 ericw says: Can you find Clipmarks? yep. southwest of ikarma. now wouldn't it be cool if those were actual links? hmmm... yes definitely would be cool - not an impossible task for someone with a couple of free hours .... accessible from the desktop though? linkable wallpaper? don't think it's possible, but a very cool idea. An image map with links, posted on a webpage/blog, that could then be clipped ... very doable. Actually, since windows 98, you've been able to use/create any web page and use it as your wall paper. It's called Active Desktop. Anyway, yes it would be possible to have it accessible from the desktop. doh! ... forgot all about Active Desktop, been on the mac too much lately. Come to think of it, mac probably has something similar ... anyone know offhand? They must. I can't imagine that msft would have one up on them...  cool! too bad they aren't all clickable buttons -- that would be fun Would be interesting to see who will survive from this giant list..... definitely KuchMuch. hopefully someone will take a snapshot of that and update it over time. f-key saver time -- just use the icon as the button to the link funana, can widgets actually do clickable wallpaper like Active Desktop? It seems simple enough, but I couldn't tell from the documentation. (I'm still on 10.3) Ok, so after a bit of research I found something interesting. There's a way you can make a swf file your desktop wallpaper. Now that just opens up a ton of possibilities. Since Clipmarks (and many other web 2.0 apps) provides RSS feeds, you can stream the desired content to your desktop as well. ScreenTime Media has what's called SWF Desktop. Compatible with PC and Mac. There's a trial version available. I gave it a go. For testing purposes I used your wallpaper and made an image map, got a few of the links going, and ran it. It was a bit pixelated since it stretches to fit any screen, but I was looking to test functionality. Important thing is that it works. You can switch be... funana, can widgets actually do clickable wallpaper like Active Desktop? It seems simple enough, but I couldn't tell from the documentation. (I'm still on 10.3)Hmm. Sorry, but Im a microslave/penguin mixed and dont have a clue. I just remembered the widgets and I thought that it has to be simple as I think that apple uses to make things simple. But no, sorry, no clue. I find the swf desktop very interesting - but hell: I wont use that for me *g Im kinda oldschool with my desktop and my feedreader (I use trillian pro for that) triggers enough I've clipped the chinese version: http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/B61506D9-6EF5-4606-A467-11FEB2FF81DA/ |
