Windows Ultimate site
Did a quick search on the forum but didn't see a mention of this yet, and I just stumbled across it...
There is a new site specific for Windows Vista Ultimate:
http://windowsultimate.com/
One of the 3 Ultimate Extras described so far is "Windows DreamScene" which enables the use of .WMV or .MPG files as your desktop background:

You don't post as often as you should Paul, but they are worth waiting for.
Interesting technology, Mac OS has had this sort of feature for a while, but not quite and the Enlightenment E17 never ending development has been trying to get a version of this technology working.
Very interesting that its available for the product already

Cool website, cheers

- me, 2005
1) run "/usr/lib/xscreensaver/glmatrix -root"
2) load gconf-editor and disable /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop
ain't that neat \o/
done the matrix one before, but its hardly a movie file is it.
Still it is cool. I think thats how Mac OS was doing the desktop background effects - by using screen savers (although thats just from memory)
although I imagine the movie file would have to be carefully selected to get get in the way of working.
Still a cool trick with with gl matrix

try "mplayer -wid 0x185 /path/to/video" with nothing cluttering the root window, then
or if 0x185 doesn't work, use xwininfo to get an appropriate id
Stop.. making.. me.. want.. ultimate.. even.. more..
great call Directhex, not tried that before.

you can actually do this already with a lot of off the shelf products, WinDVD has been doing this since 2k to my knowledge!
problem is its a glorious waste of resources!
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
and irritating as hell after 20 seconds
i remeber when active desktop first came out with IE4, i used some javascript too change the colour of the desktop. My 166mhz couldn't take it
At least i had the defense off been like 12.
The site is one to keep an eye on for cool stuff thou

Another pointless feature to drive the life cycle.
To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.
That's OK Mr. Anti-Vista. You don't have to install it.
like the cube in XGL?
It's not a money making exercise Steve B, there's a fundamental difference (as i'm sure you're aware too). It's an utterly pointless aside that 'the many' will umm and ahh about due to microsofts huge marketing weight.
That's rather childish.
