Swirly Pictures Desktop Thing

[tekt5]

I was visiting my cousin at his dorm and he had this really cool looking desktop.

what it was was it took a picture and basically just swirled it all over the place in real-time on the desktop (as a wall paper).

I was just wondering if anyone knows how to do this?

If not I can always ask my cousin when he comes home in a few weeks.

But it'd be helpful if someone here knew what I was talking about and could give me a link or something. Thanks

Well, you can overlay output from programs such as winamp AVS/Milkdrop or your TV card, etc. just by having your desktop set to the overlay color.

Wasn't it one of the Windows screensavers. I remember one of them warped the desktop in a similar way. It must have been with ME though because I can't see it in XP. :huh:

I saw that years ago on a mad magic program. They called it the Whirlytron!
