Desktop Effects changes your screensaver into your desktop background, allowing users to enjoy their favorite images or animations as they work.
The Desktop Effects software is an excellent GUI application that adds a new feature for Mac users by allowing them to use their screensaver as their desktop background. This feature is available from OS X 10.2 Jaguar and above. The process is simple as this app provides a user-friendly interface which puts a GUI over the command of the OS.
The GUI utilizes the command: /System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background. It is a free and straightforward application that is perfect for those who want to take advantage of this cool feature.
However, one downside of this software is that it is incompatible with the 10.3 "Panther" version of OS X. In case you're using this one, you're out of luck with Desktop Effects. However, for those running versions of OS X that support this software, it offers a great way to take your screensaver to the next level. Overall, it is a very useful addition for screen savers enthusiasts looking for a seamless, easy-to-use experience.
