Press [Ctrl] and go to ImageReady > About ImageReady. Now, if you press and hold [Ctrl] again, the mouse pointer changes to a rubber stamp. Click anywhere on the image and a duck appears. You can stamp up to ten ducks. To erase all ducks, press [Ctrl] + [Shift] and click. To ‘shoot’ ducks one by one, press and hold [Alt] + [Shift], aim and click.

ImageReady developers seem to have a soft corner for ducks. This is evident from this hidden trick. First, press and hold [Ctrl] and go to ImageReady > About ImageReady. You see a different About screen, with a code name, for example, Hematite in case of ImageReady CS2. That’s the first one. Wait a few seconds for the second and the credits will start scrolling. Speed them up by pressing [Alt]. At the bottom, you see two big ducks with the line,”Long live the ducks!”
This is one amusing egg in Winamp 5. First play a song with fast beats and heavy bass. Now, switch to the modern skin and resize the main window. Increase its width to make the Beat Analyzer visible to the left ofthe Spectrum Analyzer. Now, hold down [Shift] + [Ctrl] + [Alt] and click the centre of the Beat Analyzer. You’ll see two llamas striking their heads on the ground in tune with each beat........coool :)
Play a song that’s akin to the one described above. Now, ensure that the main window has the focus (its title bar should be brighter than that of other windows) and type ‘NULLSOFT’. However, since pressing [L] opens the File Open dialog, you’ll have to press [Esc] after each [L]. Hence, you end up typing [N] [U] [L] [Esc] [L] [Esc] [S] [O] [F] [T]. This done, you see that the main window goes transparent at each beat and then reverts to being opaque. This Easter egg consumes a lot of system resources. If your system runs slow, type NULLSOFT again to turn it off, or just exit Winamp and restart it.
