Yes, I think the right side is still the proper placement because of
desktop icon positioning.
Some thoughts I had, although I'm not sure to what extent these agree
with the critiques already received:
* I'd definitely like to see quite a bit of blur on the swirls. Right
now the swirls really attract my eyes away from where I want to put
them on the desktop, especially when I'm locating icons. The
transition from the pattern-based background to the swirl seems very
abrupt and less like natural lighting or smoke.
* The tail ends of the swirls near the top and bottom right similarly
seem to abruptly stop. I think that the intent is that these are
"covered up" by other swirls, but the contrast between them may
change the way the design's perceived -- at least it does for me.
