None StarDock created dynamic "Dreams"

isn't it possible for users to make dynamic "Dreams"

April 6, 2011 2:57:11 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Hi

I can see that there is an option for dynamic content in the dream maker

if it's not possible for the useres, it would be awesome if you stardock guys would make a background that reacted to the computer temperature, and load

i was thinking something along the way of a ring of fire where the color shows the temperature and the length of the flames shows the load of the different parts of the computer

I think we should probably release the SDK.

i belive VLC has this option.

BUT i don't see why it shouldn't be possible to make a dream that does this, it's a dll file you make to work the background, so you just need to monitor you sound output

audio bars would be the easiest to make, because they just display the current output, though the more advanced you will proberbly need something with arrays, some filters and stuff

my concept sketch also includes 2 audio equalizers
