Anomaly after
Authored by: bluehz on Oct 29, '01 05:33:32AM

I tried this on my iBook 2001 last night and it works pretty good. One note I might add - the size of the image on the desktop is equal to the size of the DVD viewer window before you hide it. Full screen does not seem to be supported, so if you want an almost full desktop image you will have to enlarge the viewer window manually to fill the screen before hiding it.

Also - I noticed something very odd AFTER I tested the technique, then removed the special dekstop pattern and returned to my original desktop pattern (a dark blue). Whenever my screensaver (Plasma Tunnel) kicks in now - only the top-left 1/4of the screensaver is properly displayed, the lower and right 1/4's appear as if you had taken the screensaver and smeared it horiz and verically in a straight line across the screen. Very Odd!!!

I have not had time to try any other screensavers or anything to alleviate the oddity - so if anyone comes up with a solution, I would be greatful.

You can continue to use the DVD as your screen saver by setting the Screen Saver to "Slide Show" and set it to look for slide show pics in a folder with your green dot and it will show the DVD as your screen saver...
