Set a video as Desktop wallpaper!
Setting a video as your desktop wallpaper is easy.You may think that it is impossible as there is no option for setting a video file as the wallpaper, but now I should tell you that it is possible.A normal image doesn't takes that much memory as a video will take if you set it as your wallpaper, that is why Microsoft never allowed us to do this, because they think that its all about performance not about appearance.
OK so all the ingredients you need are listed below:
1) VLC media player
Yes, that's all.With VLC media player you can set the video, as wallpaper, that is currently being played .VLC thoughts are different from Microsoft.The major difference between them is that they don't charge any money for their products like Microsoft does.It sound pretty good, but it has some defects.
The procedure is as below.
Procedure:
1) First download VLC media player. You can download it from the official website.2) After the download completes, Install VLC media player.
3) Open VLC media player.
4) Go to/Click on Tools, and then Preferences.
5) Click on Video tab, and than click on Output drop down.
6) From Output drop down list, select DirectX (DirectDraw) video output, and than click on Save.
7) Restart(Close and then launch) VLC, Play a video file.
8) While the video is being played click on the Video tab from Menu bar, Click on Set as wallpaper.
OK, now you are done with it.
DEFECTS:
As I mentioned earlier that this technique has some defects, so here they are.1) This technique is not supported by Windows Aero, so as soon as you click on 'Set as Wallpaper' Windows Aero will be disabled and you colour scheme will be automatically set to Windows 7 Basic.Don't worry about it, nothing will go wrong.Windows Aero will start when the video has stopped playing or VLC is closed.
2) The video will not remain your wallpaper for ever, it will be disabled as soon as the Video has stopped playing or VLC is closed.
