The semi-annual GUI design contest, GUI Championships has begun user voting on the best entries for animated wallpapers. Animated wallpapers are
quite a challenge to design properly. A good one should use little CPU, not be distracting, and still look as good as a static wallpaper. This

25.11.2008Windows 7 build 7232 leaks, with new wallpaper
It's that time again, another week and another Windows 7 build leak. They are really starting to flow now leading up to RTM and this time there
are changes to report. Last week we had 7229 leak and this week it's build 7232.winmain.090610-1900 that has wriggled out of Microsoft's
Redmond HQ and is being distributed across the net. The most obvious visual change is that a new default wallpaper has been set and there is no more
betta fish. The new wallpaper is named harmony. Windows 7 is still on track for a July RTM, and it's possible that it may even RTM by the end of
June.

20.05.2008NASA finds lost high resolution film of first moon landing
When NASA put a man on the moon it was a triumph of achievement for the US as it showed its technical capabilities and its dedication to space
exploration. NASA spent years planning for and developing specialized equipment for the mission. One such piece of equipment was a high resolution
video camera that would send back images to Earth. Because of the lack of technology at the time the video feed from the moon actually had to be
compressed and scaled down to work on televisions across the world. After the initial recording of the high resolution stream from the moon the film
went missing after its shipment back to the US.

30.06.2009Windows DreamScene coming soon on Ultimate
Windows Vista Ultimate users
began to receive the first set
of "Ultimate Extras". But
arguably the most anticipated
Ultimate Extra was not there
-- Windows DreamScene.
Windows client
director, Jeff Putt has
confirmed that this extra will
not be available in its final
form immediately after launch.
However, a technology preview
may be coming soon for Windows
Vista Ultimate users who want
to give it a try.
Windows DreamScene enables
users to use looping
high-definition video content
(MPEG, WMV) as an animated
wallpaper. Thanks to the new
3D accelerated desktop in
Windows Vista, the animated
wallpaper uses virtually no
CPU (just a little for
decoding the video).
Microsoft demonstrated
Windows DreamScene yesterday
at the launch event which
showed Windows DreamScene
using an animated wallpaper
created by
Stardock
. The wallpaper they showed
will be available exclusively
at Neowin.net's partner site,
WinCustomize
.com, in February.
More information on
public availability for
Windows Vista Ultimate users
is expected soon.

24.04.2007New type of image spam hides in e-mail wallpaper
A new type of image spam found
this week is able to bypass
many filters by presenting a
message as wallpaper within an
e-mail, according to the
vendor Secure Computing.
Image spam uses text
embedded in an image to foil
traditional spam filters that
catch spam by scanning
messages for key words and by
using other text-based
techniques. Normal image spam
is delivered as an attachment
or loaded into an e-mail via a
url, says Paul Henry, vice
president of strategic
accounts for Secure Computing.
But a new type of
image spam Secure Computing
found this week takes
advantage of e-mail
stationery, which consists of
an HTML template. When used
legitimately, the template
might contain a companys logo
and the senders name and
contact information, just like
a piece of letterhead paper. ..

12.09.2006DeskScapes 2.0 Preview Available
Stardock is pleased to announce that the DeskScapes 2.0 preview version is now available. DeskScapes allows users of Windows Vista to have animated
wallpapers on their desktop. It runs the Stardock created .DREAM format which can contain videos as animated wallpapers or dynamically generated
content.
What makes DeskScapes special is that animated wallpapers can be run that use hardly any system resources (obviously
this will depend on what animated wallpaper is chosen). It integrates seamlessly with the Windows Vista desktop background dialog so picking animated
wallpapers is much the same as picking any other desktop wallpaper.

13.03.2008Animated wallpapers no longer just for the Vista elite
Animated
wallpapers have been one of the “Extras” that Microsoft has touted as a selling point for customers of its priciest Windows Vista SKU.
But now Stardock is bringing animated wallpapers to the Vista masses.
Stardock, a Gold Certified Microsoft partner, worked with Microsoft on DreamScene — a desktop-display feature that
allows users to make looped, full-motion video their desktop wallpaper (as opposed to using static images only for background wallpaper). After a
number of delays,
Microsoft finally released DreamScene in September 2007.
Stardock helped to create much of the initial
wallpaper content for DreamScene and then went on to release DeskScapes 1.0 for Vista Ultimate users interested in enhancing DreamScene. With
DeskScapes 2.0, Stardock has decided to make animated wallpapers avaialble to users of Vista Business, Home Premium and Ultimate users. The Standard
edition of the product will be available as a free download; an enhanced version with additional features and “premium” content also will
be availbale for $19.95.
