I run the screensavers on a Windows ME virtual machine, and capture the screen using OBS. Or maybe some other, but as an early Mac user myself these all bring back memories for me.

The dog interacts with them and digs holes into the wallpaper, drags windows and moves items around on the screen. ![]() The desktop in this case is Windows ME, it uses the real desktop with what ever files and folders may be on it at the time.
