Stardock DeskScapes is an enhancement to Windows DreamScene. It extends Windows DreamScene to support dynamic, animated wallpaper as their desktop background without slowing down the computer or interfering with how you work with your computer.

DeskScapes also supports the new .Dream format. By default, Windows DreamScene supports MPEG and WMV videos as their content. The .Dream format supports adding triggers, author info, and dynamic content. Now users know if a given file has been designed to be an animated wallpaper -- if it uses the .Dream format, it's an animated wallpaper.

    Not sure what the other posters are talking about. I have DeskScapes running on my laptop (nothing fancy) with no visible use of resources. From what I have read on their site it can also depend on the type of wallpaper you are using.

    This is a cool app, I recommend it.

    WOW what a resource hog. I don't have the fastest/newest PC (Q6600 running at 3Ghz with 4gig ram) but this thing slowed even my web browsing down NOTICEABLY.

    What a waste of money and a resource hog.

    Why would anyone want this? Let alone pay for it?

    Fantastic app! I was missing my animated wallpapers in Windows 7, and now I can have them back, plus some!
