here is a guy named Ionel Ghidarcea who already made an animated wallpaper wioth this one you can find it at [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Go8kX3VMdA[/url]
Looks like it's already done, not a big fan of taking someone else's idea and just adding stuff to it, I usually like to try and make it from scratch, I avoid copyright issues that way, but this one is already made as a live wallpaper for kde by the looks of it, That's the system he;s using, if you got kde just hunt it down and install it.
I still am limited in my time and have around 10 projects on the go, If I find time though I have one similar in mind that I want to try some experimenting on, not the same but along the same concept, just different things in it, but hey you can do it, it's all simple css animations by the looks of things and should not be hard to do, there enough themes out there that you should be able to piece it together , the blurs getting brighter and dimmer can be done in my sprite sheet code, move them around in css by percentage or left to right and top and bottom.
anything not moving, you can use opacity and percentage to get that effect (like the water)
the draginfly is a sprite sheet (same sprite code) just change the size I added a tutorial and the code for this under the snippet thread, the movement again in css using left right top and bottom that way it'll move up and down and sideways, if you want it to pivot and spin and stuff try using rotation with degrees as well toss it all into the mix
until you get the desired effect.
Hope it helps you out, the one I'm making won't be out for awhile, I got two games to get out as soon as possible, one has about a months worth of artwork in it so I'll be a bit

your having quite the time there, ya devintart doesn't allow me to upload tars at all, I even tried hiding it in a zip and nope it refused it, so ya just re-compress it and drag it into the login manager html section and it will install no problems, forgot to mention that sorry about that, I just took it folks knew about that but not all do so my apologizes.
Ran in emulator and they also worked, but, got this message in the terminal window: ** Message: console message: file:///home/cfriedman/Downloads/MDM%20HTML5%20Themes/SteampunkFutureCity/js/bootstrap.min.js @6: TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating '$')
Ignore it, it don;t do nothing it's one line in that file usually something like
the function doesn't have a name so it's undefined.
It still works, just looking for a definition when there is none, no biggy.
BTW, this is not a production box for me so I'm happy to attempt breaking or fixing anything else you might need help testing...
I'll probably take you up on that since your using kde by the sounds of it (your using dolphin) so it would be good be to have it tested on a different system, thanks
I'll let you know when I get to the testing phase of this experiment I want to do, plus I have two other ones I want to try.
One will allow users to have a slideshow where they can add the photos themselves (not sure yet how that's going to play out I got to do some experiments with it) so you can have a slideshow of family and friends or whatever, I want to check into resizing images etc so they fit, the next step is can I read a file on the home directory from the login screen? things that make you go hmmm, that way I can add a slideshow add photo link or whatever or they will have to do it manually and put a copy into the theme folder, another is to allow users to change the settings on the theme from the theme itself, via a setting buttons, so colors, images animations etc can all be changed, sort of a multi theme in one, mix and match to make your own from what's available, so it could turn out to be something like 50 various ways you could configure it, the next one will be my experiment with drag and drop with bounce etc so you can move things around and they bounce back with other animations, and lastly one I thought of last night, mazes, make a random maze generator so you can do a little maze before going in if you want to fool around a bit, you won't need to complete it before entering, just a little fun that's all, and maybe a full blown ww2 shoot down the airplanes game, defend your turf against nasty bombing ww2 planes
Ya that one will be on a back burner for awhile.
But yup as mine get more complicated I will need a tester.
I'll tell all testers how to use startx and change the themes through the root directory just in case anything goes wrong, but it looks like that is fixed now and it reverts back to the default one so you don't have to use startx anymore

Any plans / new versions available? I just wish that MDM themes get hosted soon on spices site. I think Clem has plans for it - Spices to have more than cinnamon specific utilities (applets, desklets,etc).
