I meant to do this post awhile ago, but forgot. This tweet of an animated wallpaper reminded me.

Stunning isn’t it. You could download GifPaper and set a gif as your wallpaper, it adds a settings panel to your system settings and lets you choose a gif. Pretty sweet, but it’s horrible. After a few minutes your Mac will probably catch on fire. Just kidding, but it does each up your cpu quick, too quick to be worth it!
So here is another trick. MP4! Yes convert that gif to MP4 then use the app Uebersicht and my script to display the MP4.
Install Uebersicht.
