DeskScapes 3 Beta 1 Release

Published on August 20, 2009 By Island Dog In Personal Computing

We are excited to announce the release of DeskScapes 3 – Beta 1 to current Object Desktop subscribers. DeskScapes is an application where users can apply animated backgrounds, also called .dreams, to their desktop. DeskScapes 3 introduces a variety of new features, the most obvious being the completely new user interface. If you are trying out the WindowBlinds 7 beta, you will certainly recognize and be familiar with it. It’s much cleaner, and easier to navigate.

New User Interface

Another new feature is Effects. These effects can be applied to a .dream to change and enhance the look. This particular feature is only available to Windows Vista and Windows 7 users.

Effects

The last feature I will talk about today is live previews. Now you will be able to view the .dream in action in the preview windows without having to apply it!

Object Desktop subscribers can download the DeskScapes 3 Beta via Impulse . We also have a forum thread open to allow users to report any issues. For more information about becoming an Object Desktop subscriber, please visit www.objectdesktop.com .

Hi, everyone, I downloaded the Beta 3 also, and told it to run; but I'm still seeing v 2.90 beta. 'Sup with it? I'm anxious to try out the new stuff, but can't get to it. I think I'm gonna have an epic hissy fit in a minute....

BTW, I'm running Vista Ultimate.

just wondering if you meant object dock instead of object desktop (not sure what that is) as it's available to me and i've only object dock.

***edit***

n/m it's v2.5 not the beta, impulse is saying there's an update but that i don't have reg keys (how do insert a screenshot?)

I'm SO confused! When I try to download a dream, I don't know where the default dream folder is, so I can't get it to work from Impulse. Where do my dreams go now? I saw that we now have to click on the "apply" button in Impulse, but none of the dreams I use are there. Help?
