He's adorable! Every time I move the cursor, it pulls him upside down by his left foot tho'. He's snoring right now LOL

 

[GuitaristZ]

haha yeah its pretty sick. And if you press H, he shoots out a huge ball of FIRE!!! lol


anyway, the only thing I dislike is the annoyiing snoring sound he makes when he falls asleep. But, other than that, I really like it.

here is another really really cool one I use every Christmas as a background, because it has some nice music too:

http://www.unwrong.com/projects/snowglobe/dswmedia/snowglobe.html

do the same procedure as with the Elf, but use the above link. Also, uncheck the box for the elf ("send an elf") under the "web" tab, so that both the elf and snowglobe are not on at the same time. Have fun!

You can basically use any web page, flash game, anything really. Lots of fun to mess around with. Sure beats a plain old picture desktop.

 

[GuitaristZ]

oh beware, the snowglobe eats processor power and ram.

Even if you choose not to use it as a desktop, at least go to the link and play with it. You can shake it up, and then zoom in real close to see a village. If only there were people walking around inside, that would complete it

Heres a pic of the globe in action...zoomed in after shaking it up a bit

w00t w00t the power of dual core
