Neil updated the Stars Master .dream today and I wanted to write about it as it’s one of the few dynamic .dreams we have available on WinCustomize. This animated wallpaper displays a field of moving stars that you can configure the number, size, color, and speed of the stars. You can also use your own wallpaper below the stars for a custom look. It was updated with 21:9 (super wide) screen support and better multiple monitor handling. Stars by Neil Banfield
