i am in love with www.wefeelfine.org, and ever since i fell in love with it i've thought it would make a spectacular screensaver, but i can't seem to figure out a feasible way to do so

there are several programs that allow you to use a website as a screensaver but the problem is that once the site is loaded java says something along the lines of "please click on this applet to focus" - which means that nothing displays and the purpose is defeated

does anybody have any ideas of how to get around this? or how i could get some sort of wefeelfine.org screensaver?

the author wishes for the same thing:

Unfortunately, the "please click here to focus" is a property of a java applet and not something we programmed in.
Sorry about that!

Thanks for your quick response!

Is there a way for the code to be modified to remove the "please click
here to focus" part? To where it just automatically goes into the
Movements?

You have wefeelfine_pc.html and I assume wefeelfine_mac.html, it could be
wefeelfine_noclick.html or something like that?
