Any user of a personal computer will prefer a good animated screensaver to the usual, sometimes already annoying wallpaper. A computer wallpaper is a picture that is on the desktop. The first animated wallpapers were html pages showing snowfall, an aquarium with fish, a waterfall, etc. A big drawback of such wallpapers is the periodic flickering of the picture, and the eyes get tired of the flicker. Such pictures have been replaced by new technologies, which you will learn about after reading this article.

Windows DreamScene software, Stardock DeskScapes
Instructions
Step 1
In fact, each operating system has its own operating system that allows you to bring pictures to life. To be precise, such pictures are not brought to life, but made using special technologies. For Windows Vista Ultimate, there is Windows DreamScene. This program is completely free and can be downloaded from the Microsoft Windows Update website or you can automatically update your operating system. To change the desktop picture to an animated one, it is enough to install this program, and the picture can be installed through the program interface. Also, this program has the ability to put video images on the desktop. The program comes with a small set of animated wallpapers.
Step 2
For other versions of Windows Vista, there is another program called Stardock DeskScapes. The functionality of this program is slightly higher than the previous candidate. It allows you to place on your desktop not only videos, but also high-quality 3D format. There are many themes for this program that can change your desktop beyond recognition. Most of the themes for this program are freely available, so you can easily find the desired picture. The program for Windows Vista users is delivered in two versions:
- free version (only for Windows Vista Ultimate);
- paid version (for all editions of Windows Vista).
