Funky backgrounds

Ok, I’ve gone on about how cool Drempels is. It gives you a constantly moving desktop with psychedelic patterns. Almost as good, I’ve now discovered how to make any Winamp3 visualisations run on your desktop (ie:underneath the My Computer, recycle bin etc icons). If you have Winamp3 installed – fire it up, play some music then follow these instructions;

Go to Winamp – right click – go to ‘Windows’ -> ‘Visualisation Studio’

When the Vis studio window is open, click on ‘Open Editor’ (in the bottom left hand corner).

Under Settings, click ‘Display’.

Look for ‘Overlay mode’ & ‘Set Desktop to colour’, make sure both boxes are ticked, click ‘default’ button in between them both.

Close the editor window.

Now for the only tricky bit – Resize the AVS(visualisation) window so that it is the about half width and height of the screen and then drag it to just outside the desktop, so it’s out of view but not minimised.

You should now have the coolest pc desktop you’ve ever seen.

If you have any problems with these instructions then let me know & I’ll help you with it.

Enjoy.
