How much thought do you put into your desktop background? If you’re like me, the answer is “I forget it’s even there.” The desktop is what you see for a few seconds before you open up the programs you actually want to use. And thanks to smartphones and tablets, some people might not even know what a desktop background is!

Using a combination of background image and icon placement, they make their desktop into a tableau. Below, here are 15 people whose desktop backgrounds are truly next-level. (via Bored Panda)
