Like a wallpaper?

Here is a tutorial (with a very funny sample image name): https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/documentation/DX-sbs-9.asp

Actually I want it to sit on top of what ever wallpaper is already applied.Basically it will add an effect to any wall!

I could make the image huge and tell it to center but I thought 250x250 image tile would be much smaller and then it would work on any res.

OK, no promises

On teh state tab select advanced and set it to tile.  No other changes

Then go to the summary tab adn set the width and height to 1000 each.

Let me know what that does.

Glad I could help.  There might be a better way to script it but I couldn't find any code to steal borrow [ ;) @ RomanDA]. DX scripting is some pretty powerful stuff but the basic config can do some magic shit stuff.

 

Send object to me?

How are you handling icons on Desktop?  What about Fences?

Untested so far

Doesn't look so hot on a very dark desktop . . but that's probably not part of your plan,

I set the activation to none on the Relation tab.  Otherwise I couldn't click on anything.  :)

Looks really cool with the bouncing box dream  :)

 

Nice work!

Hey, that's the way I would've done it. No need to script anything unless you want to get the wallpaper colour value and have the rain image adjust itself automatically. I think that'd be pretty cool. If memory serves correctly there's an object or widget in the gallery that demonstrates how to read pixel values.
