With the edition of Windows Vista, Microsoft has integrated utility DreamScene that enables users to use a video as wallpaper. Unfortunately this utility is missing from Windows 7 and it is not possible by default to play a video in the background of the Bureau, except through VLC which is a rather cumbersome solution in terms of resources.
With the freeware utility Windows 7 DreamScene Activator, you will be able to fill this gap and add to Windows DreamScene 7. You can then use a video format MPG or WMV instead of your screen. Note that the software also works with Windows Vista, you will enjoy your DreamScene whatever edition of Vista. Note that 32 and 64 bit editions are supported.
To illustrate your animated background, you can use your own videos, or pick among small animations adapted to DreamScene and you can download for free on the Internet at some specialized sites.
