While working in a design based environment there's always tons of really cool backgrounds on your coworkers desktops. So why not jazz yours up a little by making a dynamic background using your current screen saver?
1. Open 'System Preferences' and select the screen saver you wish to use.
2. Open Terminal (Located in /Applications/Utilities/)
3. Enter in this command and press return: /System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background
4. Enjoy! Remember, the more intense your screen saver, the more memory and CPU it will utilize.
The downside is you'll have to leave the Terminal window up, but you can always minimize that. When you're tired of seeing your background move, simply open the minimized Terminal window and press the Apple key and . at the same time. Enjoy!
