So I run BackLight 2.0 which lets me choose any screen saver and make it wallpaper on my desktop. It even works under Tiger. But I fear that you posted here because you run Wintel. So an alternative is to press the "f" key when you're previewing the windows screensaver and make a screen grab of the resulting window, and use that image as desktop wallpaper. Damn but it does make a fine wallpaper

With some fiddling with Active Desktop, you may be able to do some cool stuff with a small library of such screenshots.

Have fun!

PS We like Feldon29 around here because he answers brief and to the point

Reasons people don't watch Star Trek:
60% - It’s for nerds.
39% - The show’s stupid.
01% - My parents were killed by Klingons and it's still too painful.
