Backlight 2.0 is utilities software developed by FreshlySqueezed Software.
BackLight provides a menu extra (really an NSStatusItem, which are fully supported in Jaguar) that allows you to turn your screensaver on and off as your desktop background.
Backlight can also change your screensaver and open the preferences.

Having your screensaver on your desktop is quite a cool effect, but you should probably have a Quartz Extreme-capable machine if you want to handle the load.

What's New:

  • Added Panther and Expose support
  • Fixed compatibility issue with Konfabulator
  • Added option to set the window's transparency
  • Apple's Screen Effects Engine no longer used.
    This utilities software is freeware, which means you can download and use Backlight 2.0 absolutely free. There's no need to buy the product. Backlight 2.0 supports english interface languages and works with Mac OS X.

    Downloading Backlight 2.0 will take several seconds if you use fast ADSL connection.
