I was taking screen-shots of Chart for some quick background
images, preparing my box for an upcoming demo, when I hit upon a neat
way to impress your friends.
I spend a lot of time simply editing files and running Terminals in
different workspaces, nothing really compute intensive. So, as a
makeshift screen-saver, I run Chart full screen, full blast, 100% stars,
in one workspace and switch to it whenever I leave the machine. Thanks
to BeOS's emphasis on responsiveness, I often forget that I left it
running after I switch back, even though it's taking up about 100% CPU.
I love Chart, you see.
So, as I was putting Chart-shots on the other workspaces, it hit me:
since I don't really mess with the icons on the desktop when
Terminalling or StyledEditing, why not move a couple of these apps to
the Chart workspace, push Chart to the back, and get the overall effect
of an animated desktop image?
Just eye-candy, but boy is it fun.
