Dynamic Wallpaper?

Hello,

I'm searching for a long time a good animated wallpaper program/tool.
Now I found DeskScapes. It's similar to DreamScene, but with more options.
I like the hybrid and video function. It's easy to understand.
But how can I make dynamic Wallpapers?

I found Animated Wallpaper Maker (desktoppaints) and with that it's easy to make animated Wallpaper, but ~30$ and it generates .exe files, not so good..

Is there any tutorials for dynmaic wallpaper? I found nothing with google.

Sorry for my english

I believe the SDK and basic instructions are in the Effects folder in the DeskScapes 8 directory.

The "Dynamic Content" option is for advanced Dreams (i.e. Desktop Earth, Water Dream. Winter Snow) that require knowledge of C++ programming to create DLL's (Dynamic Linked Library) which control how the Dream is displayed. In the past, dynamic Dreams were only created by Stardock or those authorized. A dynamic Dream is different from a video-based Dream or hybrid Dream, in that programming is used to create objects, and move them on screen. A lot more is possible with dynamic Dreams.

Thank you .

You can download the free SDK (Software Development Kit) from the Stardock DeskScapes download page (www.stardock.com/products/deskscapes/downloads.asp). The SDK includes programming that will aid in the development of dynamic Dreams.

But I can't find the SDK on the download page. Or do I have to purchase it first?
Too bad it's not really user friendly.. I wish it has the same functions like the "Animated Wallpaper Maker" tool.

BTW, I tried to make a "dynamic wallpaper" with the hybrid function (with 1920x1200 pixel animations ), it works, but it require much of CPU resources..
