Inspired by a feature request in our forums, and because it was interesting to implement, you can now use a 'signature image' of your PC details and username.
Here's an example of mine:
It will set the background icon to the distribution you have selected, cool eh! If no distribution has been selected, it will use the traditional tux icon. Although I need a bigger version of tux which I will sort out soon. I might use the design Cheese made for that one.
It will only work if your PC info is set to public, I've made sure of that for the people who don't want theirs public for whatever reason.
You can find the information for it on the refreshed PC Info page on your User Control Panel.
This is a first attempt, feedback is welcome to help improve it. I am thinking to remove the "64bit" part, since nearly everyone uses that on Linux now for gaming, and the space could probably be better used for the desktop environment.
I've seen a few different signature images over the years and they seem like a popular thing to use on forums in your signatures, so I am happy to give you the chance to use one and show off a bit.
I guess I should allow forum signatures on GOL sometime, do people want forum signatures here? Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Pretty cool stuff.

Nice idea, maybe CPU info instead of architecture ? I would put after colons and use larger margin on the left (as "Manjaro" touches the border).

Funfact: Did you know that 27.5% of Windows users are still using 32bit (according to Unity3D's hwstats)? Linux is at approximately 2.5%, which fits the statistics of this site.
So, IMHO you should remove the "64bit" and maybe replace it with the CPU.

Here is a bit of feed back;
1 Give some padding between the border and the text
2 Use just about any other font
3 add some subtle color, maybe replace the gray background with each distros color
4 place the Distro logo in the lower right corner
for 3 & 4 maybe just use a template image with the logo and color of each distro
