I explained what it was, and if you don't have the expertise to use Google with over 4000 posts you've got other problems.

Anyone can google dude, that's not the point. The point is you left out some details for those of us not in the know.

if you just told him to google it...
my question to you, why don't you just google your question?

what's the plug in that you can activate to play as desktop background and have icons on the display functional also?

Milkdrop is still the bomb visualization. For what? 4-5 years now? Nothing else really comes close. I can't believe people here don't know what it is. OMG teh intarweb!

I like that they improved the desktop mode to it :)

Milkdrop ftw.

EDIT: too bad when I reformatted I forgot to backup my folder with the visualizations I liked in it :(

your post should be entirely self-contained; that is, i shouldn't have to bust out external search resources in order to figure out what the fuck it is you're talking about.

Get used to dissapointment.

As far as why there hasn't been a better one since 2001, there really is no answer. It is a great idea, and hopefully since it just went open source in May 2005, hopefully someone will improve upon it.

I still occasionally sit and watch the thing to my favorite music. Play it along with New Age stuff and nature sounds and it can be almost hypnotic.
