The software is a Mac OS X utility that extends the existing functionality of OS X by affording users with the luxury of applying an animated GIF as their desktop background on a MacBook or iMac. The theory and thinking behind GIFPaper is extremely simple and is probably given away by the name of the app. But what about those who want a little dynamism in the form of a moving GIF-like solution on their desktop? GIFPaper for Mac looks to solve that exact problem. That could be your favourite movie poster, image of your children or loved ones, or even the view from your bedroom window. One of the first things that most people will do when getting a new smartphone, tablet, or computer is find their favourite image and apply it as a desktop or home screen wallpaper.
Having the ability to apply a small amount of customization to mobile and desktop machines is generally something that hugely appeals to owners.
