do "/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background &" at the command line, then whatever you pick in "screen effects" will run as desktop.

Very nice app...… - Version: 0.1, 9/3/2002 12:22AM PST

I think a good addition would be to have a list of all the screen savers, instead of having to remember and type in the correct name for the one you want...

better than the others because it lets you choose the background instead of just running the saver like Desktop Effects does, and doesn't make you open up the whole system prefs like FackBore. Needs a menu to choose savers from like Saverlab though instead of making you type in the name of the one you want. Keep up the good work!
