Okay, I have a small problem. I was fiddling around with Beryl the other day on my brand new Sabayon install, and found those Snow effects and what not. I thought "Meh...big deal"...but then I saw this video where the guy was getting that Matrix code to scroll down...and I KNOW he's doing it through the Snow effect but with different textures. Or something like that...even if that's not how he's doing it, I want to know how to do it!!

Does anyone here know where I can get my hands on textures that are used for the Snow effect in Beryl?? For instance, a while ago, I saw this video on Youtube where the guy had leaves blowing across his desktop and that was pretty awesome too...

KDE-Look.org and Beryl-Theme.org have skydomes and cubecaps only...not much else that can be used...

So point me in the right direction guys!

John White: The blowing leaves effect is an experimental plugin for Beryl (the last time I checked). You have to download it separately and enable it. I think the plugin is called Snow within Beryl Manager under the Plugins Settings. Within the Snow settings you have a dozen or so textures to use but most of them are snowflakes. The YouTube video I embedded at the top of this page shows the Snow plugin using a flower texture and also a leaf texture. I would guess that the creator of this video, BastionPL (see link next to video above), created the leaf texture himself as it wasn't a default texture.

Try playing around in beryl manager, in the snow and rain effects. If it's not there check for extra plugins in beryl wiki, forums or in svn.
