DreamScene

DreamScene "Preview" has arrived in the Ultimate Extras feature in the windows update thingy. It comes with an animated desktop (the default picture) with an aurora effect, and can play any mp3 video as your desktop background.



mp3s eat processor time, but the MS supplied backdrop doesn't after a few passes. It's a pointless bit of eye candy, but does look good.



Have fun all!

 

ya I noticed that and downloaded it, it slows my pc down a lot tho. when the desktop is exposed.

 

Wow this is great. Not slowing me down a bit. I love it.

 

I hadn't even thought about it animating whilst I wasn't watching it. Before I drift off into some philosophical nonsense about it being the same as trees falling in forests with nobody around to hear, I have noticed that it freezes during the 3D flip thingy, or even if you do the old fashioned alt-tab whereas other windows don't, they keep on moving.

 

Nothing on the extra's in Holland this time too. This is getting ridiculous. We even pay more than Americans for the Ultimate version.

 

Ive got a HD trailer of supreme commander running in the background and have no slowdowns at all. Flip 3d and alt tab work just like they did with a picture background.

I'm loving it, but sometimes it makes me a bit dizzy :hehe:

 

dang it, my laptop's video card is too slow...Time to build up a desktop!

 

Yea i had a video of Crysis high def running but i had to change it, i kept loosing my pointer in all the action, lol. Now I'm using the psychedelic looking one.

 

Don't forget to download DeskScapes which is an enhancement to DreamScene. It will allow dynamic/live content, and triggers (coming soon).

I got dreamscene to work on a vista home basic VM

 

Common now you know you gotta post up a how to on that one,

 

Geez, how much ram is that thing using?

 

900mb. It only works if I close all the programs on the VM and the host OS.
