Stardock is very excited to announce the release of DeskScapes 3.1.  DeskScapes is an application that lets users have animated wallpapers, also called .Dreams, on their Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 desktops.  It supports playing video as animated wallpaper, dynamically generated content as animated wallpaper, and more.

The biggest new feature in this release is the support for multi-monitors.  DeskScapes can now assign a different animated wallpaper to a specified monitor.  Not only does this work with animated wallpapers, but static wallpapers as well!

Other updates include:

  • Folder based filtering in the filter bar
  • Include sub-folders when adding folders
  • Install background now allows you to pick a .themepack (MS Win 7 theme files) and will extract the wallpapers so you can make use of them.
  • Random .dream option
  • Various UI tweaks
  • Four new effects (black & white, edge enhance, canvas texture, paper texture)
  • Desktop icon transparency control
  • Multiple monitor support where you can pick a different background per monitor (Win7/Vista only)

Existing users and Object Desktop subscribers can update via Impulse.  More information and a free trial download can be found at the link below.

I meant to create an article on this. When ever I use Deskscapes with Fences Pro on, the Fences boxes come to the frot and block the back ground Deskscape Dream. Anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.

Which OS are you using?  Fences isn't compatible with Deskscapes on Windows XP.  Though isn't the point of the boxes to show above the wallpaper?
