Can understand the view concerning the hack but would think Stardock might also  understand its members/users fustraition as well so how bout a beta for those of us who are legitimatly testing Win 7 for MS?:grin:

Fortunately with the new Direct2D acceleration, I expect a Win7 Deskscape/DreamScene update from Stardock to be particularly tasty. :D

Please do not suggest people pirate Microsoft software!

 

It's not a hack so much as it's a third party software that will unlock the reg to allow you to use windows dreams as in vista but you need to do this in order to keep useing your software

Why not wait for Stardock to release a version of Deskscapes for Windows 7 (hopefully they will by the time Windows 7 Ultimate is released) rather than messing up your system with such kind of cheap registry hacks as you mention.

In my opinion this is not advisable.

Very Correct.

Hello Stardock are you there! Please give us a least a glimmer of hope. Will there be a Windows 7version of Deskscapes, like WindowBlinds 7 or Tweak 7. It's almost release time for W7 please respond.

Feel you've answered your question yourself as you mention about Window Blinds7 and Tweak7 !!

If you remember, Deskscapes 1.02 was released first for Vista Ultimate, and later after testing for dreams to 

work perfectly on other versions of Vista, Deskscapes2 was released, likewise before releasing any version of

Deskscapes for Windows7, Stardock will have to wait until the final release of Windows7 and it should so that people

also get satisfied rather than complaining about compatibility issues !!

Deskscapes 3 is  to be fully functional with Win 7 with new unified looking GUI akin to IP and WB. It has custom allocatable dream directories and active preview of the Dream also. Explorer integration is being worked upon at the moment.

A great new feature is the effects that you can apply to your existing dreams - nightvision, rainbow, motion blur are just a few.

The beta is available through Impulse right now.

The beta is available through Impulse right now.

I'm not positive.....but it's probably only available to Object Desktop subscribers

Yes, true, I forgot that bit.  The main thrust of my reply was to point out that Stardock have been working to get Deskscapes to a Win 7 ready  release version. :)

Yes that is correct - it does work in win 7. It is a new beta program for those with OD subs via show prerelease. Works well with 7. Now if we could get some new dreams that would not use so much cpu it would be great.

Do it then instead of always taking snide swipes.

What do you call too much CPU? Try the lighthouse one I uploaded this morning and tell me if it uses too much.

OR, try any of my dreams, most of them created for extremely low CPU usage at low bitrate so that they just use 5-10% CPU on my notebook !!

BTW Awesome dream Mike 5* :thumbsup:

Where can I get the deskskapes beta 3 for Windows7? Some people said it was in impulse but I could not find it.

Reply #20 Top

buy Object desktop and you get it...

Reply #21 Top

bought the $49 object desktop, yet my legal licensed win7 ultimate has no deskscapes :(

 

maybe impulse doesnt know I bought object desktop?

 

theres a lic code, and it matches the one stardock mailed me

 

ah, I miss the dreams, wmv's work fine, but dreams are the best

Did you check the option to see pre-release apps?

Reply #23 Top

I dont have an option to show "pre release apps" but I do have an option to show "freeware and demos" under the "View" tab, and I have enabled that.

Show prereleases is on the orb menu.  Click the orb / button at the top left of the Impulse window.

thanks, I found "show prereleases" now, from your info

 

but still, no dreams on my win7 ultimate

 

I see deskscapes, but not a beta version.

 

no dreams
