thanks to @SethStorm666 I am much more mindful of matching backgrounds with icons sets anymore. In fact anytime I change wallpaper I have to find a complementary icon set. I do not "roll my own" like he does but I am more comfortable in my workspace.
not as crisp as the master, but this is not my artistic medium. But I am inspired by it. Desktops: Budgie--are there any others?
