Tumbleweed screensaver?
Posted: Fri Mar 31, 2006 20:59
Yeah one of my friends Maru discussed the desire for a tumbleweed screensaver. The thing is I've never seen one before, and Google didn't turn up any results. So, I thought I'd request someone to build an EXE that exits on mousemove or keyboard stroke or whatever action, and would make a tumbleweeed go across the screen.
Basically what it would do is make a tumbleweed go across the screen. Or maybe a few. It could put it either on the current screen (by screen capture) or on a background color of choosing. So, all the configurible options would be something like this:
-number of tumbleweeds
-current screen or solid color screen (possibly a custom screen?)
-if set to current screen, whether the tumbleweeds 'eat' the screen like the lines screensaver does
-I thought there was something else...
It doesn't sound too difficult, but it must NOT use much processor power, since it's going to be a screensaver. Whaddya think?
