ok 2 things to download...

1. just download this thing for your screen saver preference, it just lets you have a movie play as ur screensaver
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/savehollywood.html

2. then this little app for your dock. it switches ur desktop to ur screensaver... which is a movie cuz of the save hollywood thing u just downloaded or read about...
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/magicdesktopswitch.html

and one tip, to make it a ski movie background, set the movie for the save hollywood player to be a ski movie.. which you bought legally. right.


k, pm if u have questions but it seems pretty simple.
and im running 10.5.8 if that matters to any of u. i think it works for snow but im not sure...

yeah.

My screensaver is ElectricSheep (google it if you dont know what it is) so I set that as my desktop...I think this is really going to hinder the amount of work I get done.
