Can you remember eSheep, the lovely desktop sheep?

If you had a lot of them on the desktop... welcome to this page!<br />
This project gives you the possibility to add a pet to your desktop.<br />
With a simple XML file (animations.xml) it is possible to change pet and animations.
Application
This application is not a game, not an utility and not useful :P it simply shows you a pet on the screen. This pet can fall down up to the taskbar and is able to detect windows on your desktop.<br /> In this way, this pet is able to walk, run, etc around your working screen area (also on multiscreens).
