On the subject of the logo location...the desktop images are
specifically aligned for Macintosh computers. I never use Windows
machines unless forced to do so at gunpoint, and I guess the versatility
of my brick scenes have suffered as a result. The scenes are optimized
for Mac desktops, in that they have a 20-pixel offset at the top for a
Mac menubar, and the logo (which I assumed everyone would erase anyway)
isn't blocked on a Mac's desktop. An extreme example of this is Scene
#6, which on a PC would have a 20-pixel high blank area at the top,
while on a Mac the "full-bleed" brick comes right up to the bottom edge
of the menubar. If someone would send me some exact specs regarding
which portion of the PC desktop area is permanently covered by interface
baubles, I'd be happy to double the available downloads and make
PC-specific versions.

The problem with PCs is there's no standard layout - the default for the task
bar is at the bottom, but it can be placed at the top or either side, and often
is. Also there's other clutter like M$ Office shortcut bar, etc, which can also
be placed on any side.
