This is the coolest desktop add-on doo-dad thing ever! Try it out! It makes your background animated with matrix symbols. The coolest part is it will still show your old background through it! You can also change the colors and settings- check it out and download it here. http://zmatrix.sourceforge.net/index.html#Download

Animated backgrounds = MAJOR computer lag

On a positive note it is open source so you should be able to tell if it is trustworthy.

Supprisingly no lag and little resource usage for me:

Albeit depends on your specs and what settings you choose to set the config program at, mines at idle.

This would be a definite download for me, if there was a version for the Mac. Sad

I could always use it on the windows section.

No, it uses practically no resources. I've used it on and off for some time.

Interestingly, you can set it to use any font for the symbols, so a cookie for anyone who recognises the ones in the attacted screeny. (It's a reallly old shot)

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

Jonty are you using Visitor? Or just a really pixelated font?

Vista? No, not back then. 'Twas WindowBlinds, back when I hadn't got bored of the Vista theme (funnily enough, it hadn't been released yet)

Where did i say Vista?

I mean the font, Visitor. It's a pixel based font used on most userbars. I want the cookie so i was seeing if i was right.

I'm confused. Sad
I have no idea what the font on the bar at the bottom was, it was most likely some bitmap font that came with it. The font for the icons is just ClearType'd.

The cookie is for working out the font that's used in the ZMatrix. Razz

See the userbar in my signature? The font used in that is Visitor at 13pt. Did you use that as Zmatrix's scrolling font?

Nevermind...

ZMatrix font?

It seems nobody is going to get it. It's from a TV show.

Maybe this will reveal a little more, I just reinstalled it and loaded the old config back in (yay for backups).

Hint: The clue is in the wallpaper.
