He's livin' on the bleeding edge!

(hopefully, he's got a clone of that system drive just in case)

Really...

Sounds like you have it covered then.

havn't found one with Modren mix (no point in it now though), start8 (Win10 in the processes of making this one obsolite as well).

Decor8 still has a place in win10 as long as u like the startscreen over startmenu
Deskscape works welll .. . Did have DX11 crash on login once though which kept the videos from playing but a quick restart fixed that. A bug on the os side... not to worried.. alpha and all.


So far all my current installed works with out a hitch to since the upgrade. I did have to reinstall my DashBoard for windows server 2008 r2 to re configure my nightly system backups on this pc...

kevinlbourne1, you will need codecs. As one did with 8.1.

I use Klite codec pack.

Mine repeatedly launch in an ActiveMovie Window seperate from the desktop.  Occassionally it will work as it should, but task view switching "pauses" it indefinitely.

if youve done a clean install it may take a second for your gfx card to boot up or updating drivers help.only time i saw the active window glitch was when the gfx card wasnt installed properly/crashed whitch is usually the case for that bug.

make sure your graphics cards intact.note most computers will not have microsoft basic adapter as their gfx card.this usually indicates your normal card wasnt found as this is generic display

task view is also a bug so use alt and tab to switch if you want to use deskscapes.just until its updated

unsure if this was the post i made a similar statement but it still stands true.im a tester,its what i do,and i never give advice i havent tested myself for positive answers

Here the same problem.. Today upgraded from 8.1.

Works perfectly, until the change off desktop video. From that point it launches Activemovie seperate, with the next desktop....

taskview pauses it...

mine won't work at all in Win10, Ever thing upto date, inc drivers and Klite... its the #1 resason why I reimaged back to my win8.1 setup until further notice

It works for me, upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, but I tested fresh Deskscapes (all v8.21) installs on Windows 10 betas with only the same problems detailed below.

I don't use Task View, so I can't comment on that.

But the only bug I see regularly is a multimonitor assignment one.

Monitor layout (according to Windows ID in Windows 7 and 10, both x64).

3 1 2

According to Deskscapes the monitors were the same under Windows 7, but under Windows 10, they ID as...

1 3 2

Note that this is based on which Dream goes to which Monitor when selected.  W10 still reports the 3 1 2 monitor IDs.

Now, this also causes a problem with the selection of Primary Monitor.

I normally have the middle monitor as Primary (for games, etc.).  This caused no problems for Deskscapes under Windows 7.

Under Windows 10, I MUST have the leftmost monitor as the Primary or else Deskscapes PhotoDream will not work on the leftmost monitor (where I want it).

It appears to me that, under Windows 10, Deskscapes ALWAYS selects the Primary monitor as Monitor 1 no matter where it is, no matter what Windows 10 IDs it as.  I assume this means that there is something different about how Windows 10 reports Monitor ID vs. Windows 7, of course.

Despite all of this, once I got things working, the really good news is that Deskscapes works FAR BETTER on Windows 10 than Windows 7!!!

For example, the Master Baron's gorgeous Goodnight Earth video dream used to microstutter under Windows 7.  I don't know if this was a codec issue or an underlying "I'm pushing Windows 7 too damned hard, Captain" issue or a Deskscapes/DirectX issue, etc.  But I know it wasn't a graphics driver issue because the same thing happened across different display cards and monitors/resolutions,   But under Windows 10, Goodnight Earth is smooth as silk no matter what resolution I run it at, so I now suspect the problem was an underlying, core Windows 7 OS issue that Windows 10 resolved (perhaps as part of the move to DirectX 12?).

So, except for the things I had to work around, I've never had a better Uber-Deskscapes (re: 3 different dreams across 3 30" monitors) experience than I do with Windows 10.  Once they get the bugs worked out (which I don't suspect will take them long), I think Deskscapes owners are going to be VERY happy with Windows 10.

I hope this helps someone somewhere someday.  

Only running one monitor here, but Dreamscapes seems to be working fine. Granted I haven't tried to change dreams as I really don't want to break what is working fine.
