I have such a program (no, I didn't write it).  It's called FUSE.EXE, and it
runs a QIX-like thing around on the WIN30 wallpaper.  It's interesting, and
although it does eat a few cycles, it's not too terrible.  I don't think
this program uses color-cycling, though.  The only drawback seems to be that
there is no 'OFF' switch; you can't open a dialog box to it, and it doesn't
leave an icon anywhere.

I got it from the SLO-Bytes BBS at (805) 528-3753.
