Google Mosaic Wallpaper

Google is everywhere, it is taking control of your every aspect of life slowly, gradually but effectively. Now its time to experience the Google effect on your desktop with this amazing mosaic wallpaper featuring Google Logo.

It was last month when I found the Giant Google Logo Mosaic. Now it was really not appealing to fix only logo right on my desktop, so I simply added some reflexive effect to the original file to made it more appealing.

I hope you guys will like it.

The following skin for WMP11 is not just a skin, but a complete skin pack which will modify the core components of your WMP. Remember, the following Windows 7 skin for WMP 11 will only work on Vista. Don’t try to install it on XP, or you will end up with a messed up WMP like me ;)
