Hi
The Active Desktop that enabled things like animated wallpaper and websites to be displayed on the Desktop was deprecated beginning with Vista, although Vista did have the Dreamscene component for the Ultimate edition. These were removed because of security/performance
issues.
The online Gadgets Gallery was recently deprecated for some of the same reasons. When you click the Get more gadgets online link in the Gadgets component, read the statement toward the bottom of that page for more information. Many companies produce their
own gadgets, like they do Apps for smartphones.
There are tons of free screensavers online as well as third party products that can reproduce these features.
Most everything in Windows 7 is focused on the themes and the Desktop Slideshow.
Here are some links with more information.

Trash in trash out. Right now my worst enemy is Explorer Tool bar, Explorer Folder and Explorer 9
I had a great set up.. first came AVG with all the answers. I even bought the pkg. Then came ad blocker I donated. Then came Google and a new twist called Kadazan..It worked great..but it doesn't work that well on Fox Browser for Yahoo. I still access
Google Dictionary and all the other Google tools.
But now when my cursor clicks on the desktop of my P.C. it buzzes or dings (error). I can't seem to overcome that.
Then, A V G suggested I disable Google Browser and its Homepage. Kadazan..maybe it used to be delta-search and Lord knows what they're full of.
I pushed Kadazan on Facebook I loved it so much..But all software, both domestic and foreign (AVG) couldn't solve the problem with the buzzing or beeping cursor on my Explorer (Bing) Webpage Wallpaper. Couldn't access my Explorer Browser's window 7 wall
paper free to Explorer users.
How nice these software for profit companies. Wish the Government were that way, we'd be able to have free medical and health insurance for free because our companies would see us as an investment instead of a money drain.
But, unfortunately, I'm not the President..The President is the President and he doesn't even have a clue as to why the web sight of his doesn't work. It doesn't work because criminals known to us as black hat hackers are successfully compromising everything good in the U.S. society because they aren't intelligent enough to come up with something better. I'm talking Russia, Iran, North Korea, China, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.
White Hat Hackers are the salvation of this Internet. Without them it is a space with Satan's devils and none of God's (Yahweh's) Angels.
So wise up..Do we want to let these criminals control cyberspace like they control our society in our cities and towns or are we going to stand up to them and make them regret what they do.
Let;s make black hat skull drudgery a death penalty offense and get rid of these a.h.'s once and for all.
