如果您一直在为您的Windows
桌面使用静态壁纸，那么您就是在浪费宝贵的空间，而这些空间本来可以用于娱乐或提高工作效率。
Windows桌面是当您关闭所有窗口或使用不会用完所有桌面空间的较小Windows时最终出现的地方。
那么，为什么不利用漂亮、动画、在许多情况下甚至可以帮助提高工作效率的动态壁纸来利用这个空间呢？
看看这 7 个动态壁纸并尝试一些。一旦您开始使用动态壁纸，您将永远不会再回到静态壁纸。
个性化窗口
“实时桌面”的定义有点模糊。许多提供免费桌面壁纸的网站只提供视频背景或桌面幻灯片应用程序。
如果您已经将该功能直接集成到Windows 10(Windows 10)中，则无需浪费时间安装幻灯片动态壁纸。
要启用幻灯片桌面：
- 右键单击桌面上的任意位置并选择Personalize。
- 将Background(Background)下拉框更改为Slideshow。
- 单击“浏览(Browse)”
按钮以选择包含所有照片的文件夹。
您还可以将幻灯片配置为按设定的时间间隔更改、随机随机播放照片以及如何将它们放置在桌面上。
加载(Load)您的假期照片、美丽的风景或您感兴趣的任何其他图像。使用幻灯片墙纸可确保您永远不会对桌面背景感到厌烦。
雨量计
如果您正在寻找功能强大的实时桌面，那么Rainmeter就是您的最佳选择。这个应用程序以其可定制性以及您可以添加的许多小部件和功能而闻名。
它本质上是一个工具包平台，可让您将希望看到的重要信息直接带到桌面上。这可能是关于您的计算机系统、社交信息、股票报价等的各种统计数据。
它预装了许多皮肤，或者您可以从庞大的Rainmeter 用户(Rainmeter user)
社区创建的数千个其他皮肤中下载。
Rainmeter中的“皮肤”实际上是一个小部件或一组小部件。当您找到一个有趣的要下载时，它会以.rmskin文件的形式出现。
要在桌面上安装和启用新的Rainmeter小部件：(Rainmeter)
- 双击.rmskin文件进行安装。
- 右键单击(Right-click)任务栏中的Rainmeter图标，然后选择Refresh all。
- 再次右键单击(Right-click)Rainmeter图标，单击
Skins，单击您安装的Skin ，(Skin)然后选择一个INI文件（这些是您可以使用的单个小工具）。
您会看到新的小部件出现在您的桌面上。
在许多情况下，自定义这些小部件可能会有一个陡峭的学习曲线。例如，在许多情况下，要将事件添加到日历小部件，您需要编辑 XML 文件以添加那些重复发生的事件。
尽管有学习曲线，但Rainmeter小部件美观、实用且非常有用。

模拟水族馆 3
人们购买鱼缸是因为缓慢移动的鱼和咕噜咕噜的声音为任何房间提供了一个平静的环境。
您可以使用Sim Aquarium 3(Sim Aquarium 3)应用程序在 Windows 10 桌面上拥有相同的东西（它实际上是一个水族馆屏幕保护程序）。
当您安装该应用程序时，它会配置您的屏幕保护程序以使用该应用程序。屏幕保护程序不仅仅是一个小型的家庭水族馆。这更像是站在一个真实的城市水族馆(Aquarium)的大窗户前，包括伴随着这种体验而来的所有水声。
如果您想完善主题，您还可以从Microsoft商店下载鱼(Fish)和珊瑚(Corals)壁纸。这是真实水族馆鱼类场景的动态壁纸幻灯片。
由于Sim Aquarium 3应用程序是免费的，因此偶尔会看到升级广告。
下载鱼和珊瑚(Download Fish and Corals)并下载Sim Aquarium 3
栅栏
对于Windows用户来说，一直烦恼的是，很难在桌面上整理文档、文件和快捷方式。
这是因为每当您重新启动计算机时，这些图标往往会自行重组。
Fences 让您创建框或“围栏”，您可以在其中对所有重要文件和文件夹进行分组，从而为您的 Windows 体验带来全新的层次或组织。
要自定义 Fences，只需右键单击桌面上的任意位置，然后单击Configure Fences。从那里您可以通过以下方式自定义 Fences：
- 创建新的
- 重命名现有的
- 调整大小或标题
- 改变他们的外表
- 将它们设置为“卷起”（使可折叠）
请记住，Fences不是免费的应用程序。但是，您可以免费试用 30 天，然后再决定它是否能提高您的工作效率以证明成本合理。
下载围栏(Download Fences)
推视频壁纸
PUSH Video Wallpaper是其中一款应用程序，您只有在开始使用它后才会意识到自己有多需要它。
这是一个令人印象深刻的应用程序，可让您将实时视频设置为桌面壁纸。您可以将自己的视频文件（可能来自您度假旅行的家庭视频，或从网上下载的横向视频）放入PUSH Video Wallpaper应用程序中，然后选择它以将其显示为您的壁纸。
应用程序内的控件(Controls)可让您停止、暂停、反转或倒带视频。如果您希望视频静音，也可以使用声音控件将其静音。
此应用程序最酷的功能是能够将
YouTube视频直接流式传输到您的视频壁纸。去做这个：
- 启动 PUSH 视频壁纸应用程序
- 单击添加 URL 链接(Add URL link)图标
- 粘贴 YouTube 视频的 URL
- 单击添加到播放列表(Add
to playlist)
- 单击(Click)播放列表中的视频以开始播放视频
工作时在后台播放某些视频真是太棒了。
例如，将URL链接添加到从(URL)卑尔根(Bergen)到奥斯陆(Oslo)（挪威(Norway)）的 7 小时观光火车之旅，并在工作时将舒缓的旅程作为动态壁纸播放。
与 Fences 一样，PUSH Video Wallpaper不是免费的，但您可以尝试试用版，这样您就知道它在购买之前可以在您的系统上运行良好。它实际上是负担得起的，一个许可证可让您在多达三台计算机上使用该应用程序。

