Have a video wallpaper on you desktop

Feeling boring with the same and static wallpaper on your desktop? Turn your desktop to be more lively with your favorite cool videos.Here's the guide for you.

1. Download & install the latest version of VLC Player here.
2. Open your video file with VLC Player, right-hand click and choose 'wallpaper'.
3. If you didn't see the wallpaper option then proceed to
   Settings > Preferences > Video > Output Modules > Direct X.
   Once you get here, check the Advanced Options box in the bottom right hand corner.
   The advanced options will appear. Check Enable Wallpaper Mode. Now when you right click on your videos, you should be able to see a Wallpaper option.
   
   You obviously do not want to see the player in your taskbar since you will be running it for a long time. To get rid of its appearance in the taskbar:
4. Proceed to Settings > Preferences > Interface > Main Interfaces > wxWidgets
5. Then uncheck the box beside Taskbar
   

   If you want to reach VLC, you can only get there by using Alt+Tab or Vista’s Flip3D. You can also choose to check the box beside systray so a VLC icon appears in your system tray.
   
   

6. Finally, you really wouldn’t want your background to disappear after a couple of seconds so we’d have to loop it. To do so, just click on Playlist in the navigation menu, and a list of settings will be provided.
   
   VLC works on many other operating systems
   

The tutorial didn’t work for you?

Make sure you have the most updated version of everything: VLC, DirectX, and your Video Card Drivers. Most people can’t have the wallpaper displayed because of this.
