I am afraid this is a thumbs down for me. This is set to run with windows start up. When I tell Anvir to delete the startup entry, the wallpapers exits. I can deselect the "start with windows" option in the wallpaper but the next time I start the program, it is again selected. The option to start with windows should be decided by the user not the program. To me this is a good but not great animation. Certainly not something I would want running all of the time.

There's not a lot to say - it does what it says it does. Personally, I love screensaver and desktop animation programs especially with a 3D monitor. People always vote these down like crazy so I may be in the minority but it always feels like Christmas when one of these is the GOTD.

As usual, Desktop Paints has provided us a great looking wallpaper. I believe the "Wall of Fire" was the last one we were offered here. Unfortunately, these are typically met with exceeding amounts of thumb downs, and rants about useless and resource hogging wallpapers. Take it or leave it.

I happen to like having an assortment of eye-candy screensavers and wallpapers in my collection - free from GAOTD, and if system resources are an issue you can just disable it.

Thanks to Desktop Paints, and Giveaway of the Day

My apologies to all those who tried and couldn’t download my wallpapers: I have just been advised by Dropbox that my public links are suspended for generating too much traffic! (I had no idea this could happen…) and I have no alternative solution for the moment.

I love Desktop Paints’ Animated Wallpaper Maker, Animated Screensaver Maker and DP Animation Maker, which I all got here as GOTD (although my DPAM of last week is not fully functional :( ) and I took the license of AWM. I really have fun with these very addictive programs, and I dare Giovanni himself to find an equivalent freeware.

But I don’t find their own production very creative and, IMHO, it doesn’t advertise well for the software it was made with. In any case, it definitely wouldn’t be worth buying one of their readymade wallpapers or screensavers for 8 $ when for 30 $ (full price of each of AWM, ASM and DPAM) you can make as many as you want, and very easily do better, even if like me you have had no artistic education and entered the computer age late in life.

I thought then I might giveaway some of my own attempts. Each zip contains two wallpapers on a common theme. They are on my Dropbox. It is homemade stuff, no risk, they are just heavy because of the mp3 soundtrack included (which of course you can mute). They also all have a clock.

Voilà ! And you can’t lose them, even after a crash !
