Programmer here, mostly clueless about design.
The program is a tetris wallpaper (it plays in the background) which needs an icon and so far I have this.
I like the setup but overall it seems to be lacking something, any suggestions for improvement?
Just a thought, Maybe you could try to turn the shapes into a pair of letters or something? Right now it doesn't really show that it's a wallpaper. Other than that it looks nice. I'm liking the white stroke to it.

Thanks, conveying that it's a wallpaper is quite tricky. So I chose to convey tetris first and hope this creates interest.
I'm hesitant to add letters because the icon is mostly displayed in a sized down version so text doesn't work that well.
You could try something like this.
Maybe have the tetris blocks spell out the first letter of your programs name.
Try not to make it look like a music visualiser like I have
Add some chaos

Give them texture. Make the texture 3d. Make each one into blocks

I will try this.
Still busy on the main icon, I can't seem to get it right.
In the meantime I made another for the front page, pic related. I like this one better so far.
Should I use this setup for the main icon as well? The blocks are in-game graphics in this case.
I tried a 2D version for the main icon using the in-game graphics. In my opinion it's more colorful and attractive so I will probably use this one after some tweaks.

Here is my take on it.
Maybe you like it as it is, maybe you make it yours

I like the idea of incorporating a monitor into the design

Is this loss?

I don't know.
What do you mean by "loss"?
There's like it's tally nothing wrong with it no one gives a shit about the icon for a desktop gimmick
