Thats the best implimentation I have seen of that functionality outside of OSX. Speaking of apple where are the OSX screenshots?

Posting a static picture of my OSX desktop would not do it justice... the background wall paper is animated and constantly moving.

Here's my OSX screenshot. It loses something in the shrinkage, though...

Ok... here is my desktop...

Now picture the fish swimming, the bubbles bubbling (with sound) and daylight fading into night... then five minutes later changing to another scene... say moving into a galaxy or walking through a tranquil forest (with the sound of birds singing in the background)... or a beach scene with rolling breakers (with sound).

By the way, it is on a 23 inch Cinema Display in millions of colors... the JPEG above does not do it credit at all... but to save download time (and bandwidth) I had to change the original TIFF file (all 56 MBytes of it) to a 194KByte JPEG. ;^)>

KDE on SimplyMepis 2004, running XMMS, Yahoo Messenger, Mozilla Firefox and MSIE 6. This is a screenshot from my "antique" laptop, 433 Mhz 196 MB RAM and max 800x600 resolution. Everything works slick as a whistle.

Did you find an installer somewhere for windows media player that has all the dll's and stuff needed. Or did you just use Wine with the regular windows media player installer?

I have found that with complex apps Wine doesn't always work well with them. For example, if you go to microsoft's site and download the IE installer and just try to Wine the install, it doesn't work, but there are some special made linux installers out there for some of them.
