New Master Skin: Dream Hacker
Tuesday, January 17, 2012 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Master Skinner ChaNinja brings us another cool Master Skin for DeskScapes called Dream Hacker (Gritty) PRO.
“A "Dream Hacker" is someone who can extract information from a person and manipulate them by entering their subconscious mind through their dreams.
The spinning top in the deskscape is an example of a "totem" which is an object used by dream hackers to check if they are within another person's dream or not. In the case of the top, it spins continuously when in the dream state.”
Several options are available for the text and logo, and is great for resolutions up to 2560px. Don’t forget WinCustomize Subscribers get 20% off!

Thanks amitsaran! 
There was no video encoding necessary. Since its a hybrid dream, the background is a still image (PNG) and the spinning top is in NWA format made from a PNG image sequence. So the animated part is only as big as the top+reflection. I prefer this format as its small and takes up very little CPU. Let me know if you need any more info.
