My idea of a good desktop is minimalism. I have a black screen and what ever my latest piece of digital artwork is, in the center. So when I heard of an animated desktop for Vista…

But you know, if it was done like some of those screensavers that show a nature scene or fishtank, it could be something worth the extra computing load. And then if sound was added to say, some national park scene with a light breeze in the trees and the sounds of birds, then it would turn your office into a picnic table in a national park. Or use a streaming webcam (with sound) via the internet and you could actually have a real time desktop from the Grand Canyon complete with coyotes and rattlesnakes and the occasional rain storm… It could have some interesting potential if people get creative with it. I can remember seeing people at work staring at a new screensaver of a tree with falling leaves.

I think to run the background a user would be best served with a dual core chip and 2G of RAM.

Then it may be worth it.

Thanks for the comments Tim.

Thanks for the comments Tim.

yes, with a dual core 2G ram system it is by far worth it. It looks AWESOME! That’s what i’ve got and while it uses 20-25% CPU, I notice no performance loss because i have another core and more than 1.5G ram still free (It does use 100-200MB of ram)

Hi dude500,

Thanks for the comment. I thought the dual core chips would handle this well. Your comment confirms this. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Does anyone know where I could download the video with the grassy vista wall paper (the grass sways with the breeze) for use with DreamScene.

i dont have dreamscene as an update, neither hold’em poker or bitlocker extra update. my build number is 6000 but it only show 6000 not 6000.1.0.blablabla. des anyone know whats wrong?

p.s. i bought a pirated copy of vista and activated by oem. maybe the oem stuff is the problem idk.

Came across this site http://www.vistahd.org/ giving free dreamscenes.have been visiting the site regularly and they update the site with 2 scenes everyday.but the timings of updates are not fixed. some of the scenes are pretty good.

@mat: you can find the “grass dream” on http://dream.wincustomize.com/ but there are a lot of other free dreamscene sites like http://www.dreamscene.org/ or the ipfreaks site.

Here is a link to some great Dreamscenes all in the MPG format that I uploaded. They include some of the best Dreamscenes, including the ‘premium’ dream, ‘Blissful Sunset’ and the Waterfall Dream that Bill Gates showed off at CES.

Enjoy!
