Animated Wallpapers for XP!
Published on September 11, 2008 By Island Dog In WinCustomize News

Shortly after the release of Windows Vista last year, Stardock introduced DeskScapes to users of Windows Vista Ultimate which added  featured like dynamic .dreams, triggered .dreams, etc.  We also launched Dream.WinCustomize.Com which is the official site to find more animated wallpapers (.dreams) for use with DeskScapes.  Later, we launched DeskScapes 2.0 which brought the ability for nearly all Vista users to have animated wallpapers on their desktops.

However, the one comment we always get is “I want to use these on XP”.   That was always an issue because Vista had much more resources available to make animated wallpapers more feasible, but with the advancement of video drivers and the technology behind Stardock DeskScapes…..

I’m happy to say to Windows XP users that DeskScapes 2.5 will bring .dreams to your desktop!

Oh sure, just throw something else into the mix so that the question of updating my computer just gets more confusing.

I've been hoping this was around the corner. I just hope my video card and single-core CPU won't choke on these!

I haven't even tried this out on Vista yet. It's not "up there" for me. Is it any good?

The ability to force a screensaver to run under Descapes (efficiently) would be really cool.  Don't suppose that's in this release?

I wonder if this release will fix Deskscapes for me on my vista basic machine... If not, then all the more reason to switch to XP!!!

I know this question will probably not be answered until the release but I just starting using Stardock Visrtual Desktop (SVD) on my XP system, wonder how the Deskscapes (animated wallpapers) will work with it?
