Windows Tip: Set A Video As Your Background

In Windows XP and Vista, you can use a free program (www.http://www.dreamrender.com) to play video and movie clips as your desktop background. If you have Vista Ultimate, this can already be done using the DreamScene add on pack.

  1. It worked for me. But it’s really chopy when I used a music video as a wallpaper. Maybe it’s too big? :S. Well I’ll try some dreamscene videos n see how it works. it only lags when i hover over its tray icon…but i hate how the desktop icons are so small! Why can’t they stay the same.
