I'm sitting at a job interview 2 days after I took some pills (I thought it was X but I don't even know), and I start tripping. I see the employer's computer screen and the windows start moving, slowly in and out of the frame. It was weird. Aaaaaanyways, I thought it could make for a cool screensaver. Windows slowly moving around, even if they were minimized before, maybe twisting, curling at the corners, or whatever other trippy stuff would be cool. My problem is, I don't know how to pull it off. Could I screenshot the apps somehow, even if they were closed?
Any help would be great, thanks.

It's Science!
You can use Window handles (through WinAPI) to open the minimized window in the background and capture it from there with OpenGL or SDL or what you wish to use to create it.
Man this is the weirdest reason to start developing something..

I think it'd be a tight screensaver :)
How would I get a list of all the applications that use a window?
