Dashboard Background change... Yes you can!

OK, the kid narrating the instructional YouTube thing (below) is a bit goofy sounding, but he gets the job done.
If you want to bypass Youtube and just do it, go to your system library file and replace the png file pirelli.png at the same resolution as your monitor.
The file is located at HD/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock (open package and get to Resources). You'll find the pirelli.png there. Once you replace it, go to the system prefs and deselect and reselect "show dashboard as a space."
Now when you hit the dashboard key you hide EVERYTHING including the desktop but with the picture of your choice. Pretty sweet mod. I don't do many of those, but this one is too good not to share. Think of it as my early (and only) Christmas present to the inner geek in you, whoever you are.
