Desktop background animation in Ubuntu...........

many of us has seen the animation of desktop background in Apple..... but noe it is also possible in ubuntu.............
for this purpose we just need a .xml program..... I am giving it for u......

Code:

<background>
<starttime>    <!--time to start-->
    <year>2010</year>
    <month>01</month>
    <day>01</day>
    <hour>00</hour>
    <minute>00</minute>
    <seconds>00</seconds>
</starttime>
<!--animation will start on 1st january....-->
<static>
    <duration><!--duration of a wallpaper's presence....--></duration>
    <file><!--full path of desired image file.....--></file>
<static>
<trannsition><!--changing pics-->
    <duration><!--time of changing one image to another--></duration>
    <from><!--present pic's full path--></from>
    <to><!--full path of the image ehich i want after change--></to>
</transition>
<!--starting from <static>and set duration and file path... then again change if u want.....-->
</background>



paste it into /usr/share/background....

tarpor lagao moja......
changing background in time 2 time..... and u will not get bored watching same picture time 2 time........

Note:: je pic gula die animation korte chash sei gula re emon place e rakha uchit jekhane boot er sathe sathe access korte pare..(e.g. picture, home, desktop) but jader NTFS drive automount kore tara jekhane iccha seikhane rakhlei hobe..............

what should be the name of the file? What is the transition period?

I think you should give an example code here Dubla

ok amr kora code ta dicchi......... ar je kono nam dilei hobe perpahps ajke dupur e dekhlam je /usr/share/backgrounds e na rekhe onnon jagay o rakha jay...... in this case u have to drag and drop this file on /application/preferrence/apperence/background.......:D:D:D:D:D:D ar amr code ta hoilo eirokom......

    <second>00</second>
  </starttime>
<!-- This animation will start at midnight. -->

ইশ.. কি সুন্দর করে বললো

এটা কেন বললি? ...আর দুঃখিত , তখন বাংলা বাক্য ইংরেজি অক্ষরে লেখার জন্য।

শুনে মজা লেগেছে, তাই বলেছি

considering that it is an excellent tutorial.. with a considerably.... err.... how to put it gently... novice aproach... I decided to give my desktop example here
Extract the file, and then right click on desktop> change desktop background
there, drag and drop the background xml file
