which is free.
Try them both and then decide for yourself if xBack runs any better than Backlight.

? Secondly, I didn't start buying Mac's so I can be reminded why the hell I stopped using DOS boxes and WinClones.
I HATE COMMAND LINES
• For all of you nix-perts that love spouting off about how a TERMINAL equivalent can easily accomplish the same thing with a few lines of a commands, I have ONE thing to say.
• Get off your asses and write up a GUI front-end for the handicapped folks using Mac's and people like me that hate command lines!
And don't forget folks one of the many great features of the Mac's are it's graphics capablities & elegant GUI driven OS. Let's not waste it with lame excuses like Terminal not to exploit it!
Needed to be repeated obviously for yet another Terminal junkie.
Developer: please go back to the drawing board and come back with a menu bar ICON (preferably b&w like Apple's).
SC
If you go there, they can show you how to make your own menubar icons (or colorize, in this case).

This app wants to install something behind the back of the user. I despise software that does so!

I notified xBack's developer about this issue a while back but so far no fix. Maybe in xBack's next version, hmm? One can hope.
Wallsaver runs Electric Sheep without problems, though, so a fix should be quite feasible. Otherwise, xBack works quite well....been using it for several years.

No way to control the program without it!
