Idea #2154: Dynamic background - and more choices

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #406: Animated Desktop.
Written by justen.wong the 1 Mar 08 at 12:51. Category: Look and Feel. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
How's about a background like Fedora 8 (it changes colour with the time of day!!) and more choices for backgrounds pleeese. I especially love the xfce backgrounds in xubuntu and think that a little creative input could result in miracles, e.g. mouse in the middle of the milky way, mouse as Earth in a solar system series, atlas with mice logos showing numbers of ubuntu users (can replace xfce mouse with ubuntu trisat-orbit of course!). The possibilities are endless!!!

At the least, mpg/avi files should be a choice for the background, similar to Dreamscapes for vista. Preferably we want something more dynamic (but not plausible at this time).

it is already doable for mpg/avi

mplayer -root filename
vlc -root filename


Of course, it is not already integrated into the gnome preferences, but already (or maybe was ...) in KDE

For real 3D background, we should look from compiz :)
