That's Fedora's default wallpaper. Interesting effect: It consists of 4 different .png files which are blended into each other according to the time of day, an effect achieved using an XML file:

Fedora's 8 default wallpaper rocks indeed. I'm in love with it lol. Even more because of the changings =p

Too bad NetworkManager 0.7 is so ****ed up, had alot of troubles with it in the beginning. But after messing around a day long, I finally discovered NM 0.7 isn't going to work with my situation so I decided to go with no NM. And now everything works without any problems. Well the only problem would be the latest Ati drivers not working with the newest kernel XD Won't post a screenshot just yet, since it's all just default. But I might go work on it later on and post a screenshot eventually.
