Cool stuff with X: xwinwrap

Wednesday, February 14, 2007

Xwinwrap is an awesome little application that allows xgl (works with AIGLX too!) users to replace their desktop background with a movie or screen saver! You can install the application through synaptic. All you need is xwinwrap + xscreensaver! Commands to get it to run (with the MatrixGL screensaver):

xwinwrap -ni -argb -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glmatrix -window-id WID -delay 10000
Check out the vid!



As usual: AMD Athlon 3700+ @ 2.76Ghz, 1.5gig DDR400 RAM, GeForce 6200 128MB ; Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 latest nVidia drivers

commented by Blogger Unknown, 7:10 PM  
LOL... fraps is a windows gaming benchmark/ capture utility. I use the vidcap plugin for beryl. If not that, then xvidcap.
