If you want a minimalist desktop, whether you’re a messy user or not, we’ve gathered 25 of our favorites from around the web. So I’ve settled on using minimally styled wallpapers that make my icons more visible and easier to locate. With a busy background, it can be a tad frustrating to locate specific icons and thus it can be a waste of time. Why is that a problem? For me, I’m the type of user who likes to save a lot of documents I’m currently working on my desktop. The only drawback I’ve run into with using those specific backgrounds is they can be a bit busy. The stock wallpapers that come preinstalled on your Windows PC or Mac are pretty gorgeous.
