hello everyone.
I have an idea:
I hope my application can load a .screensaver bundle, then play it as a desktop background.
No special purpose, Just for fun.
After messing up with lots of documents, I got an application:ScreenSaverEngine.app , with a flag I can show the screensaver customized in the system preference at the desktoplevel.

Can anyone tell me how to solve it? I am afraid we will need some private API .

/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background &
