Cool Desktop Thing

You probably have seen this, I saw it a while ago, but found no real use for it until now...

go into the terminal and type

Code: [Select]

Looks what happens, cool huh. do a CMD C to kill it if it slows your computer down too much.

You need a fast comp to do this, especially with Open GL screensavers.  Then to make it automatic go to versiontracker and find BackLight, its my favorite.  FackBore is another good one.  If you have backlight make sure to set it up to be lowest priority or else it could slow things down.  I have a screeenshot of how mine looks if you care to see.

That's a pretty spiffy gadget. Lots of little features are hidden in OS X... some of my favorites are the transparent terminal in 10.0 and 10.1, and the multitudes of endlessly tweakable plist files.
