Animated wallpaper ? Ummm I guess there's one that digit mentioned few months back. But its more of a desktop screensaver than a wallpaper... Its called Vital Desktop.

When u say "animated wallpaper" what are you referring to ?? GIF Files or Flash Files ??

The animated wallpapers , they are talking about can be animated GIF or SWF files ....
However, I suggest you to try out Vital Desktop atleast once..

If u know flash then it is very nice. Make a animation and then save the file as HTML too and set it as desktop animation...

I hv tried saving a Animated GIF as a Wallpaper and it worked! That was fine day!
I had few wps of Jets. So mixed them together in a single GIF file using UnFreez ( a small s/w to combine various GIF into 1 animated GIF) and then I saved that as a desktop background.
Must say, larger the image file slower ur PC gets. My 1 Ghz celeron cried Uncle after the Image size exceeded 35 MB lol!

Desktop>Right Click>Properties>Desktop Tab>Browse

Select the HTML file, make it ur wallpaper. It will work just like that!
