An idea about desktop amusing

Maybe many people have seen the application - OmniDazzle(if you haven't , go to the Apple's official download page and search for it).

There is a special effort which can generate a ripple effect when you click the mouse.
Hmm, if you use the core image filter ,it isn't very difficult to realize it. But there also is a big obstacle - how to manage to get the desktop layer?
If you watch it carefully , you will discover that the ripple is above the desktop icon, and you see the distorted contents of desktop through the ripple, precisely as the dashboard does.


Maybe it will call some private API , but I am really very interested at that. Does anyone know what technology they adopt to grab the desktop to show the core image power?

Thanks for any help. _______________________________________________