小部件高清
还记得(Remember)Windows 7中的小工具有多酷吗？如果您从Microsoft Store(Microsoft Store)安装 Widgets HD，您可以再次拥有它们。
有了这个应用程序，您可以选择大约 20 个可以放置在桌面上的小工具。这些包括：
与Rainmeter不同，这些小工具不是半透明的，因此它们往往会遮盖您的壁纸，如果不小心放置，会使您的桌面显得杂乱无章。
另一方面，Widgets HD比
Rainmeter更加用户友好。

粘滞便笺桌面
许多Windows用户多年后才意识到Windows 10内置了一个非常有用的Sticky Notes桌面功能。
要启用Sticky Notes，您需要启用 Windows Ink Workspace。
- 右键单击任务栏并选择显示 Windows Ink 工作区(Show Windows Ink Workspace)按钮。
- 单击新的Windows Ink 图标(Windows Ink icon)并选择Sticky Notes。
- 使用粘滞便笺(Sticky Notes)搜索工具创建新便笺或查找现有便笺。
- 双击(Double)便笺以附加到当前桌面。
早在计算机出现的早期，用户习惯于在显示器边缘粘贴便签。许多用户仍然这样做！
使用集成的便笺(Sticky Notes)工具，您可以将这些便笺附加到现有桌面上，并随时让它们触手可及。
7 Amazing Live Wallpapers for Windows 10 to Transform Your Desktop
If you’ve been using a static wallpaper for yoυr Windowѕ
desktop, you’re wasting νalυable space thаt you could be using for еіther
entertainment or productivity.
The Windows desktop is where you end up when you’ve closed
all your windows, or when you’re using smaller Windows that don’t use up all
your desktop space.
So, why not take advantage of that space with Live
Wallpapers that are beautiful, animated, and in many cases could even help
boost your productivity?
Have a look at these 7 live wallpapers and try a few out.
Once you start using live wallpapers, you’ll never go back to a static one
again.
Personalize Windows
The definition of a “live desktop” is a bit vague. Many
sites offering free desktop wallpaper offer nothing more than a video
background, or a desktop slideshow app.
There’s no need to waste your time installing a slideshow
live wallpaper when you have that feature baked right into Windows 10 already.
To enable a slideshow desktop:
- Right click anywhere on the desktop and select Personalize.
- Change the Background dropdown box to Slideshow.
- Click the Browse
button to choose the folder that holds all of your photos.
You can also configure the slideshow to change at set
intervals, shuffle the photos randomly, and how to place them on the desktop.
Load your vacation photos, beautiful scenery, or any other
images of interests you have. Using a slideshow wallpaper ensures that you’ll
never get bored with your desktop background.
Rainmeter
If you’re looking for a highly functional live desktop, you
can’t do any better than Rainmeter. This app is famous for its customizability
and the many widgets and features you can add.
It’s essentially a toolkit platform that lets you bring
important information you’d like to see right onto your desktop. This might be
a variety of stats about your computer system, social feeds, stock quotes, and
more.
It comes pre-packaged with a number of skins, or you can
download from thousands of other skins created by the massive Rainmeter user
community.
A “skin” in Rainmeter is actually a widget or group of widgets.
When you find an interesting one to download, it’ll arrive as an .rmskin file.
To install and enable a new Rainmeter widget on your
desktop:
- Double-click the .rmskin file to install it.
- Right-click the Rainmeter icon in the taskbar
and select Refresh all.
- Right-click the Rainmeter icon again, click
Skins, click the Skin you installed, and then choose an INI file (these are the
individual gadgets you can use).
You’ll see the new widget appear on your desktop.
In many cases, customizing these widgets may have a steep learning
curve. For example, in many cases to add an event to a calendar widget, you
need to edit an XML file to add those recurring events.
Despite the learning curve, Rainmeter widgets are beautiful,
functional, and very useful.

