Using transparency watch films and work.

[Sab]

Using transparency effects in Linux (using Beryl), I have found a wonderful way to enjoy films and porn without cutting in on your productivity.

I simply queued a video and maximized it. Then, I went ahead and opened other programs, and set the transparency as desired. Now, I can work/read/play/etc., while the video plays under my transparent application.

With transparency effects in Mac OS X, and those that will be implemented in Windows Vista, I suspect the same will be possible on any platform.

Here are some example screenshots (won't be up for long due to content).

Games.. AND porn? Geez, the lil woman already complains about my leisure time at the computer! I'm pretty sure I've got enough GPU to play a video over just about anything.. especially if it's streaming off another drive.

Then again.. I dont need another excuse while I'm fragging people online.

NoobOt888: D00d, you suxorz!
Torre82: Sorry, some chick was getting fisted while I was on guard duty.

::wonders if a screenshot would capture the video overlay, as well as the game too::

Haha that is quality. Although probably not very useful as the dstraction would be WAY too much to continue working, but it's a nice little novelty :thumbsup:

I've been doing a little experiment with that. I queued a playlist of all my lesbian porn and have been working for the past week with the player on shuffle.

I just told myself "do not turn this off no matter what." For the first few days, it was completely distracting, but now I'm used to it. Productivity may have increased too. I used to take little 30 minute breaks from my projects to watch a porno or read a book, but now I find myself working even more. Go figure. I'll probably just add the player to my startup items and keep it running indefinately :dunno:

Its really funny with friends over though. Its like they can't read anything on the screen. At first, the girls were a little wierded out, but now they think its really cool.
