Ok, you’ve probably figured out that its not a “real” transparent desktop. For one thing, I did not have all the camera angles perfect, so things do not line up exactly. The video cameras I have do not have a wide enough zoom lens. But with a little more time, I’ll get things aligned and post a new video. Still a neat trick”. Link.

For windows users this is a pretty easy hack with Flash. You just make a SWF that resizes to the stage, add a video component and make that URL your active Desktop.
I did it a few years ago, check the second to last ‘experiment.’
