Tony [Gear7] and I once did some. However, these were done by making an HTML page your desktop and then applying flash/Gif animations within the "page" [desktop] hehe.. Kinda cool albeit a smidgen resource heavy for most..

I had a little app once that let me choose screensavers for desktopbackgrounds. Don't remember the name at themoment. But I might be able to dig it up if that's of any interest. Not sure if it works on XP, it was a while ago.

Drempels is a screensaver that will run as background on your desktop. Works on XP.

You know all you have to do is make an animated gif image and set it as the wallpaper and it will work.

Making an animated gif for a wallpaper sounds too easy, but i'll try anything. Any animated wall's i'v seen where HTML's, just didn't know how to put one together. Thank's for the links and suggestion's.
