Heavy OpenGL animations like lattice and sky tentacles and others may over take your desktop and require a reboot, (This is subject to your GPU) Works well with the lower end xscreensavers works best with movie animations, movie animations must run at 100% transparency(default)you wont have access to desktop icons, If you run screensavers, set desktop background to black (for best results)you may set transparency to 85 to 95% to have pass trough access to desktop icons.To stop Ultimate Animated, Right click on desktop>scripts>Ultimate Animated, Animation will stop, These are basic instructions, you are free to experiment!
I have included 2 movie animations, (movie animations cant be snapshot?)
copy and past (or place) the movie animation you wish to use in your home folder, not in a sub folder
more "movie"animations" can be found here.
