.mov as a Desktop?

I just downloaded it and ran it! It's awesome! Kind of nice to have a movie going when I'm doing other stuff. I do have one complaint: there's no playlist feature. If you want to play several movies in succession, you have to put them all in a single folder. Other than that, it rocks!
 
oh sweet!!! MontanaMacster, thanks for posting that link! 😀 those guys also make heaps of other cool stuff for me to spend my time with!! 😀 i've hit the jackpot now...!

macboy88, i assume you know you can set a screensaver as your wallpaper, don't you? that's cool as well if you've into the whole moving desktop thing. 🙂 just do a search here, should be heaps of info about it. 😉
 
From the terminal:

nice +20 /System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background &

Or you have to get one of the apps. Just look at VersionTracker.
 
I've been using it some this morning, and it turns out the thing is a CPU monster. If you're going to be running a lot of applications without much RAM, look out. It was okay with just Word, iChat, and Mail open.

I have it set on my folder of music videos. Nothing like watching Missy Elliot "Get Hur Freak On" in the middle of an Anglo-Saxon Poetry class. 😀

(I had the sound off, so I could enjoy "Beowulf" at the same time)
 
you've got to expect that an app like that will eat your CPU... it is playing a movie after all.

i was just thinking how good it would be to pull a prank on someone with having a movie as their desktop. you could take a screenshot of their desktop, then make that as the start of the movie... then as they are working away they see heaps of funny stuff happen. 😀 the possibilities are limitless!! 😀
