DeskScapes is one of the best utilities to do that. Aside from a whole library of animated wallpapers you are also getting a software to create your very own “Dreams”.

If you haven’t done it already, you should check out out post: Animated Desktop Wallpapers

Creating dreams is easier than you might think and even for less advanced users it shouldn’t be a problem.All you have to do is to capture a screen and the tool will do the rest.

Anyway, DeskScapes is currently in beta and has a lot of new features.

New Features:

  • Dream effects – Apply effects to .dreams allows you to change the way they look with cool looking filters
  • Hybrid Dream Support – A Hybrid Dream is a new type of .dream that mixes static and animated images, which use significantly less resources
  • DreamMaker with Hybrid Support

The latest beta is going to add support for Windows 7. So, if you want to tweak your desktop a little bit make sure to check out the beta. You can download the beta if you are an active “object desktop” subscribe.

You can get ObjectDesktop here:

Download ObjectDesktop

ObjectDesktop is a package of great utilities like Object Dock, WindowBlinds, DeskScapes and IconPackager.

It’s a tool that allows you to have animated wallpapers on your desktop. A Vista animated background is eating a lot of memory but fortunately only if you are on the desktop. Don’t worry about it unless you have a very old PC.

To setup your own animated background Vista Ultimate requires a format called “.dream”. Should you be using another Windows Vista, then you will have to buy Vista DeskScapes. Unfortunately there is only a paid version available, because Windows DreamScenes was intended to be an exclusive feature of Vista Ultimate, but DeskScapes is worth the small fee of $19.

One of the biggest sources for animated vista backgrounds is http://dreams.wincustomize.com
Island Dog one of their top authors is releasing a short movie of new Windows DreamScenes every month. To get an overview of the last year I have gathered all links and videos which are spread over many pages.

HINT:

If you are downloading a lot of files from WinCustomize then you will probably receive the message that you have to subscribe after a while. If you want to avoid that you can simply start another browser e.g. IE7, Firefox, Opera, Safari etc. or delete your cookies and continue your download spree!

Requirements:

If you do NOT own Vista Ultimate you have to buy DeskScapes in order to setup animated desktop backgrounds. Since it is very cheap I can only recommend to buy DeskScapes here.
