My christmas desktop this year i downloaded Deskscapes from stardock and used the winter snow by neil banfield wallpaper dreamscape, it can be configured to add your own wallpaper to it,
here is a terrible quality screen capture using camtasia.
anyone who knows how to make a better job of it please share your ideas.
anyhow the actual deskscape looks amazing and the snow flow looks very realistic
again sorry for the crap quality of the vid
edit, i used the laptop which has a smaller screen and the upload was better.
though still not great

Hi all
Good stuff -- but beware --sometimes using Stardock customisations screws up other Video applications -- it's not stardocks fault intentionally of course. !!
Happy New Year
Cheers

It looked great Julian, and was really Christmassy. I often wish we could have a moving wallpaper, I have some great waterfall and other wallpapers that would look good if they moved, you know like a ripple effect or such. Some of the Bing home page photos have it and it really adds to the effect. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Zoostorm OS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32 bit CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 @ 2400 MHz Motherboard Foxconn 45CMX/45GMX/45CMX-K Memory 2048 MB (2 x 1024 DDR2-SDRAM) Graphics Card Intel Corp 82945G Integrated Graphics Controller Sound Card Onboard Realtek Monitor(s) Displays Hanns.G HH221 22" inches Widescreen Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (UK) Mouse Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse Hard Drives ExcelStor (250GB) Internet Speed Just under 4MB download it's ADSL.

Very nice boohbah
This is the one I put on the desktop every year. A few years ago I used to have a program that put Christmas lights around the screen and you could make them flash, change the color, etc. Wish I could find that...it's on a disk....somewhere... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Hell oh Well OS Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit CPU Intel Core 2 Duo 2.93GHz Memory Not much with my ADHD Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 4350 Monitor(s) Displays I have one...It's bright.
