If you’re a video lover, then you know that setting up a desktop wallpaper with VLC is a breeze. Just open the program and select the wallpaper you want to use as your desktop background. There are many different options to choose from, so be sure to explore all of them before making your choice. One great option is to choose a colorful image that will brighten up your desktop and make it more inviting. You can also choose an image that’s simple but stylish. If you’re looking for something more creative, then try using an image that has been designed specifically for VLC. There are plenty of these images available online, so just search for them and select the one that best suits your needs. Once you’ve chosen your wallpaper, it’s time to start playing some videos! To do this, simply open VLC and click on the play button. Once the video starts playing, simply drag and drop the video onto your desktop background by using the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard.
Download and install VLC player. You’ll find the download link below. Open VLC and select Tools > Preferences.
On the Preferences windows, select the Video button on the left.
Under Video Settings, select DirectX video output from the Output dropdown list.
Click Save before exiting and then restart VLC.
Next, select a video and begin playing it with VLC. Right-click on the screen, select Video, then DirectX Wallpaper.
You can achieve the same result by selecting Video from the Menu and clicking DirectX Wallpaper.
If you’re using Windows Aero Themes, you may get the warning message below and your theme will switch automatically to a basic theme.
After the Wallpaper is enabled, minimize VLC player and enjoy the show as you work.
When you are ready to switch back to your normal wallpaper, click Video, and then close out of VLC.
Occasionally we had to manually change our wallpaper back to normal. You can do that by right clicking on the desktop and selecting your theme.
Conclusion
This might not make the most productive desktop environment, but it is pretty cool. It’s definitely not the same old boring wallpaper!
