    Animated GIFs on Desktop, not wallpaper

    I thank you for your reply, and do appreciate your time, but neither of those allow for what I'm asking for.

    DeskScapes 8 is full wallpaper animation, with many other nifty features, but no animated gifs on the desktop.

    Rainmeter can achieve the effect of what I'm looking for with a combination of .png files and a ini setting file to cycle thru individual photos creating the illusion of a gif on the desktop, but again, no animated gifs on the desktop.

    I'm looking for a way to get animated gifs on the desktop, not wallpaper/background.

    I believe we lost that back at W7. There is a way to enable dream scene, do a quick google search.

    Yep. Windows 7 did not support .GIF as a background option. As I recall it had something to do with "active desktop" Or rather how windows used HTML and internet explorer to run the desktop as a program. Back in the day, Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer were technically the same program. Plug-ins for IE would allow .GIF's to run on your desktop. They did away with that in W7. This was actually my first gripe with W7..... and I STILL have not found a solution.
