Geez, garva;
What kind of computer you take those screenshots?
When I open my details & shadowson Radeon XT - P4 3.0 HT & 2gb ram, my SWG_Client turns to a desktopwallpaper with 1 FPS 
Great Job
I would like to send planetary screenshots with nouber combat or jedipicture in if you like to. Those are not accepted by "Screenshot of the Day"

I run full shadows and full graphic settings (1280*1024)
P4 2.8 HT
1gig DDR400
Audigy 2
BFG 6800 GT
And I get 15-22 FPS in the cities like Theed and Coronet, and 25-30 in player cities and Wilderness walking around. 18-24FPS while on a speeder in wilderness (24-30 on Tat and Lok, less trees and flora).
The key is the 6800GT handles volumetric shadows extremely well since this card was designed around Doom 3 using Volumetric. There is no graphical hit between shadows on or off.

it's no wallpaper, but I've been running around snapping shots and ogling the game with the new draw distance on TC now. I ought to be doing more productive things, but I can still craft while waiting for the suns to come up on tat.

I really like this idea of a new wallpaper every week. Keep it up, guys. This totally gives me a reason to change mine weekly.

I curious too, what kind of specs do the devs computers have?? The game has amazing graphics, that most people can't even see because their PCs are too low. I'm curious what kind of PCs they're using.

I've always liked new wallpapers, and moving them out of the Friday Features makes everyone happy. Now we've got something special for every weekday, too.
Monday = Tiggs' Toon
Tuesday = Tuesday tip
Wednesday = this
Thursday = Home Show
Friday = Friday Feature
Those of you interested in desktops might also be interested in a desktop rotator program. I have one by the name of "Kraxon Desktop Changer" that I found on google. It's nice: switches through all my cool screenshots from various games every few minutes, meaning I get to see all the cool backgrounds posted here. Mac OS X had this feature built-in, I missed it. The rotator I'm using has a few problems, though. Anyone know of a really good one?

I took these on my home computer...
I have a 2.8ghz 800fsb pentium 4
2gigs of 440mhz ram
x800xt Platnium 256
180gig sata drive
I play in 1600x1200 with full everything including shadows, the screenshot was with 8xaa which I do not normally play at simply because I cant tell the difference ingame but it makes a nice difference in the screenshots. (yay for xmas thats when I got the xt video card and its a dream

I like this idea mainly because it means less lame Friday Features.
