A Look at Transparent Desktops

Posted on February 27, 2007, under Development.

23-1725595501t.jpgTransparent Desktops, or transparent screens are showing up all over the web, and some are a just remarkable. What are transparent desktops? Well like the picture to the left, they are simply pictures of your desktop modified to make it loop like your monitor is transparent sometimes with human interaction involved. So how are these things made? You are in luck, PhoTut has a tutorial you can follow to make your very own transparent desktop. If that isn’t enough, MacMerc.com has another excellent tutorial as well.

If you end up creating a transparent desktop of your own, send it in; I would enjoy taking a  look at it. Maybe sometime, if I have time, I will make one of my three monitor setup.
