Couldn't you play one of the trailers in Full Screen mode and take a screen shot? I don't remember if they just have the glyphs though

Or you could go for the really cool effect and set xirtam itself as your desktop, so you'd have them moving on there. I did that for a while; my cpu hates me now.

How do you save a frame in red pill? Sorry if that is so obvious.

use an app called saverlab. it plays screensavers in a window, or sets them as your desktop. it can also save a frame from a screensaver.

Ok, OK. Here you go. They're only 1024x768, but I don't have a 1600x1200-capable monitor. BUT, they should scale nicely, I would think.

One thing that is interesting: Saverlab saved the glyphs, but not the black background. This isn't a problem if you set them as the desktop picture; the black background will show through. But, if you REALLY want the black background, you'll have to add it yourself. Easiest way in Photoshop is to create a 1024x768 picture with a black background, then add the Red Pill BG as a new layer and save the resulting pic. Sorry I'm too lazy to do this for you, since it works for me...

3.0 MB Disk Image Here

Gzipped disk image with 3 separate & different backgrounds, all at 1024x768.


[Edit]

Just thought of this: Because each of the pics is transparent, you could stack them or stitch them together to make them 1600x1200, rather than have to stretch/scale them. But, again, you'll need to do some work on your own.
