google

you could just use an animated gif

I don't know if you can have an animated desktop wallpaper. You might have to get some sort of plug-in or program for windows. But wouldn't the animation drive you mad?

I just tested it and my wallpaper was happyly ing away
Im using Windows XP pro SP1

yes you can... animated gifs come out fine


works for me anyway


not that you'd want to.... it would piss me off so much after 2 seconds

Yep gifs worked fine on desktops when i've used them. on both 98 and XP.

* toddy goes to test

swear it didn't work !!

edit:
yeh it works 

GIFs work fine, although I still don't understand why you'd want an animated wallpaper.

* Concord Dawn switches his wallpaper from the dancing banana.
