I always disable Dashboard. I never if ever use it.

However, when I upgrade to Lion, I'll pull the standard background down.

I was hoping it would change the pattern of dots at the bottom of the screen where the available Dashboard icons are when changing Dashboard settings. Mine didn't seem to change that.

I tried changing the Mission Control background to match my screen background, but that was a little too busy. I need to find a plainer background I think.

The one thing I really want to do is rename the screens - anyone managed to do that yet please?
