Matrix Effect

Matrix Effect is a desktop background that allows you to replace the static image wallpaper with the popular falling text effect from the Matrix movie series. All the fans that loved the movie and wanted to have that cool image on their computers can use this animation.

Unfortunately, the APR file provided by the developer can only be set as background image by using the Animated Desktop application. The application is designed to use the Active Desktop feature in order to replace you background with a Flash animation.

Sadly, if you use Windows Vista or 7 you cannot use the applications since this Windows feature is no longer available after the XP version.

The Animated Desktop application can be used for a limited time if you want to test the effect for yourself. If you like and want to use it for free, you can use the SWF file provided by the developer. This requires some web design experience but you can manage to embed the Flash animation in a HTML file and set it as the Active Desktop background.

Overall, this is a good looking replica of the falling characters effect from the Matrix movie. However, it can be time consuming or costly to implement it since you need web design knowledge or another application to use it.
