Desktop movie is a simple application to play movie files on your desktop. The player projects the movie to the backround replacing your background image temporarily. The player is based on direct show meaning every movie you can play with a directshow player can be played with desktop movie too. At start you can choose your movie and the player starts. A tray icon can be found on the tray bar during the playing process. Here you can load another movie, pause, rewind or forward the video and set the volume level.

What is new in this release:

Version 2.6.3:

  • Modified 'Refresh Display' global hotkey to Ctrl + R since old hotkey (Shift + R) prevented typing capital R in other programs.
  • Fixed double click starting of online streamed video clips from the playlist.
  • Fixed restoring playlist item at startup if last clip was an online streamed video clip.

What is new in version 2.6.2:

version 2.6.2 improved Windows 10 compatibility.

  • 1. Window shadows are disabled while the player runs.
  • 2. Added 'Refresh Display' option to menu together with a global hotkey (Shift + R).
