I should think so. Can't you just embed it as usual with a non-animated gif?

Please don't do this though. Animated gifs get annoying very frequently.

didnt they used to have animated backgrounds back in win98?



Posted by: PlasmaSamurai

Doesn't work in WinXP nor in 98SE

And I don't get annoyed easily

Oh, you mean on your desktop?

It works out of the box for me under XP Home SP1.

I accidently set an animated gif to background and it worked.
