DeskScapes 3 Released!
Animated wallpapers for Windows 7
Wednesday, November 11, 2009 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Stardock, the world leader in Windows desktop customization, released Deskscapes 3 today. DeskScapes is a unique program that allows users to customize their Windows desktop wallpaper with effects, animation and a variety of other options. DeskScapes 3 adds support for Windows 7 and includes a host of effects that users can apply to their existing traditional desktop backgrounds.
DeskScapes 3 also includes a new configuration interface that lets users easily mix and match between different types of wallpaper. Natively, DeskScapes supports its own popular DREAM format which lets users use video or dynamically generated animated wallpaper. Version 3 extends this format to support what are called “Hybrid dreams” that let users mix and match static images and animation designed to provide easy to create animated wallpaper that are also practical and visually exciting.
Because DeskScapes uses the new Windows compositor in Windows 7 and has a native 64-bit version, users of Windows 7 are able to make use of animation and effects with no effect on system performance.
DeskScapes 3 can be downloaded at Stardock’s website. It costs $19.95 to register it or can be purchased as part of Stardock’s Object Desktop suite of desktop enhancement utilities.

I've also had installation problems with this 'previous version installed' error. I finally got it to say that its installed but Object Desktop Launchpad does not recognize it as being installed. If i click on the shaded button it asks if i want to open Impulse and install it. I cannot get it to show up as installed on launchpad.

So do I have to buy this version? Or will the older version just update to this for free? Because I just re-installed impulse earlier today after setting up my rig with a clean install of Win7 and downloaded DeskScapes but it's Version 2.5.
Bump?
That depends on how and when you purchased DS 2.5.
If you have a current ObjectDesktop subscription then the upgrade is free and it should be showing up in Impulse. If you purchased the standalone version then if you purchased it within the last couple of months then the upgrade should be free, otherwise it is a $8.95 upgrade which can be done from here :

Damn shame, I think I'll just live without it then.
Thanks for the response, Neil.
