that screensaver i posted, if you use that as a wallpaper it uses next to 0.5% cpu and only 5MB memory!

I'm glad I found this thread. I just set up the VLC background in XP and it's pretty neat! I'm averaging about 4% CPU use with only Firefox and VLC running. Not sure how practical it is but it's pretty neat to show off. Just a note for those of you with dual monitors, it shows the video only on the main monitor and I couldn't get it to switch with anything I tried.

Dreamscene in vista does both.. or should I say all 3...

I have no idea.. on the purchase page they list different prices depending on how many you buy. If you sign up, you get 10 or 15 free or something..

You can do what I did.. open an account, and start posting photos. When people start buying them, just convert your earnings into credits. My username is Cheitan if you are interested in seeing some of my photography. Daje has an accoung there too.

just signed up...no free credits ah well. I filled out the photographer application, guess we'll see what happens
