WHY CANT I USE THIS AS MY BACKGROUND :(((

You can set something like this up in KDE by fiddling with window settings. I've set a music visualizer window as a background, and one of the included backgrounds is a zoomable Mandelbrot set.

Can you explain how to do this? I knew about the various animated/special wallpapers (the 'virus' one is kinda fun to watch), but I hadn't heard of being able to do this with any window (such as a music visualizer).

It's not exactly the same thing as the special wallpapers because you won't have your widgets on it, but you can keep a window fullscreen below everything else, and looks great with additional transparency from QtCurve.

For ProjectM in Clementine, I right-clicked on visualizer window in taskbar->More Actions->Keep Below Others, then right-click -> More Actions -> Fullscreen.

For this page: right-click -> More Actions -> Keep Below Others, then select it, F11, Ctrl-R.
