Description Okay, so since there was...more interest than I thought in my desktop I decided I'd do a bit of sucking up generous activity.
And put it in a journal to be more organized.

((Okay, to be honest, these are not very hard to make yourself, but for those of you who do not have the time/whatever other hinderances, I'll accept some requests if you like.))

Mobius/Skaia/Kids on a Hill/Stars thing:
Okay, so before we do anything else, if you just want a non-moving, unconfusing, don't need to download gadgets and CPU eating shit, kind of desktop (In other words JUST A WALLPAPER) then go here .
For the rest of you; you will need to download the following:

STEP 1:
System Animator or alternate if the first link does not work
and
Spectrum Analyser or alternate if the first link does not work

STEP 2: And then download one (or more) of these (unzip it and save it somewhere you can find it easily):
The one with the grayness and the ring around it (zodiac symbols are present even in silence) DEMO: I am a demo
The one that only shows Skaia and Prospit/Derse when silent. It is also more transparent in nature. DEMO: I am another demo

STEP 3:  This is that picture of the kids. Put this somewhere you can find it.
STEP 4:
Wallpapers:
Sky and trees. This is the one you want if you are using the abovementioned gadgets, as it is ONLY the sky and trees. I currently only have 1366x768. Everyone point at me and boo :I
(Alternately if you don't want to mess with having to drag the kids around only to have them move around upon login, just use the full wallpaper image with the kids on it (in my gallery, probably how you got here in the first place) instead and skip using the second system animator gadget.

STEP 5:
Either follow my vague, poorly written instructions, or view this video .
If you did not want to view that video, here are the instructions:
-Use wallpaper in a normal fashion, do not put it in a gadget, that will not work
-Right click desktop, click gadgets. Pull 1 Spectrum Analyser and 2 System Animators onto desktop.
-Open folder(s) containing your Mobius folder and image of the kids. Drag them onto the System Animators.
-Hover over the mobius picture so a small menu appears  on the upper right. Click the wrench.
-Set it to 'monitor sound output', put Update Interval at 0.1, and then 'Display: Animation only'.
-Do the last thing with the kids too (unless you want that bar to stay for whatever reason).
-Arrange in a pleasing manner (may vary with screen size).

~New sizes and possibly new styles to come~

note.
(This is with windows 7 I'm not sure about Vista)

If you click the show desktop button and you have the kids all nice and tucked away under the tool bar, it will slid on top stick unless you hit the show desktop button again.
Tiny inconvenience if you open a lot of windows but otherwise it's not too bad.

Hmmm.
I'm not sure if there is a way to fix that, as windows seems to have a bad policy with locking gadgets in place.
The only other solution is for me to upload the kids without the extra bar at the bottom and to NOT tuck it under the bar, but then there is a slight...gap between the taskbar and the hill which looks odd.
Unless maybe I add the hill on it's own to the actual desktop background, that way the kid's picture could just overlap...
This requires some further testing...

Hehe, that's okay.
To be honest, I haven't had long to test them, so I am interested in any issues people might have.

For some reason, the animator won't let me add the kids to it D:
What should I do?
