Well, Windows used to have “Active Desktop” in what, Win95? You could pin animations and such to your desktop but that never really survived past that version. It wasn’t part of OS but an add-on that was somehow part of IE 4.0. Plenty to third-party programs that do similar I think.

Yeah, but I mean specifically like the background on that website - a gpu-accelerated wave animation of polygons. I could do that on my Android phone for years, but it looks like most windows apps for animated background simply play an mp4 file, which is not ideal.
