Several years ago, around 1997, I saw a PC, I think it was a Sony, running Windows 95 and it had these really interesting icons on the desktop that were animated.
You’d just be looking at the desktop and they’d be doing their thing. I have not seen those since then. Was this particular to that machine? Are they still available?
Yes. You can download animated icon libraries from the Internet or make your own easily with Axialis Icon Workshop or Microangelo.
Here are a bunch of Windows icons (including animated) that you can download. Do a search on the net and you can find lots more.
Note: This is just the first page that popped up on Google. I can’t vouch for the function/safety of these, so do a virus scan and all before unzipping.
