Animated Backgrounds For Windows 7

Many Windows users enjoy being able to make use of animated backgrounds on their desktop. Unfortunately, though this function was available in the Vista version or Windows, it is not included with Windows 7.

Windows DreamScene was a feature that allowed users to make use of animated videos and backgrounds for their desktop wallpaper in Vista.
Microsoft chose not to include Windows DreamScene with Windows 7 versions and instead opted to make use of the Desktop Slideshow feature. This is a rotator that changes your desktop image in accordance with the constraints that you set for it when activated.

The good news is that if you want to use animated backgrounds for Windows 7, you can manually add the program into Windows 7 with little effort. This has been tested with all versions of Windows 7 and no errors have been found. This means you can rest assured that once you install this program manually, you will not encounter any technical issues that could render your system unstable.

Follow these simple steps to install Windows DreamScene on your operating system:

• First you must turn on Windows Aero in your version of Windows 7.
• Once Windows Aero has been turned on, you will need to find and download an executable installation file for Windows DreamScene. It is important to
  ensure that you choose the correct version based on whether you system is 32-bit or 64-bit. You can find these executed files by searching for them
  by name using any Search Engine: 32-Bit: Windows7-DreamScene.exe 64-bit: DreamScene_Win7_x64.exe
• Once you have located and downloaded one of these executable files, you will need to open the file and run it on your system. It will automatically
  begin setting up your computer to make use of Windows DreamScene.

How Do I Turn Videos And Animations Into My Desktop Background?

The same way that you would turn a typical image into desktop wallpaper on your computer, you just need to right-click on the video or animated image that you want to set as your wallpaper. You then simply need to select the ‘Set as Desktop Background’ option. However, you must have Windows DreamScene installed in order for this action to work.

Just be sure that if you are using video files that they are short in length. If you attempt to use a full length motion picture as a desktop background wallpaper it could cause your system to slow down or act out of the ordinary. Small looped video clips are the best when using Windows DreamScene to make use of animated backgrounds in Windows 7.
