Windows DreamScene Options

[impala454]

went back to vista 64 today, noticed one of the "ultimate extra" features is in there now, called DreamScene. Very cool. It's not really much more than a video that shows on your background, but the ones it comes with are pretty sweet, here's a SS:



it's hard to really see whats its doing in a ss, but it's continuously moving. there's another one with a moving stream and a few others. doesn't seem to degrade performance at all, even while running other videos.

and before anyone starts, yes i'm sure linux/mac/other have had something like this since like 1972. i just thought it was pretty neat. gives a bad ass feel to the system. like it's alive or somethin.

just another lil side note, looks like there's x64 drivers for all my stuff now, so the thing is spinnin like a top. if there's any software someone wants to know works or not let me know and maybe i can try it for you.

weird... never knew about that. guess i'm just old school with winamp and pretty much just use it to listen to music. although I have used the visualizations in winamp on the MCE comp at parties before (the tripex one was f'n sweet lookin on a 51" big screen at 1920x1080 res).

funny thing is that the overlay thing has actually been in winamp since 2.xx.

the overlay for video (and video period) is new. I only use winamp for music as well, VLC for any kind of movies.
