Love/Hate!
The Loves:
The concept and some of its supplied videos work extremely well with my desktop gadgets. Between this appliations videos and their competitor, I like the one shown in this screenshot the best. (It kind of looks like blood plasma!
The Hates:
This takes up a lot more CPU cycles than does its competitor, in part because you cannot control the speed of the playing video, which do move at a nice clip.
When you close the application, it puts an awful, gigantic icon in the center of your screen, which is highly illogical, since you quit the application. Please just go away cleanly. No way to remove it, other that going into System Preferences or rebooting with the preferences set to not run on startup. Ugly! Ugly! Ugly!
On Startup, before the application launches, it puts that same ugly icon in the center of your screen. I cannot imagine anyone thinking it is pretty, or better than your selected wallpaper you use when this is not running. To me, it is just a horrible bug. Too many times I have to close this, since it uses so much CPU. I actually purchased the competitors product, but dont like any of the supplied videos more than I like the blood plama video that comes with this one, but you may find them more to your liking.
The description says this is the "fist & only". It may have been the first, but it is no longer the only application that puts HD videos on your desktop. The author continues to propagate that "untruth", hoping you dont discover the other.
I love them both…
I hate them both!
