VideoRipper Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 You don't actually need any software for this one Just create an HTML-document with the following code:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"><html><head></head><body><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="BBC1.swf" width="1280" height="1024"><param name="movie" value="BBC1.swf"><param name="WMode" value="Transparent"></object></body></html>Don't forget to alter the settings "width" and "height" to your screen-resolution and the filename of the SWF; in my example I've used the "BBC1.swf"-clock, whichI found on this site (and they have a few more of them) Make sure you put both the HTML- as the Flash-file into some folder and go toyour desktop-settings (right-click on your desktop and choose "Properties" orthe "Display"-settings in your configuration-panel).Press the "Browse"-button on the "Desktop"-tab and select the HTML-file.You now have a working clock (You might actually have to tweak the settings in the HTML a bit to let the clockfit nicely on your desktop).Greetz,Peter.

Tripredacus Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 They took out that option in Windows 7, but made up for it with DreamScene (sic) and Gadgets, I guess. But I'd rather have Active Desktop back. I used to just have a Megaman animated GIF on my taskbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VideoRipper Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Hmmm, that's what Tripredacus already said...But since you didn't state the used OS (and I'm not very familiar with W7)I gave you the solution I know about. Maybe someone else can recommend another solution? Greetz,Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
