I'm hoping this will be fairly easy for someone to do. Here is the screensaver running on my dual mon desktop. Would look unreal on an HDTV.

I spent $25 on this gorgeous screensaver, hoping I would be able to use it with my HTPC. I would be willing to pay someone $20 to make a simple screensaver addon that launches C:\Program Files\Dream Aquarium\DreamAquarium.exe

Are you saying that works while there's music playing?
Can you see or enable music info with an external screensaver? Cause I was looking for an aquarium or fireplace music-visualisation, but if that works with the music info on top of it, that would be marvelous. Then it's a 'gotta have'! Can you do that with any other external screensaver? Also on Mac? Mac Mini (Intel Core 2 Duo), OSX (10.7.5), Frodo (12.0), Aeon Nox (4.0) |

Damn, did some research and I think I might have the answer myself: NO
If I understand correctly it starts the program (screensaver in this example) and stops any other application that is running within xbmc... pitty pitty pitty, for a moment there I thaught I had the solution to my problem. So then, is there a way to run two applications at a time? (play music and run the screensaver?)That would solve it again
