There are definitely a few good ones out there. I've been fooled once or twice with Mac-themed Windows screens before. Couldn't tell you where to find them though, I haven't themed Windows in so long. The best solution (though not necessarily easiest) would probably be to make your own though.

Real slick, Alex. Love what you did with the Mission Control background there; I wasn't aware that you were able to change the brushed graphite background to something else.

Thanks. :)

Just go to:

/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/

Look for defaultdesktop.png and make a backup in case you ever want to revert back to the graphite. Replace that image with your own wall, preferably with the same resolution as your screen.

The dashboard and login walls can also be changed this way through different images.

Edit:

Would anyone be interested in joining a Dropbox group for Desktop customization stuff? I feel it would be much better than digging through piles of junk that have accumulated over time in the customization world. Would also help in finding new stuff. Let me know if you'd be interested through PM or reply. :)

A dropbox account is linked to your email account. One can invite you to their folder by adding your email adress to the user list. This way people can share dropbox folders, which is what dropbox is meant for :]

I'd like to join as well. I've done some desktop modding in the past but I'm kindof stuck now with a setup that I've had for quite a while. Inspiration would be nice :]

The only other thing I would add is that Dropbox lacks any ability to control user read/write permissions for group sharing. As such, only active and responsible members will be able to join the group. I do keep regular backups, but using them would just be annoying.

Requirements
- Dropbox account
- A Dropbox (local) directory with at least 1-2GB of space

.Ex and Zanti (and anyone else interested), send me your Dropbox emails and I'll add you to the group.

work in progress of my litestep theme. Used my mod of LYRA as a basis. Debating on making the taskbar longer. Still don't have an idea of what I'm going to do with the time and system icons.
