Deamscene in Gusty?

Asked by coljohnhannibalsmith

Is it possible to configure Gutsy to play movie files as Wallpaper; much the same way that "Dreamscene" works in Vista, mayabe even using the same media files?

It would be really cool if I could play my Dreamscene wallpaper in Gusty!;-)

One can "dream" can't they?

Thanks, John

You can use xwinwrap to do this. Do a web search and you'll find many resources with instructions.

Murat,

Thank you for your response. This application does indeed look like it will do what I want; however I've been having some trouble with compiling and installing. "sudo ./configure" would not work; compiling reported errors and install reported finding no target. This seems very strange considering the compile process produced the "xwinwrap" executable and an "xwinwrap.o" file.

I'm running Gutsy AMD64. Perhaps these problems are architecture related. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, John
