Windows 21H1 build 190043.1165

On the 'Welcome' screen, in the section 'Recent backgrounds', deleted dreams continue to be displayed. They have  a solid black thumbnail and filename.dream as the description. They end up taking screen space that should be used for valid backgrounds. The dreams had been deleted through the Deskscapes interface.

I have Windows Pro 21H2 build 190044.1266 & purchased & tried the DeskScapes 11 Beta. I found that my animated dreams only animate for a few seconds or so, then remain static. I didn't see anyone else mention about this issue in this post, so I'm not sure if Stardock is aware of the issue or not. This is a small bug but it's very annoying, especially since I paid the 5 bucks to upgrade from DS 10. I used the DSPurge batch script that I downloaded from another thread in the Stardock Forums (I don't recall which offhand) to ensure everything was removed from the old version & then reinstalled DS 11 Beta. That didn't fix the issue, it still animates for a little while, then remains static. This is the screensaver portion that I'm referring to, in case I forgot to say, so as a workaround I used DSPurge again to remove DS 11 & reinstalled DS 10. DS 10 works as expected, except sometimes it gets stuck if the screensaver is going & I try to exit. That usually resolves within 15-30 seconds, but once in a while I have to have Windows force quit DS 10 to exit the screensaver. Maybe that issue was fixed in DS 11, but I can't use that version yet because it doesn't seem to keep my dreams animated when I use it as a screensaver like DS 10 does. Any suggestions would be helpful...  

This happens on all of the ones I tried. I think those dreams were made for DS 10 or earlier. Regardless of which theme I use, when I try it in DS 11, it doesn't keep the theme animated. Also, the themes that come with DS 11 I couldn't even get to work at all, so I can't tell you much about those dreams. I get all of the extra dreams & cursors I want off of WinCustomize.com, which I assume is the correct place to get those. I usually try out the stuff I download to be sure it works & all, so I think it may be some kind of bug in DS 11 that wasn't yet addressed. Seems like it's not just in the screensaver portion of the program, as when I click on a dream & let it preview, it animates for a little bit, then stops & stays still. Doesn't do that in DS 10, they all animate & loop around like they're supposed to, even in the preview window. I like DS 11 because there seems to be a bug in DS 10 on the screensaver portion, as sometimes it has trouble exiting the screensaver when it runs. It especially has trouble if I preview the screensaver, then try to exit... I recall having to force quit DS 10 just to be able to use my computer again if I previewed the screensaver. It's less severe if I just let the screensaver launch by itself when it's time & then move the mouse or tap a key on the keyboard, but I do have to wait up to 30 seconds for it to fully exit from screensaver mode. I didn't mention it earlier because I figured they probably fixed that issue in DS 11, which they seemed to, but now DS 11 has the issue of not being able to keep the dreams animated. I'll still use DS 10 in the meantime, despite the screensaver bug (which I can live with since it's minor), but as soon as DS 11 gets the issue I mentioned fixed, I'll try that again & see how it is then. Fingers crossed...

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues.

I can't repo your issue it's working for me , so I would like you to check settings .

In Ds11 app bottom left click on Settings the settings again

then you in the settings app ( see below ) 3 options in a drop down

I have mine set on EVR , try all 3 settings and see if one works better for you

BTW, I noticed under the recently installed animated backgrounds section that it shows themes I used before that are not currently installed. I can't seem to get rid of them by selecting & choosing delete theme, so I'm thinking it's remembering that somehow like a file history feature would. I went to the advanced section & cleared the extracted files & online cache folders, but that didn't fix the issue because I still see them. I don't see a setting for DS11 to remember (or not) file/folder history like I do in some programs, but maybe I missed it. I added a couple of screenshots. Here's where I first found some deleted/uninstalled themes. I circled the area in red for clarification:

Here's another area I found some uninstalled/deleted themes. This was at the end of the list, but I included it just in case:

Definitely seems like a file history setting to me. Maybe there's a setting to clear the old/uninstalled themes & I missed it, but I'm not sure. When I was using DS10, I just opened the folder & deleted the themes that I didn't need, so maybe those got leftover somehow when I upgraded to DS11 & it remembered them somehow. Would like to know how to get rid of them so they don't show up in my list. I know I can right-click to select & delete them, but I can't seem to delete more than 1 at a time using that method. Figured that was worth mentioning...  

Those are all the Templates that are shown there are no others , with Dream Maker Pro you can use one of those templates and make

changes to it if you want before render , or you can Start with a new Jpeg static image and make up your own animation.

Once you have created a new animation you can save that file along with the static image for future use again or a reminder

of the animations you used to create that animation . 

If you have other questions about Dream Maker Pro you can post them in a new thread ( Best ) or PM me if needed .

DS11 Templates

Hi.

W11 Final v22000.258 here.

Hardware is Ryzen 5800x, B550 Chipset, Nvidia 3060Ti

Whenever I apply an animated wallpaper and switch desktops with "CTRL+WIN+LEFT or RIGHT ARROW", DS11 force quits and returns desktop to its original wallpaper.

Since I change desktops continuously I haven´t been able to use DS11 at all.

Please fix.

Thanks.

I would like to have a filter in place, so I can sort away all themes that are not 4K. 

Hi,

I'm using DeskScapes 11 (with Object Docks) and I keep having this problem (wallpaper being shattered at the bottom) :



I tried every monitor settings (fit, stretch, center, etc...) but none could fix this.

My video card is GeForce RTX 2060. On my desktop I have Widget Launcher (from Microsoft store) and Nexus Dock (http://www.winstep.net/nexus.asp)

Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks in advance.
