This works ...greengeek wrote:I would like my Puppy to have an animated gif as it's desktop wallpaper. Is this possible? If not can anyone suggest a way it could be attempted?
ps: If it isn't possible to have the whole wallpaper as an animated gif I would probably settle for having a portion of the desktop displaying an animated gif if it could be displayed without borders or title bar - eg: I could have a black desktop with an animated gif in the centre.
(Probably the gif portion would be incapable of supporting icons - but I could live with that if theres no other way).
Code: Select all
mplayer -loop 0 -rootwin some-animated.gif
Attached image shows giffy.gif (a largish animated gif I downloaded) with that mplayer command running and with pcmanfm --desktop (i.e. rox pin) off.
