Left felt wrong to me anyway, I just > didn't know why... Yes, I think the right side is still the proper placement because of desktop icon positioning. Some thoughts I had, although I'm not sure to what extent these agree with the critiques already received: * I'd definitely like to see quite a bit of blur on the swirls. Right now the swirls really attract my eyes away from where I want to put them on the desktop, especially when I'm locating icons. The transition from the pattern-based background to the swirl seems very abrupt and less like natural lighting or smoke. * The tail ends of the swirls near the top and bottom right similarly seem to abruptly stop. I think that the intent is that these are "covered up" by other swirls, but the contrast between them may change the way the design's perceived -- at least it does for me. -- Paul W.
