Black desktop on "show desktop" button press?

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

 

I'm using a dreamscene with deskscapes 8 on Windows 8.1 and it's working pretty well. However, I'm having an issue when clicking on the further most right edge of the screen to "show my desktop". It minimizes all windows including the dreamscene so my desktop is black until I click a program on the bar. 

 

Any workarounds on this? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Good news, I found out what causes this glitch! It seems to have to do with showing the background (dream) on the start screen! I was playing around with it and when I disabled the option to show the desktop picture on the start screen, it worked fine. You can navigate there by going to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Taskbar and Navigation > Navigation and then un-checking "Show my desktop background on Start".
