Hi,
that sounds nice! I remember back in Windows 7 era, we could set video files to be looped as a background for Windows. I would love the same feature added to Windows 10.
I'm not a gif expert but i've had a fair share of experience with them 🙂
in my opinion since desktop sizes are usually very big (1080x1920) or 4K, the Gif size would be Huge! probably half a gigabyte if it has a decent frame rate, duration and quality.
about quality, Gifs can't be as crisp and high quality as video files, they have limited color spectrum.
also it's easy to convert gifs to mp4 or even produce mp4 from your source file and skip the gif conversation part. mp4 file will definitely give you higher quality background, more frame rate and reduced size which leads to reduced resource usage.
