Hey,

I like the idea as images but i doubt that it will fit a desktop
theme.. (liked the neon suggestion more) just imagine if you have a
wallpaper like that.. i would change it ASAP ^_^ This is again a very
nice image for a cd/dvd cover. Also the wallpapers i've seen so far
with this idea kinda let me thing of something old.. ancient.. not
something innovative and new (like fedora).

My suggestion would be to go for the neon theme.
