Python script for animated backgrounds on Windows
After downloading the project:
NOTE: If you encounter performances issues, use less frames and/or increase the shuffle interval. To do this, change 0.15 to the amount of seconds you want in animate.py.
It's essentially an implementation of a background shuffler. The methods in background_shuffler.py simply change the background at a given time interval. By reducing this time interval to <1s, an animated background effect is achieved.

Here are some .gif files that make for good backgrounds. Feel free to add any.
