Yes, I love using my own pictures as wallpapers

I just roll with the stock abstract image mostly. If I'm on my machine, I've got other things to be looking at anyway, and if I'm off it, the screen's off to save power, so I just don't bother.
I did use this for awhile at work because my monitor was on all day. It's a photo of my desk, showing my monitor with a photo of my desk, showing my monitor with a photo of my daughter in a subway with a train going by (motion blurred). I didn't take a screen shot while using it, but picture the image below with a few business type icons, and you have it.
Oh, and of course that was on the same desk, so it goes yet another layer deep in use.
If you're thinking you need a camera to get a picture of the screen with the icons on it...I dont have a shot of it set as my background on my desktop i have to get batteries for the camera. So i'll post a pic of this set as my background. But this is my background with all my icons
Not sure about if you're on a mac or pc, but on a pc just hit the "Print Screen" button while looking at the desktop with icons and it dumps a copy of what you see onto the clipboard. Then, go to your favorite photo editor, create a new document, paste, save as jpg, upload to wherever you post photos from, and you've got it - no batteries for camera needed.
