Yes. Pieter Claesz's "Still life with fish" at the moment.

Oh yes, that's easy enough to do. My desktop pictures (I use two screens
at home) rotate through various photos I've taken on trips, changing
every minute. Tallin is on the right monitor, Pula on the left at the
moment. It's not distracting- quite relaxing in fact. The laft monitor
is usually filled with stuff- but the right (laptop) is often empty. Oh,
it's Oxford now....

I downloaded one the other day which makes the screen fill up with
water, and fish start swimming around. The effect of my music scores and
emails being submerged (with bubbling sounds) was amusing for about a
minute, then I ditched it! Riga on the macbook now...

What's happening in 2008 at the Stedelijk? I saw a yahoo widget that had
some more modern art, but it wasn't very interesting, and I do't see the
point of running the yahoo widget manager. It's a simple application-
I'm sure more galleries will get in on it!
