How to make your screensaver your wallpaper

paste this into terminal

/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background &

Killing PID # or simply quiting the terminal will reset back to regular wallpaper

I wouldn't recommend this method... if your mac is working even a little below par you will find some apps to be laggy and unresponsive... photoshop in particular. Best to get a third party app to do it for you... backlight maybe. Then you can just turn it off when things slooww ddooowwwnnnnn.....zzzzz.
