   Man, wish we had dynamic wallpapers like this, and we could have had it decades ago.

   Why do companies like Apple & Microsoft sterilize themselves so?

      Wallpapers that move would make for poor usability.

         When using my 32 inch screen sometimes I set the wallpaper to a random walk video in YouTube and it works fantastically. I know that it is counter intuitive, but the contrast between real and moving elements and static and almost flat Windows makes for a nice experience. And helps fighting text editing fatigue.

         Of course, ymmv. But give it a try.
