Wondering if anyone could help me put a html programme i wrote that changes picture every 5 seconds as a background in vista.
I can't find active desktop to do it!
If active desktop is not in vista is there any progrmme that changes wallpapers automtically with a fade transition, like the mac one.

I think the whole idea is to use the sidebar gadgets for this kind of applications. AS for the desktop, there are more stuff coming later.

For months people have been speculating about the existance of Dektop Aurora, Motion Desktop and Active Desktop. Do they really exist, well I can't say, Uncle Bill might send somebody round to break my kneecaps if i say one way or the other.

But I can help you with building your own 'Motion Desktop'... Which build of Vista are you running?

Hey,

How do you do a workaround for an Active Desktop of somekind for Vista?

Thanks!
