Regarding the cpu and memory, you would need to look to explorer.exe Hybrid dreams are efficient, but we have yet to get them to use 0.3MB! They basically use size of NWA files on HD + some bits needed by the rendering engine. No we will allow them but they will not be marked as compatible with Windows 8 to avoid disappointment. So all uploads not having these codecs will be rejected in future uploads?

Chaninja has some wonderful examples on the site. They don't rely on any decoders and are typically low cpu. MPEG4 in AVI format (XVID style) is a better choice if you want to support Windows 8.Īn alternative is to look into hybrid dreams. MPEG2 decoders require patent licensing which is excessively expensive for a product like DeskScapes.

It's for sure I'm not going to re-encode my entire Gallery. Without MPG2, I doubt I will be creating or uploading any dreams in the future. Quoting CarGuy1, reply 1Wouldn't it have been easier to include a MPG2 codec with DesScapes8? Requireing the use of AVI or WMV makes the CPU usage double in most cases.

Otherwise, DeskScapes uses a moderate amount of system resources and certainly brings a unique feel to any desktop.I currently use Chaninja´s Plasturd Dream and the resource overview shows that deskscapes8 is runnning with 0,3mb Objects take a few seconds to load after you click them, and the program froze once during our tests (after applying a background). In order to further customize your wallpaper, you can add image effects - Alien World, Black and White, blue channel only, blue sky filter, burn effect, canvas texture, desaturate, grayscale, sepia, mirror or snow.Īdditionally, you can search for a particular background, download and install more backgrounds, adjust quality settings, enable support for additional graphics cards, correct aspect ratio on secondary monitors, set desktop icon transparency, and more. For instance, you can set the number of shapes you want to have displayed at once, the speed of an animation, or you can create slideshow images or hide particular objects in a picture. Configure animations, colors, and effectsįurthermore, you can change settings for each type of wallpaper. You can also filter backgrounds according to their rating, apply a random background, or recolor your existing wallpaper (select the part of the wallpaper you want to recolor, pick the color to apply, and adjust color saturation). You can simply select and use a wallpaper, which can be either an image, a video, hybrid, or dynamic. A welcome screen informs you that there are some panels in the bottom that you can access, in order to personalize backgrounds. The user interface is quite appealing and easy to navigate through. DeskScapes is a program that enables you to customize your desktop wallpaper, thanks to some attractive backgrounds and image effects.
