Windows 11’s dynamic wallpapers revealed by former Microsoft designer

Windows 11 was supposed to get dynamic wallpapers in 2023.

By Tom Warren, a senior editor and author of Notepad, who has been covering all things Microsoft, PC, and tech for over 20 years. Sergey Kisselev, a former motion designer and 3D artist at Microsoft, has detailed his work on the dynamic animations for Windows 11 that were originally supposed to ship in 2023 but have likely been canceled now. In his post on Behance, Kisselev describes the dynamic wallpapers as “part of the Windows Creative Direction Team’s efforts to celebrate a new centered signature composition for Windows 11, highlighting its centered Start Menu and taskbar.” The dynamic wallpapers were part of an effort that was “explored for Microsoft’s low-cost devices, primarily targeting educational users,” according to Kisselev.
