Try the DeskScapes 10 Beta Now
Stardock is pleased to announce a major new version of DeskScapes
Personalize your desktop wallpaper with animations, pictures and video.

The new version includes updates based on customer feedback such as:

  • A new wallpaper manager, complete with the ability to mark “favorite” backgrounds, as well as modifying and saving both static and animated wallpapers.
  • Seamless WinCustomize library integration allows direct browsing and downloading of backgrounds from within the application.
  • Comes in light and dark theme modes to suit your personal tastes.
  • Supports h264 videos with hardware accelerated decoding where possible.
  • New additional effects you can apply to static and animated wallpapers which can now easily be combined and ordered.

 

The DeskScapes UI has had a complete overhaul

As well as the obvious dark / light mode, the interface now splits the list in to folders allowing improved management of your backgrounds.

 

DeskScapes now allows you to browse the WinCustomize library directly from the app

Directly browsing the WinCustomize library from within the application puts new backgrounds a click away and offers greater exposure of new Deskscapes and wallpaper backgrounds to other users.

 

Apply effects and now apply more than one at once

If you've ever found yourself loading up an image into a photo editing app to tweak it to make for a better desktop background, look no further than DeskScapes 10.  The beta includes over 60 effects, along with the ability to combine multiple effects to give users the ability to turn pretty much any image or video file into a usable desktop background.

 

DeskScapes 10 beta is available for Object Desktop subscribers today.
A stand-alone version is expected to be released this Spring.

The good ol standard .. IrfanView, also lets you set an image as your basic Windows wallpaper too.  When you're viewing an image, click the Options menu at the top and near the bottom you'll see.. Set as Wallpaper > (sub-menu has various ways to set it as wallpaper). I know a few people who'd never even think of doing it another way since it's their main image viewer/converter/etc.  Hope that helps with your dilemma.  Let us know.

Ah, I know that Win10 has a separate setting for system background color.  It's been a while since I dealt with Win7 but, it probably does as well and it sounds like yours is set at white.  ~Someone else here who can confirm/expand on this aspect of Win7...~

Myrddin, the issue is with video/animated wallpapers, not images.  But thanks for the input.

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought it was the background/wallpaper after turning Deskscapes off.  My bad.

on Mar 27, 2019

Understood. That subject was touched on as well.  My bad.

Wish I knew how to fix this. It never happened with Deskscapes 8.

As I mentioned before I'm running Win 7 Ultimate x64.

If you then use Windows to set a desktop image:

Then repeat the process, does it work then?

No. Every time I disable the desktop is blank

I have my own wall changer. Also, when My computer starts and I use right click the desktop does the same thing.

Disable your own wall changer .. Reboot.

and test DS10 and report back.

No change

I have my own wall changer.

When you said your own wall changer, is that a program that control how your wallpaper display? If so, is it possible to uninstall it?

Thank you,

I did not uninstall Wallpaper Master.

Today I just installed DS 10 beta 2.

Two hiccups

1 When I want to change dreams, I have to disable to pick another.

2 When I disabe DS the desktop still appears with  a frozen image of the Dream I was running, Now all I have to do is hit WIN key + 1 and my wall is back to normal.

So far good

I can live with this since it is beta

on Apr 09, 2019


I did not uninstall Wallpaper Master.

Well since you have two wallpaper manager in one system. From what I know, there will always be possibility of conflict between them even if you have them disabled.

on Apr 09, 2019

I have one wallpaper program. Been using it for many years without problems.

Also, had no problems with DS 8 and Wallpaper program.
