DeskScapes 8 Beta Bug Reports
How to unload.....
Thursday, January 31, 2013 by RedneckDude | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Hey Neil, how do we unload DeskScapes 8 Beta?
I can't find a way to unload and the help link points to help for version 3.25.

The random option is currently not in the beta until we decide on how best to expose it from a UI point of view.

Tried to delete a Dream I downloaded today from within Deskscapes 8 by right clicking on it and deleting, but it did not work. Tried multiple times too. Had to go into the folder and delete it manually. If you try to delete a wallpaper though from within Deskscapes 8, it works fine.

To Neil Banfield, Thanks for the info! on the Random Wallpaper Option.

Any third monitor has always applied what was on the primary monitor unless specifically set. This is how DeskScapes has handled multiple monitors since we introduced support for different dreams on different monitors.
The rule DeskScapes follows is unless a dream is set on a specific screen, use the primary dream.
Ok then, makes sense I guess. I assume it remembers the settings for a 3rd monitor, even if its connected and disconnected lots. However there must be some bug, as this does occur, where sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Just now for example I connected the 3rd monitor and it applied the primary monitors DS to all 3 monitors, even though monitor 2 has a different DS, and I have set the 3rd monitors DS to be different from the primaries countless times.

Deskscapes8 is pretty, but why is it when I choose the "Custom background" option in settings, the dream doesn't accept my choice of background?

Which dream are you using?

It does still apply a dream to both monitors even if Apply to monitor 1 is selected. The secondary monitor gets the first dream in my list, every time.

My dreams only take up a small part of the screen. Why won't they occupy the full screen? Setting them to stretch does not stretch them to the full screen... even the 1080 wallpapers do not take the full screen. I am using a surface pro

Dreams you made? Or dreams that came with D8?
What DPI are you set to use?

I have a Sony Vaio Duo 11 w/ Windows 8 Pro - it runs the same 1920x1080 as the Surface Pro that onxystardock is using. I have the display scaling set to 150% to make screen elements from showing up tiny at such a high resolution, but that is what causes Deskscapes 8 to show a tile of the Dream instead of full screen (it shows up in the upper left hand corner.
If I scale that magnification down to 100% the Dream looks fine and fills up the whole screen. The problem is then everything gets super tiny and unreadable.

I have 2 monitors which are always on. I then have a 3rd monitor (a TV) connected via a displayport in the graphics card. Whenever I turn the 3rd monitor (TV) on, the deskscapes do their own thing. Sometimes they work like 3.5 did, and the secondary monitors DS would also be displayed on the 3rd monitor (desired effect), however about 50% of the time the primary monitors DS is displayed on all 3 monitors.
When I turn the 3rd monitor off (so its disconnected) about 75% of the time it resorts back to the correct and desired settings (monitor 1 has DS1, monitor 2 has DS2), however 25% of the time, the primary monitors DS is left on both monitors. This was not an issue in 3.5 running on Win7.
TL;DR: Beta doesn't work like 3.5 did, where the secondary monitors DS is applied to a new (3rd) monitor. It sometimes is, but not very often.
Any third monitor has always applied what was on the primary monitor unless specifically set. This is how DeskScapes has handled multiple monitors since we introduced support for different dreams on different monitors.
The rule DeskScapes follows is unless a dream is set on a specific screen, use the primary dream.
