QuickTime Tip: Play a Movie on the Desktop

Tips Add comments

I haven’t been able to check this out since I have yet to upgrade to QuickTime Pro for version 7, but here’s how to play a QuickTime movie full screen as desktop wallpaper…

Open a QuickTime movie and hit Command-F to play the movie full screen. Use Expose to show all windows (F9, unless you’ve changed your Expose preferences), then select any other open window or application. The movie will continue playing full screen in the background, behind your applications, dock, and menu bar.
