Wallpapers can be animated? This is like learning my car can count butterflies. I wonder why such a feature exists but also now feel obligated to hook VLC into the wallpaper function so i can play movies underneath all my other work. Can wallpapers have sound?
Now, browsers have themes and wallpapers, so it's customisation all the way down.
This winter, Edge introduced interactive wallpapers. There were little buttons you could press to put a layer of frost on everything, or make snow fall. I couldn't make enough snow fall to obliterate the clickbait MSNBC headlines.
That is the same animation, but it is also triggered if you have chosen a different wallpaper per virtual desktop. It animates the background change when switching desktops, and the animation feels like it lasts around 500ms. I wouldn't mind a quick animation but the default is too slow.

Sounds like the fade-in between images when you choose a folder with files to set one as wallpaper every 5/10/15 minutes
