This looks like a lot of FUN - Nice one A-EON.

This sounds similar to one of the extras you got if you were fool enough to buy the extortionate Ultimate Edition of Windows Vista. Perhaps not coincidentally this was the first version of Windows to support Compositing. Oddly they never included it in later versions of Windows.

Back to CANDI: I'd be interested to know if it supports arbitrary animation files (or only built-in ones), and if so then what animation formats it supports, how long the videos can be, whether it supports scaling of videos (larger & smaller), whether the videos are cached in RAM or continuously streamed from disk, etc.

ChrisH, What matters most to me, does it have a xmas theme? ;-)

I have it installed. It is very nice

now c'mon WHO doesn't like CANDI

Me!!!

I'm not the dev, so the following is "reverse engineered" from observations while testing for the AmiWest demo.

Each Candi program has it's own backdrop.
The animation is dynamically created from a number of sprites. Depending on which version these either animate in place or drift arround the workbench window / screen at randon.
All data is builtin.

I remember a similar feature in workbench 3.5.. it has animated bg without compositing..
