Animated Desktop on OS-X?

[Filip Vandueren]

Any screensaver can be turned into a desktop background using a little hack:

you can create your own screensavers from quicktime-movies by using the Quartz Composer application that is installed when you also install the “Developer Tools” shipped with os X, read it’s manual/documentation for info on how to do this.
Or do a google to find some apps that turn Quicktimes into screensavers

Anyways, Quartz Composer is a neat little app to waste some rainy sunday afternoons on…
You could create entire animtions within that app alone, it has a nodal interface (kind of but nothing like Shake) 😉
