I believe the Stardock team are aware of this issue and are working to fix it as quickly as possible. Hopefully we will see this working again soon. Thanks for your report.

Throughout History, most new technology has been perceived as evil at first. Some even feared the telephone when it was invented. Some doubted its practical utility, seeing it as a mere novelty rather than a serious communication tool. The same was true when the Internet was first introduced. So, who among you can go a week without access? The Stardock server outage has been a huge reminder of how much we rely on it. <span class="pjBG2e" data-cid="6857d93c-a0f3-45db-be8a-512a965bde56"

[quote who="AeroPurple" reply="28" id="3965343"] Yes! And that's precisely why AI is the worst thing to use here - it literally can't feel emotions, and cannot create anything meaningful without copying already existing material. [/quote] AeroPurple, you know I respect you, and your art has given me much happiness, but I have to disagree. AI is a tool, just like your paint brushes. It's the user (artist) that controls the image on the canvas. The artist imagines some

[quote who="robk39" reply="7" id="3965337"] Try gorgeous lake sunset by cyberslober [/quote] Seems to work fine here. Does it run for a few seconds and then hang, or it just won't run. Have you tried restarting Explorer? Also, what version of Windows (use winver.exe) and DeskScapes are you running? What version of the Nvidia driver are you running?

After spending some time with this, most Dreams run fine. I have one which was downloaded yesterday https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/dream/15288/ which hangs once applied. If I restart Explorer, it seem to run fine. Which Dreams are you having trouble with? Please let me know so I can test them.

I think it has something to do with the latest Nvidia Driver. I installed 576.02 this morning, and I'm seeing this same problem. Dreams will run for a little while and then stop. Restarting Explorer seems to fix it. I'll work on this today and try to figure it out.

[quote who="JRAltd" reply="6" id="3965252"] Oh, ok I understand. Yeah, I want to shrink it towards the center closer to the Start Button on each side.

In my opinion, AI skins would be a positive. Isn't the whole idea of skins to allow a user to customize their screen to create an emotional attachment to their environment. If you can create using AI, and keep prompting until you get something you enjoy, that's a good thing. I personally don't like a bunch of stuff on my screen, because I like to display art. My screen is a 40" 4K monitor and I really like displaying the art from WinCustomize. I had gone back through all the Wallpaper

I know the anxiety I feel when I do something stupid and cause my computer to crash, and not restart. My first anxious thought is that I'm going to have to rebuild everything from scratch! That's at least a week long task. Thankfully, I make image backups twice a week, and most of my files are backed up on OneDrive. I can't imagine the anxiety that everyone at Stardock was feeling when things crashed. It must have been a nightmare! I am so glad the restoration of the site(s) i
