What could I say... The recent takes in the gears theme is simply
awesome. I am myself torn between

http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/gears-blueswirl-normal2.png and
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h58/mairinduffy/gears-blueswirl_steampunk3c.png

While I think the all-blue one is less distractive and would work better
for a wallpaper, the one with the widget is basically impossible to
ignore. One thing that catches my eye is the colour of the gears in
background (in 3c). Also the distraction created by the complexity of
the wallpaper is IMHO too big (too much of detailed gears, IMHO).

Perhaps try a combination of both (blurry blue gears in background and
the widget in the front) and more de-focusing of the gears in
background?
