INSTRUCTIONS/DOWNLOAD BELOW:
Got a few PMs about this tonight so here are a few of the higher resolution DreamScenes I was able to find. Sadly most out there are much lower res.
In order from simple to overly animated:
Prowler, Black Death, Aqua Ocean Planktonic, 3DFiction #22 (not free), Seven Lights, Hack the Gibson, Crysis (one of dozens).
Wait, what is this DreamScene crap?
An old Vista add-on that allowed .wmv and .mpg files to function as wallpaper. Through a hacked installer, it's been available for Windows 7 for a while. Just google "DreamScapes Windows 7" or try this link HERE: http://www.windows7start.com/tweaks/programs/82-activate-dreamscenes-in-windows-7
TROUBLESHOOTING:
***BE SURE TO INSTALL AS AN ADMINISTRATOR***

POSSIBLE FIX IF YOUR DESKTOP FONTS LOOK STRANGE:
1: Set one of your videos as a desktop background.
2: In Windows Explorer set all hidden files to viewable.
3: Browse to "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows DreamScene"
4: Unhide the file "Img001.jpg"
5: Edit both the files (Paint) "DreamScene.jpg" and "Img001.jpg" and set to a solid black colour but keep dimensions to match your monitors native resolution and save.
6: Set both files and "Read-Only"
7: Right click on Desktop - Personalize - Set Desktop Background then select BOTH of the files shown, Save and Exit.
8: You should now hopefully have Dreamscenes working with no invisible text bug even when selecting new dreamscenes and between restarts.

DISCLAIMER:
Yes it's over the top and will eat processing power (about 10%) but if you have a ton to spare and want to whore out your desktop this is a decent, free option. And yes, it auto-pauses when you enter a full screen application/game. fwiw I will probably never really use it but some may find use.

What a fast start at the top?
cool
Sure thing, I added it to description. If you happen to make a red-ish version let me know. I'd like to see it!
Any chance you have a .WMV version of the Prowler background? I want to try changing the colors but After Effects can't open .MPG files.
Shouldn't be an issue.
Yes. Any video as long as it's converted to .WMV and the resolution looks decent.
what about a 12gb ddr3 intel core i7-2500k oc'd @ 4.3ghz and dual GTX 560ti on SLI? i think so right?
Can you use your own videos
Omg when I saw the hackers themed one and got all excited .......I realized how old I was. :((((
Did you select "Regular Download" and wait the 60 seconds? Seems to work for me. If you still have issues, send me a private message and I'll get you another link. Good luck!
Hey ughh, the linke for the hackers wallpaper doesn't work...
