Is it a background program or >something? -- Here u go. It's quoted from the Backspace Info: BackSpace is a collection of things to make your screen more interesting and fun. It can set your background color, give you a flying starfield as a backdrop for your normal work, act as a screen saver, and lock your screen to keep others from tampering with your data if you must leave the computer for a bit. I envision BackSpace as a screen saver construction set, a community project that others will extend by writing other neat screen saver modules. My goal is to make our computers look flashy and draw attention, even when they are doing nothing at all. And if I can provide something fun and useful in the process, all the better! If you create an interesting screen saver module and don't mind me distributing it, send it along and I'll include it if it's really cool. Go crazy, huh?
