This category is reserved for finds by our Editor Rhiannon Dent.
Items should consist of at least two paragraphs.
The first should be a "teaser" paragraph. This paragraph will be automatically published in our RSS feed. It should state the nature of the find and the benefits without mentioning the product name or providing a product link. For example:
"For months I've been looking for a good way of deleting 'undeletable' files. Finally I've discovered a free utility that does the job reliably and simply."
The second paragraph should at the very least, expand the benefits, name the product and provide a product link. For example:
"Unlocker is a tiny 230KB utility that works with Windows 2000 and XP. Vista users are out of luck. Just right click on the 'undeletable file', select 'Delete with Unlocker' from the context menu and next time you boot the file will be gone for good."
You can have a third paragraph if you wish; indeed as many as you like. However there must at least be a second paragraph after the opening "teaser" paragraph.
This weeks wallpaper is an image of Vestrahorn Mountain in Iceland, viewed across partially frozen water. Viewed from shore, the cracked ice close to shore and open water clearly reflects the mountain dusted in snow. Fog obscures part of mountain shoreline. The earth tones of the mountain reflected in the blue tones of water and blue sky above merge to create a harmonious whole. Icons show up quite well against this background.

This weeks wallpaper isn't the usual autumn leaf background. This weeks image is an autumn vine with layers of leaves ranging from dusky blue to yellows and oranges. This is a great composition, the colors balance nicely and while it's not a bright or busy background, there's enough texture and color to make it interesting.

This weeks wallpaper is an image of a hillside full of evergreens with fog flowing and billowing around the trees. The fog is white at the bottom and shades toward muted early sunrise colors of purple tinged gray and mauve at the top. Some areas of evergreen trees are in sharp definition and contrast with the mistier, less defined dark green trees. Icons show well on this background overall, with a bit less visibility in the lighter areas.
