    graphic equilizer as desktop

    Hi,

    Does anyone know any software that will turn my desktop background into a simple graphic equilizer?

    Like the mini one on itnues, except this stays as my desktop background?

    thanks

    this would take a LOT of cpu time, as such i'm not aware of anyone having done this.

    It would really take a lot of resources.

    If you just wanted a small portion of your wallpaper doing it then yes it would be easy to tweak winamp to do this.

    i know that on windows vista you can have the desktop as a video playing so i guess this suggests its possible but as Animus said this would drink up some serious resources.

    You can do similar under XP - I think DVBViewer lets one watch tv as a backdrop. Resources aren't huge, I assume as a result of video overlay.

    As Directhex says - You can set Winamp to display its visualization effects on the entire desktop. There is plenty of plugin's to choose from.
    Why dont you get on with Winamp btw?
    Sadly don't have any other suggestions
