HOL Ani screensaver

Remember that really cool moving HOL logo in the FS2 techroom? Has anybody tried to make a moving wallpaper out of it?



And yes, you can have moving wallpapers in windows, I just don't know how. I think that it would look really cool.

it's gotta be a Gif image, or Flash...i think..

either way, the performance hit is not with the trouble.

To have a moving wallpaper, it  must be a GIF and activate the Active Desktop in Windows. It should work.

I figured as much, but has anyone tried to turn the techroom ani into a gif? Or does anyone know how?


And as for the performance hit, if it does impact gaming performance then just turn it off when you play games.

That's the point. :)

I was talking about just the HOL logo. :p I thought it was really cool.


Here is another thought, how about turning the HOL logo into a screensaver (the logo ani, of course)? Can that be done for people who dont want a huge drag in their normal system performance.

I think that might end up being more practical. But does anyone know how to do it?