Sim Aquarium 3
People buy fish aquariums because the slow-moving fish and
the gurgling sounds provides a calming environment to any room.
You can have the same thing on your Windows 10 desktop with
the Sim Aquarium 3 app (it’s actually an aquarium screensaver).
When you install the app, it’ll configure your screensaver
to use the app. The screensaver isn’t just a small in-home aquarium. It’s more
like standing at a large window at an actual city Aquarium, including all the
water sounds that come along with that experience.
If you want to round out the theme, you could also download
the Fish and Corals wallpaper from the Microsoft store. This is a live
wallpaper slideshow of real aquarium fish scenes.
Since the Sim Aquarium 3 app is free, expect to see
occasional upgrade ads.
Download Fish and Corals and Download Sim Aquarium 3
Fences
On constant annoyance for Windows users is that it’s
difficult to keep documents, files and shortcuts organized on your desktop.
This is because these icons tend to reorganize themselves
whenever you reboot your computer.
Fences brings a whole new level or organization to your
Windows experience by letting you create boxes, or “fences” where you can group
all your important files and folders.
To customize Fences, just right click anywhere on your
desktop and click Configure Fences.
From there you can customize Fences in the following ways:
- Create new ones
- Rename existing ones
- Adjust the size or title
- Change their appearance
- Set them to “roll-up” (make the collapsible)
Keep in mind that Fences isn’t a free app. However, you can
try it for free for 30 days before deciding whether it will improve your
productivity enough to justify the cost.
Download Fences
PUSH Video Wallpaper
PUSH Video Wallpaper is one of those apps that you’ll only
realize how badly you needed it after you start using it.
It’s an impressive application that lets you set live video
as your desktop wallpaper. You can place your own video files (maybe from home
video from your vacation trips, or landscape videos downloaded off the web)
into the PUSH Video Wallpaper app, and then select it to display it as your
wallpaper.
Controls inside the app let you stop, pause, reverse or
rewind the video. There are also sound controls to mute the video if you want
it to be silent.
The coolest feature of this app is the ability to stream
YouTube videos directly to your video wallpaper. To do this:
- Launch the PUSH Video Wallpaper app
- Click on the Add URL link icon
- Paste the URL of the YouTube video
- Click Add
to playlist
- Click on the video in your playlist to start the
video
It’s amazing how nice it is to have certain videos playing
in the background as you’re working.
For example, add the URL link to the 7-hour scenic train
ride from Bergen to Oslo (Norway), and play the soothing trip as your live
wallpaper while you work.
Like Fences, PUSH Video Wallpaper isn’t free, but you can
try the trial version, so you know it works well on your system before you buy.
It’s actually affordable, and one license lets you use the app on up to three
computers.

Widgets HD
Remember how cool gadgets were in Windows 7? Well you can
have them again if you install Widgets HD from the Microsoft Store.
With this app you have a choice of roughly 20 gadgets you
can place onto your desktop. These include:
- Digital or analog clock
- Calendar
- Resource meters
- Weather
- Sticky notes
- RSS feeds
Unlike Rainmeter, the gadgets aren’t translucent, so they
tend to cover up your wallpaper and if not placed carefully can make your
desktop feel cluttered.
On the other hand, Widgets HD is far more user friendly than
Rainmeter.

Sticky Notes Desktop
Many Windows users go years before realizing that there’s a
very useful Sticky Notes desktop feature built right into Windows 10.
To enable Sticky Notes, you need to enable Windows Ink
Workspace.
- Right click on the taskbar and select Show Windows Ink Workspace button.
- Click on the new Windows Ink icon and select Sticky
Notes.
- Use the Sticky Notes search tool to create new
notes or find existing ones.
- Double click the sticky note to attach to your
current desktop.
Back in the early days of computers, users used to paste
sticky notes all around the edge of their monitors. Many users still do this!
With the integrated Sticky Notes tool, you can attach those
sticky notes to your existing desktop and have them within reach at all times.
