Via the API functions GetDesktopWindow and GetDCEx, you can repaint or play video on
the windows desktop (newer versions of VLC can do this on Windows XP).

An Osmos desktop would be brilliant, especially for developers and scientists - I often run
Osmos and leave an ambient or random level on when I need to think through any physics
or program designs. Its basically a nerdy aquarium!

Ooh, I'd love to see a live desktop option in Osmos! I'd inevitably end up wanting to click and interact with it, though, so it'd be nice if it still captured mouse and key messages when not focused, and had some kind of hotkey that let you swap on the fly to regular fullscreen without all those pesky icons in the way.
