- This is just a little hack I put together as a precursor to (I hope)
- more complicated and interesting modules for BackSpace.app. The end result
- was pretty nice, though, so I figured that someone might want to dump it in
- the old /LocalLibrary/BackSpaceViews directory for some occasional use. I
- think that After Dark on the Mac has a module like this, which is where I got
- the idea. It basically draws zillions of rectangles, rotated in all sorts of
- ways and in all different shades of grey or color, as the case may be (thanks
- to rob@lighthouse.com for sending me the color code), in random sizes, all
- over the screen. It draws solidly black rectangles more frequently than other
- shades of grey, so that the truly paranoid about screen burn-in can rest
- assured that there will be regular large black areas on their screens (at
- least momentarily) when they use this module.
- Boy is PostScript fun.
