    ...has been bouncing back and forth across my three monitors for hours now... It's vaguely hypnotic... Bounce... bounce... bounce... bounce... I'm not sure why I wasted five minutes coding it... But it just keeps... bouncing... bounce... bounce... bounce... It's almost exactly as pointless as this thread. :)

    Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

      Years ago I used to have a two inches tall stripper (rendered from a real footage) dancing on the taskbar. Believe me that was distracting! Edit: typo

              Something tells me that wouldn't go over very well at the office... Nah, I just used four lines of XAML to make a red ball... Well... A circle with a gradient fill... But pretend it's a ball. And it's still bouncing... bouncing... bouncing...

                            But... it's so... bouncy... must... watch... ball... bounce... I think I'm going to keep this... Maybe I'll add a couple lines of code and make it change colors too.

                              :thumbsup: Looks cool, but I think that would obstruct too much of the screen. This is just a little 50x50 circle... Ok, technically, it's a borderless window with a transparent background, set to topmost.
