Reader Pluginbby is a huge Muse fan, and modeled this week's featured desktop off of the art for one of his favorite albums, The Origin of Symmetry. Now, every time he sits down to work, he has useful data on the left, a reminder of his favorite tunes on the right, and plenty of room to work.


Pluginbby submitted this desktop to our Desktop Showcase, which is how you should submit yours to us as well. Post a screenshot of your desktop to your personal Kinja blog—you know, the one that comes with your commenter account—and in the post describe how you made it so others can follow along! Don't forget to include links to the wallpaper, widgets, geeklets, and skins you used.

Want to make this desktop your own? Here's what you'll need:

That's all it takes! Pluginbby goes into more detail about how he managed to set it all up and how he tweaked it all to fit at his Kinja blog, and if you need more tips, check out our guide to Rainmeter for more suggestions.


If you have a good-looking, functional desktop of your own to show off, share it with us by posting it to your personal Kinja blog using the tag desktop showcase or adding it to our Lifehacker Desktop Show and Tell Flickr pool. Screenshots must be at least at least 640x360 and please include information about what you used, links to your wallpaper, skins, and themes, and any other relevant details. If your awesome desktop catches our eye, you might get featured!
