The images chosen, should be 800x600 pixels in size and at 'screen' resolution of 72dpi. The program will only use .gif, .jpg or .jpeg type graphic file formats for this purpose.

Create your own gif
You can create your own gif and use it as a background. The size of the gif will determine the amount of area of the display that it covers. Here are some typical values:
For an 800x600 display, use a 700x525 image
For an 1248x1024 display, use a 1200x900 image
Create an animated gif
You can create an animated gif that looks like a Flash movie, but can run on more types of displays.
Take multiple pictures of a scene or create multiple images in PhotoShop. Download Ulead GIF Animator 5 (or some other animation creation program). Run the Ulead GIF Animator Wizard. Duplicate pictures as appropriate and organize them in the proper order. Compress the video from inside of Ulead GIF Animator. Save the resulting gif animation (it will save with a .gif extension). Import that gif as discussed above. You will have an animated gif for a background.
