I placed this picture on my desktop & some time later I had an idea, that it will be nice, when in the middle of the picture, on desktop,on the flame, will scroll the text. So I decided to create application that can do this. Desk Rider was released long time ago after creating. This picture is JPEG compressed, & the flame does not look great here. The picture in the BMP format is placed on the Desk Riders site.
