its great but XP doesn't like to run many of the Object desktop things at once with out some issue of some sort.

makes Win7 look like what it was meant too though.

I honestly have pretty good luck with DeskScapes on XP.  Have a little trouble pulling some of the video dreams, but it is after all an old box, not a great video machine in any shape or form.  The Hybrids and Dynamics run well with low cpu usage.

I'm just happy, grateful, and a little surprised that Stardock bothered/managed to get DeskScapes working on XP.  When I saw Vista's DreamScenes and DeskScapes I thought "I like it, but I won't be seeing it in the near future."  I think I might have actually foamed at the mouth just a little bit when the DeskScapes XP-compatible version came out.    That was one of those "pleasant little surprises" that comes along every once in awhile.

My only problem is that my desktop icons hidden by Fences become visible when I have Deskscapes running.

QUESTION:  Regarding the color-change feature that you show in the third video...

Does that feature apply only to wallpapers?  I cannot get it to apply to DREAM files.
