Desktopia 1.0

I'm looking for an app that will allow me to change the desktop wallpaper everytime I open a program. For example, when I open Safari, I want the wallpaper to change to black, or when mail opens, change to a blurred version of the destop to add emphasis to the current app. Anyone heard of something like this?

7. Wish someone would replicate ol' Expresso (by Berkeley Systems) feature of splashing the monthly calendar on to the desktop.

plus the 'cal' command takes care of that for me.

Is there something like this, or an applescript, that will switch screensavers on some type of schedule? It's purely selfish, but we have one of our xserves that we swing between the occassional looped mac add or pong or pacman or other stuff - we have hundreds, but we just change them on random occassion, an app that did it for us seems simple enough and worth paying for.

Wish someone would replicate ol' Expresso (by Berkeley Systems) feature of splashing the monthly calendar on to the desktop. Three years on, that is the one feature I still miss from OS 9.0.4.

Yes, xSkyDesk is beautiful, and beautifully put together. A most calming environment for working at a desk ten hours a day. I like it together with the Pixie Dust setting of OmniDazzle. (Impress your kids on the Fourth of July!)

I was just thinking about this a few days ago. Why can't I have a sunrise in the morning, and sunset at night? Now I can!

1. & 4. Have you looked at XSkyDesk? It simulates the sky outside (based on your lat & long) in a very realistic manner. You'll get beautiful sunsets and sunrises, along with a real starry night.

Sweet. Now I just need to setup a camera on a tripod on the beach and take a picture every 5 minutes for a day. During the Summer of course! :)

So simple yet brilliant. One of those “why didn’t I think of that?” things.

Yes, but does it do it with nice transitions? Just a simple fade over a minute or so would be clever :)
