=== Microsoft Windows === [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] has had several ways of implementing dynamic backgrounds over the years. For example: * [[Active Desktop]], which is included in [[Windows 95|Windows 95 OSR 2.5]] through [[Windows XP]], allows web apps to run as desktop background and deliver live contents. Animation is one of the possibilities. * [[Windows DreamScene]], only included with the [[Windows Vista editions|Ultimate]] edition of [[Windows Vista]], allows videos of any supported format (including animated [[GIF]]s) as wallpapers. * Starting with [[Windows 7]], the OS can cycle through pictures from a folder at regular intervals. While this does not support animated backgrounds, it does enable third-party software (such as [[Wallpaper Engine]]) to fill that gap. This degree of extensibility is unique to Windows.
