You not have understand at all what picture done in MyAeS! This is absolutly not
a desktop feature, in classical AES this is a desktop feature but this is not
very interesting, because when you work on an other software you lost your
background (example "Interface"), go from this software to the desktop is not
pleasant, and Interface background is not beautifull at all, there is a sort
blincking when changing application, but with this small MyAeS feature this
problem is solve because background saty the same. Soon there will have some
extension of this feature .
Notice that is not the only USER feature (there is even some feature for
developpers because I'm developper!), but you need test to see it! Today I'm
very happy of MyAeS except for the MU_BUTTON support that is quite terrible to
simulate the original TOS! And some software dislike it a lot unfortunatly.

I'm today on hollyday, and I wait bad days to add new features and some
correction to MyAeS! (and probably the change on fly of the windframe compatible
with all application if my idea is good!, and put most of source code in public
domain!)
