Flash Desktop

The main reason why a desktop wallpaper can be dull and boring is the fact that it is always static. Windows does not let you place anything but pictures on your desktop, but you can use third party applications to change this rule. With Flash Desktop, you can use Flash animations as your desktop background. The software is straightforward and you will not spend too much time configuring your new desktop.

A 641 KB setup file is all you need to download, if you want to install Flash Desktop. The procedure involves agreeing to the terms and conditions and selecting a destination folder. The software's components will be installed in a few moments and you can run it without making any other settings.

You can preview a loaded Flash animation (.swf) on a Windows XP desktop, in the central region of the interface. The available options allow you to move the animation to a certain area of the screen or stretch it over the entire desktop. You can also select a different background color or picture, which can be quite useful. If an animation's background is a solid color, you may select the same color for your desktop to blend the animation.

There are different ways to export a project. Besides setting it as your desktop wallpaper, you can also set it as your default screensaver or save it as a screensaver file (.scr). The most interesting feature is Flash Desktop's capability of creating an installation file. If you want to share your new desktop and wallpaper with a friend, you just need to create an installation file, which is done fast and without any difficulties.
