Set Animated Wallpapers as Your Windows Desktop Background with DreamScene

2012-02-11T13:59:00.002+05:30

Here's an awesome trick for you guys. Let's learn how to set animated wallpapers as your Windows 7 background. This may work in Windows Vista as well. You better give it a try and leave us a comment below this post. ;) Okay, Let's get started.

First of all you need to install a small application called DreamScene. Click here to download it. It's just a 1.75 MB file. Once downloaded install it.

Open DreamScene and click the Install DreamScene button as in the screenshot below.

After Installation go to their DreamScene gallery to download some animated wallpapers. You can create your own wallpapers by creating a video in WMA or MPEG format.

You can find some more animated wallpapers at Dreamscene.org. Some of their wallpapers cannot be downloaded directly from their website due to some errors. So, you can go to their YouTube channel and download the videos from there. But remember to covert the video to WMA or MPEG format using a video converter (ex: Any Video Converter).

Once you have the wallpaper you like, right click on that video file you downloaded or created and select "Set as Desktop Background" from the context menu. And your animated wallpaper (video) will be played on your desktop background. You can always set a normal image as your desktop background to disable this animated background.

Here's a small video tutorial and and a demo of the application.

That's it then. Hope to see you guys with a new post.

Like this post, share this trick with your friends. If you have any questions or comments leave them in the comment section below. :)

Now Chat Using Any Smiley, Emoticon, Icon You Want on Facebook

2011-12-27T17:15:00.003+05:30

There are many softwares, applications and plugins which you can install to send cool emoticons and smileys to others on facebook chat. But some of you don't know that the friend you are sending this emoticons to also need to have the same application installed on their computer. If not they will only see different codes, not the emoticon you sent.

To solve this issue, Facebook has recently given the users a new feature where you can create your own emoticon. Simply, now you can send any emoticon you want and the friends you send them to can see them as emoticons as well, not as codes. These emoticons use tiny sized thumbnails of facebook pages or profiles.

Here's how you do it. First, search for a page or profile which has the perfect thumbnail to be used as an emoticon. Copy the username or the facebook ID of that page/profile from their link and paste it between 2 opening square brackets and 2 closing square brackets. Here are some examples.

Example 1

If it's a page or profile with a username,

Link: http://www.facebook.com/facebook

Code you need to type: [[facebook]]

Example 2

If it's a profile without a username,

Link: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001127458874

Code you need to type: [[100001127458874]]

Example 3

If it's a page without a username,

Link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Example/107703955970072

Code you need to type: [[107703955970072]]

Note: If you still don't have a username, GET IT NOW.

Plz Comment, Like, Share. :)

Do a Barrel Roll - another Google easter egg

2011-11-04T21:59:00.001+05:30

Here's something interesting. Stop whatever you are doing and and go to the Google homepage. Type in the words "Do a barrel" in the search box and Google will surprise you. Your Google search engine results page will itself do "a barrel roll" before presenting you with the results.

This gag is the latest in a long line of Google easter eggs. Reportedly, the inspiration behind this is from Nintendo's Star Fox, a video game series, in which a space pilot rabbit named 'Peppy' tells the character Fox McCloud to "do a barrel roll".

"Today's fun query, 'do a barrel roll' was created by a Google software engineer with the primary goal of entertaining users - while showcasing the power of CSS3, a presentation feature of modern browsers. The 'do a barrel roll' query, which causes the search page to spin, will remain in place for a while," said a Google spokesperson.

The expression "do a barrel roll" has also become a top trending topic on Twitter after users discovered the Google trick to make their screen spin.
