NeXTstop Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi, guys. Can you help me to find Time Machine animation file? I guess it is a .qtz (quartz) file created (maybe) by Quartz Composer and it stay in some "Resource" folder on file system. Let me know your thinking about that.

wisequark Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 They're actually .vert and .frag files stored in the /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder/Contents/Resources/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackerName Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Which software can edit those files? Vortex.png is in there too if someone wants a nice Time Machine background, or want to replace the Time Machine background with some other picture.

G-Force Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Is it possible to make a screensaver of the animation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisequark Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 No, it isn't a quartz file. All the stars are actually individual TIFFs that are distorted by opengl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
