[quote="Orophin Anwarunya"]yes there is.
it all has to do with the 'active desktop' microsoft inorporated since windows 98 and also windows 95 via Internet explorer 4.
the 'active desktop', use a .htt file (html template) to display any web objects on the desktop. that is why we can use jpeg files as wallpapers now rather than bmp. the htt file could be edited to include extra html commands even tho limited to what you could add.

windows 95, 98 and Me needed manual activation of 'active desktop' and they where abit basic in what they could display, but with windows xp, the sky is the limit (mostly).

now he bad news :-? :
i dont know how to animate the background in xp and i cant really recall where to find the .htt file in window 9x and Me. sorry guys :-? 😮ops:

there was a website that specialized in animated wallpaper themes for windows, but the site had long closed down due to the changes in windows and lack of interest.

the fact of the mater is, microsoft expect you to be interested in the other "exciting" features of xp, thus have made it almost impossible to do such novelties again.

good news (partialy) 😊 :

you could always set an animated gif as wallpaper, but unless you have a powerful computer, expect some slow-downs in performance.

sorry it didnt help but this is what i know. 😊
have a lolipop ====(||) as a consolation. 😃[/quote]

from win98 you can just use Html files as backgrounds instead of jpg or bmp.
I had one with an entire javascript startmenu and stuff in it.

So make a htm with a javascript animation or gif animation or flash animation ... everything that works in html, even a windowsmediaplayer movie

Just tried it again with an old script of mine
Use this html file instead of a jpg and you'll get a matrix wanabee thing.

This thread was very very old (the last post was two years ago). When it was created, All About Symbian's forum was on phpBB.

There was a move from phpBB to vBuletin. No attachments were moved though.

So in general most old threads will not have any attachments even if they had some years ago...
THESE FILES ARE LOST

Hello everyone,

What this thread is all about? animated wallpapers? However, I cannot see any animated wallpapers here?! Anything goes wrong here?
