DeskScapes
One of the newest features offered by Windows Vista is the possibility of having animated wallpaper. Obviously it isn't a feature that is going to sell millions of copies of the operating system but it's a nice little touch all the same.
DeskScapes is a program that not only makes your animated wallpaper "dynamic," it enables you to better manage animated backgrounds and wallpaper you have saved on your computer. All you have to do is open DeskScapes and choose the video clip (in .mpeg or .wav format) to use as a background. In just a few seconds, DeskScapes gets to work. It also allows you to change your backgrounds in just a click. The program obviously supports files that are in .dream format, which are those animated backgrounds meant to work on Windows Vista.
DeskScapes has some really interesting features for laptop users. When the battery is low, the program reduces the quality of the background in order to save energy.
While it's a great little program, unfortunately, it's not available free to all. DeskScapes works exclusively on Windows Vista Ultimate with DreamScene Ultimate Extra (a free program you can find in Windows Update) installed.
