There seems to be a connection between users who like those effects and other things that annoy most users like animated gifs or a house decorated with blinking Christmas lights.

The default application comes with about 15 desktop effects that range from snow to stars and more unique effects like northern lights, an aquarium or beer.</p><p>The effects take place on part or all of the screen and several additional visual effects can be added to make them more interesting. Three main effects can be added: Water Drops, Pixelate and Inverse.</p><p><span

There are options to apply the effects in screensaver mode or rest mode. Screensaver mode acts like a normal screensaver while rest mode will start the effect after a given time.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2008/12/20/desktop-effects/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
