How Hard Would It Be To Make A... As A Skin

possible yes, easy well i guess that depends on the person making it. so where to start, first thing i would do (hard part)is record the screensaver as a wmv/xmv.  if you have a fast computer it can be done with one but is much easyer useing 2

Use a program called screencorder, make sure you close any and all programs running, including virus scanners, IM's...everything but the aquarium screensaver and the screencorder. Open up your screensaver settings in one window. switch to screencorder, hit record and then hit "preview" on your screensaver tab and sit back and let it record. then convert it using MS MovieMaker to wmv. I got a 60mb loop going as my UX screensaver. Im sure you can make a smaller loop, drop it into UXArchitect and make a skin out of it.

This should work for any windows screensaver. The 3dPlanes screensavers loop great.

Yes, the aquarium one. I do not have a HD TV, so I made it at 640x480 and it looked perfect. Im sure it will look pixelated in HDTV. Due to the size of the video, I was unable to release it on the skin sites. I made quite a few skins and screensavers and burned them as a compliant xbox dvd, and passes it around to friends. The bad thing is I never got it back.
