I got bored and remembered the time when I used to like customising my desktop screen on my computers and I've spent the last few hours using the programs in the title to make a nice looking desktop.

How about porting these programs over to maemo, if its possible. It'd turn the 4 home screens in to nothing any mobile phone has ever seen before. Think desktop widget on steroids and a make over to match.

Here are some examples of what can be done on a PC for those who have not heard of these programs.

Now the question is: Is this possible? Maemo has lead to me to believe that anything is possible :D
