Will it work for the other screensavers?

I would like the Aurora!

[azz0r_wugg]

Doesnt work with RTM?

[guruparan]

Doesnt work with RTM?

I dont know...i am still downloading my RTM from connect (Beta tester, got has a gift from Good Microsoft..(Vista bussiness)!!)

And it also works for Aurora...i thing we can start using /p65552 with the screensaver...

If you dont like this..use Alt+F4 to close this...or use Flpi3d to change back to your desktop..

[NitramX9X]

It works in RTM!! Its Coooll!

[Kasandoro]

Yup..works fine! You lose your desktop icons though, and it steals focus from time to time...but it's still cool, none the less.

[Meshuggah]

works, but only on primary monitor, doesnt wortk with dual monitors

This is not new: http://www.istartedsomething.com/20061004/...desktop-aurora/ (October 4th, 2006)

This is not Motion Desktop. This is simply screensavers on the desktop.

[tranceandy]

It's kinda cool though :D See how long the coolness lasts though ;)

[HistoricalNeowin]

It is indeed very cool! like Long said though not motion desktop, as the screensaver is on the taskbar, its just a screensaver that doesnt turn itself off when your mouse moves and its also not in the foreground. I like :D

ssbranded.scr is quite good, but it sure does seem to lag the desktop!

gee no kidding.

@ guruparan Way to knowingly make an inaccurate title just to get attention.

just wait for the real motion desktop, it will look nothing like this.

[Brandon Live Veteran]

Uhh this is nothing new and not new to Vista at all (you can do the same on XP). If there were something called "motion desktop" - this wouldn't be it.

It doesnt work very good on RTM it still hides desktop shortcuts and taskbar, to top it off it keeps a command prompt window icon showing all the time on your taskbar.

[guruparan]

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

THERE IS A MOTION DESKTOP

MS IS WORKING WITH SOME PARTNERS (like startdock etc)

"Something very very cool but unannounced

I thought someone will inform this...but nobody did!

So it will be available for Ultimate users as special downloads..

[guruparan]

Hi all guys check this out...with video & they say no performance decrease!!http://jsbi.blogspot.com/2006/10/make-any-screensaver-as-your-desktop.html

[Techno_Funky]

Hey wow fantastic its working for me on Vista RC2 :D

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Of course it will work with RTM, this is how the desktop control applet does it's previews, it passes the handle of the preview screen as the /p parameter to the screensaver, pass it another handle (e.g. the desktop's) and it will draw there.

And the speed will depend on the screensaver, you can't make a blanket statement that there's no performance decrease as every screensaver is different

[smash505]

Also works on xp. ;)

[SamNeeds]

Neat...I will give it a go later on.

[craybox]

is this a reincarnation of the lavalamp desktop that was in WinG ?

[Tobey]

It worked for some scrs here on xp.. but some of those ported from vista did not.

[Echilon]

Maybe with the right screensaver it would look good, but the ribbons are just annoying :p

[jamend]

It works with any proper screensaver (that supports previews).

Anyways, I think it's pretty cool. And for some hot multi-monitor action, use /p65770 instead of /p65552.

[Gio Takahashi]

Although /p65770 doesn't work. you should try the bubbles screen saver. Though you can't use the desktop, it's still pretty damn amusing to see the bubbles floating around the desktop.

Though the bubbles seem come in, indefinitely. Probably not a good idea anyway.
