I’m talking about how they got the websites edges to be irregular and show the desktop through. It works in IE and Safari for sure, not sure about Firefox or Netscape.

oops, just noticed it says they used a special quicktime media player to do it. Wonder how hard that was to do? I love the effect.

I may be wrong but It looks as if you could just use the techinque you use in skinning looks simmilar to me although I might be wrong.

ROFL THAT’S SO LEET!

I’m guessing it’s a special scripting in QuickTime… when they made the movie, they added in like… bg=transparent or something like that.
