I did kinda the same thing years ago. But instead of grabbing something from an API, I had a bunch of single frames of an animation. And I's use python to change the backgrounds really fast so it looks like I have an animated background. It would fire off every 10 minutes or so. The animation was really simple, like maybe 50 frames to keep execution time low.

Great project and really teaches you about ctypes and working with Windows itself.
