A while ago Søren Sandmann did some work to support animated
backgrounds. The use case this feature was designed for is to
show pictures of the same scene (e.g. a city skyline) over the
course of the day (say, every 15 minutes), synchronized to the
current time.
Unfortunately, we didn't ever get around to take such a photo
series. But it would be a shame to let this nice feature go
unused and eventually bitrot away, so I ported it to the new
appearance capplet last night, and I am sending out this email
in the hope that maybe some artists will find this interesting
enough to come up with some cool animated backgrounds.
So I did a series of the infinity backgrounds, 24, 1 for each in the day
to match the approximate sky coloring of that time of day.

All 24 PNGs:
Each one is widescreen, 25600x1600 pixels which I think is the largest
reasonably available resolution for widescreen ratio. :)
I put together an xml file for the animation based on the format for
gnome-desktop-2.19.90-4:

I did each one using gradients and layer blending modes in the Gimp over
top of the main background image. The source is here (warning: it's
quite large):
