I've had this idea for a while and I'm wondering if it's possible. I'm looking for a wallpaper that is just black and has this winamp oscillograph(?) thing in the middle.

I'm talking about this, only without the time and the other crap, just the bars

Of course it should look more stylish, bigger and have a better resolution than that picture, but that's basically the idea. Additionally, it would react to music and behave like the winamp thing does.

Is that even possible?
Windows or Linux (ubuntu) are my operating systems.

That would be the sickest wallpaper ever!

I don't know whether it works, but if it does, you're gonna go epileptic.

You could make an html document with an iframe that is linked to another page where that winamp thingy exists.

Only way I can think of.

Well, this is what I've found on the internet, perhaps not suited for what you're looking for:

EDIT: nvm, you wanted animated ones

Actually, that sounds really interesting.

I often leave my windows media player open in full screen when I'm doing homework with the "bars" visualization.

( =(, doesn't look really good here. )

I wouldn't mind having a wallpaper that does that.

Thanks a lot!
It's not what I was looking for, because I wanted just bars and not an oscilloscope, but it's really cool nonetheless.

(looks a lot nicer when the lines are moving)
