Can somebody enlighten me what an animated background exactly means? Is it like a video/gif running on your background endlessly in a loop? Or does this mean simply a wallpaper slideshow, where the wallpaper changes every X minutes/hours (or possibly based on the daytime, so a different one for the morning/noon/evening/night)? If the latter is correct, am I the only one who sees the term "animated background" as super-confusing here?
I would like to support this qeuestion.
Where I like animated backgroundsa and am looking forward to have them done right in fedora, what kind of animation is in the scope here?
From what I found after a quick search ("gnome animated background"), apparently, it's a video-like effect, but the implementation comprises several static images (e.g., a general background and several smaller parts) and a file defining transitions (e.g., of those parts over that background).
