North Dakota Flag Stream Deck Screensaver, Animated Waving Flag GIF, Elgato MK2 XL Plus, Instant Digital Download

North Dakota on your Stream Deck, as cloth rather than as a picture. The flag shows a bald eagle with thirteen stars fanned above it, drawn at its official proportions and left to fall where the gaps between your keys fall — a buyer knows their own flag, and a faithful one partly hidden reads correctly where a simplified one just looks wrong.

This is not a state seal on blue — it is the regimental colour the First North Dakota Infantry carried in the Philippines, adopted whole in 1911. The eagle holds an olive branch and arrows, E PLURIBUS UNUM in its beak, and the state name on a scroll beneath.

It is not a video of a flag. The cloth is simulated: a travelling wave runs through it, the surface normal is computed at every point, and the shading follows the folds rather than being painted on top of them. The colours narrow and widen as the cloth turns away from you, and the highlight travels along a crease instead of sitting on it. The wave completes exactly one cycle over the loop, so the last frame is the first frame again and it runs without a seam for as long as you leave the room.

WHAT YOU GET. One file, and it works on every Stream Deck. It is a 1440x816 master, which is larger than any deck needs, so the Stream Deck app scales it down to whatever you have — MK.2, XL, Stream Deck +, Neo, Studio, the GALLEON keyboard and Stream Deck Mobile included. Nothing is missing from your download; there is genuinely only one file to install. An illustrated HTML guide and a plain README come with it.

HONEST LIMITS. This is an animated GIF, so it needs the Stream Deck app version 6.6 or newer. The Stream Deck MINI cannot display animations at all — that is a limitation of the hardware, not of this file, and it is better said here than discovered afterwards. Nothing here is affiliated with, licensed by or endorsed by Elgato or any game publisher; the artwork is original and drawn in code.
