Try the DeskScapes 10 Beta Now
Stardock is pleased to announce a major new version of DeskScapes
Personalize your desktop wallpaper with animations, pictures and video.

The new version includes updates based on customer feedback such as:

  • A new wallpaper manager, complete with the ability to mark “favorite” backgrounds, as well as modifying and saving both static and animated wallpapers.
  • Seamless WinCustomize library integration allows direct browsing and downloading of backgrounds from within the application.
  • Comes in light and dark theme modes to suit your personal tastes.
  • Supports h264 videos with hardware accelerated decoding where possible.
  • New additional effects you can apply to static and animated wallpapers which can now easily be combined and ordered.

 

The DeskScapes UI has had a complete overhaul

As well as the obvious dark / light mode, the interface now splits the list in to folders allowing improved management of your backgrounds.

 

DeskScapes now allows you to browse the WinCustomize library directly from the app

Directly browsing the WinCustomize library from within the application puts new backgrounds a click away and offers greater exposure of new Deskscapes and wallpaper backgrounds to other users.

 

Apply effects and now apply more than one at once

If you've ever found yourself loading up an image into a photo editing app to tweak it to make for a better desktop background, look no further than DeskScapes 10.  The beta includes over 60 effects, along with the ability to combine multiple effects to give users the ability to turn pretty much any image or video file into a usable desktop background.

 

DeskScapes 10 beta is available for Object Desktop subscribers today.
A stand-alone version is expected to be released this Spring.

Thanks for all your help. I give up. Nothing should be this difficult.

Back to DS 8

on Mar 22, 2019

I tried this beta but to some extent it is a step backwards I like to have all my wallpapers and dreams to be random but with this version I have to add each file individually to the random folder which is extremely tedious when yo have 1000+ wallpapers at least with the last version you could "select all" 

on Mar 23, 2019

oldwall works great on Descapes 8, does not work on DS 10. ? Is there a registry fix fro that?

Otherwise I have NO problems with DS 10

and i'll check it out .

It is installed in the registry only. below is for DS 10

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-48017900-2978218137-927987745-1000\Software\Stardock\Deskscapes]
"OldWall"="C:\\Users\\my name\\AppData\\Local\\Stardock"

I'm not really clear what your saying ,

are you saying "oldwall" is a dream that works in DS8 but not in DS10 ?

if so that link above is not a link to the actual dream .

That link line you show does not show for me .

Leave a video capture here to show your issue...

When I disable DS10 oldwall in the registry is supposed to return your desktop jpg as it was before you started DS 10.

When I disable DS 10 My desktop has NO previous jpg (picture). All I get is a blank white desktop.

The oldwall is a registry entry so when you disable DS 10 is supposed to return the desktop to it's previous state

Again oldwall is in the registry only

Thanks. AZDude.  I'll keep watching. BTW..I'll keep using DS 10beta with it's flaws, or it just could be me. Hope DS 10 will be better out of beta.

Also, Love your Dreams!

You did, it just is not working for you or not being done correctly.

This is what Neil was talking about and showcases it working as intended - is it not working for you in this manner:

Am I the only one having a problem with Deskscapes 10 beta freezing when using the random background option? Have a brand new computer running Windows 10 with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 video card. Starts fine and works for about 10 minutes before freezing and the only way to get it going again is to reboot.
