy to navigate apps menu, plus this application (written by me!), plus a taskbar showing open windows on the current desktop is much better.
It IS the default Ubuntu 10.10 Ambiance theme and default background. It has been darkened a little bit because I enabled the Compiz "Transparent Cube" plugin (if you look closely at the top left/right, you can see the transparent cube in the background).
it was easy and I dont even know how to use it?
I just found a cool wallpaper
found a ARCH icon that was blueish,
went to this site to make the "buildit!" logo http://cooltext.com/
I opened the arch 128x128 icon with gimp
inverted the color
saved it
opened the original wallpaper
used tools/rectangle selection to make a rectangular box
opened the cool text logo I made
did tools/rectangle-select around it
right-clicked on it and chose "copy"
back at orig wallpaper I right-clicked in previous selected rectangle area and did "paste"
opened the arch icon again and did same thing as above
