Uhm. This is defenitly not SUPER anymore. I am sure you could change your background to whatever you want. Connect the data from any wether program (I use wmweather) and have it manipulate your background with gimp. You take a background and with gimp in a script, you first do a layer of time of day. Next with a layer you do the weathertype and so on. Then you set that as a background. Interesting concept and a lot of fun (and very intensive). With the differnt parameters, you could even create a mandlebrod immage. An other way would be just to connect a webcam. Ain't it crazy that just looking outside is not really an option for the true nerd? houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
