Transparent Desktops



The first thing most people would do at the first look of these transparent desktops would be yelling ‘Photoshopped!’. Nope, the technique used in this illusion to make the screen transparent is more basic than what you think. Take a photo of the background and then upload it as the desktop image on your PC. Then position the monitor/desktop to the exact spot where the picture was taken. Check out more transparent desktops with 13 more pics after the jump.
