    Default Desktops

    Does anyone know if a desktop can be made to look like a screensaver, I tired of having a plain desktop. I want one like the Professor guy of pokemon telephone, tv, and random images that move on my desktop

    depending on your OS you can use an animated .gif image as the background and it should play

    I think wsounitepirate895 mentioned about moving different images as screensavers.

    GIFs are too slow and ugly. A better way is to enable Active Desktop and load an .html file containing a flash animation into the background.

    The bad thing is that Active Desktop crashes many times.
