Manually adding wallpapers and Dreams

    I'm trying to find out how to manually add wallpapers to Deskscapes 10. I found the physical folder for adding Dreams at "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\Dreams", but I have been unable to find where it's getting the still wallpapers from. While some may have been bundled with the Dreams I downloaded and installed, there are countless other wallpapers I have never seen before. They didn't come with any Dreams that I downloaded, and I haven't found any from my Pictures that I would like to use. Does anyone happen to know the physical location of where the wallpapers are installed at? Or if there is a way to drag and drop them into Deskscapes 10 that I'm just missing?

    I found a PDF (posted in the link) but it's for Deskscapes version 3.2. It's quite outdated. Deskscapes doesn't even look anything like it now. Is there a PDF for Deskscapes 10 version somewhere? If so, if anyone could post the link, I would greatly appreciated it. A PDF would really help navigating it's use. Thank you in advance!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. You can add your own additional folders for Deskscape to use. Just click "Manage Folders" (Buttom left)-> "Add button" and browse to that folders you wish to add. As for other image that you don't know where it come from. Those most probably came from pre-added folders by the installer. refer to screenshot below.

    Now I can add my background as a still. This helps out a lot. Thank you! XD  

    I still need to know where it's getting the other wallpapers from. As I stated before, while some might have come bundled with installed Dreams, I don't recognize any of them. They don't look anything like any of the Dreams I downloaded. For one, there are way too many. It must have almost 400 stills, and they are not from my Pictures.

    It seems strange to me for Stardock to make so many different folders, under so many different areas of Windows Explorer. I've found folders and files under "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock", "C:\Users\My PC name\AppData\Local\Stardock", "C:\Users\My PC name\AppData\Roaming\Stardock", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock", and "C:\ProgramData\Stardock"!  It's insane! I'm also super curious as to what "C:\ProgramData\Stardock\DeskScapes\ExtractedData" is for since it's empty.

    "C:\Users\My PC name\AppData\Local\Stardock\LockScreens" is one that I found that has images that can be added too without using the Deskscapes program itself.

    However, I have also downloaded some effects from Wincustomize. I need to know where to install them too, as they are still in a Zip, and must be upacked in order for it to be installed correctly.

    Again, if anyone know where and how to install regular wallpapers and effects, please let me know.

    Thank you in advance!
