"Nifty but Does Not Play Nice with Other Apps"
Version: DeskScapes 3.50
Pros
- One of the slickest wallpaper animators on the market today.
- Good user following, provides a good selection for customizations.
- Very affordable, at only US$20.Cons
- Upon installation, all but *3* of my taskbar icons no longer displayed! I lost direct access to essentials such as Steam, Dropbox, WD Smartware, OpenOffice Quickstart, etc. Uninstall alone does not restore them; must then restart Windows. I confirmed that it was DeskScapes that is causing this problem by against reinstalling it, and watching my taskbar icons disappear again.
- Also removed access to RocketDock after it autohides. I can no longer bring it back forward, until I uninstalled DeskScapes.Summary
Not sure if it's a bug in just the current version, an incompatibility, or just a limitation of the engine that it has to take over certain resources in order to do its thing. But losing access to so much else is just not acceptable for what essentially is just nifty flair and eye candy. (I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, if that makes a difference.) All other of my apps, even my customization ones (RocketDock, Rainmeter, etc.) play nice together. If only DeskScapes played nice as well, then I would have bought it immediately after seeing what it was capable of.

"Overloaded my processor."
Version: DeskScapes 3.50
Pros
It's a nice animated desktop program, with good graphics.
Cons
Overloads the processor. I have an HP Quad-core processor with 6 Gigs of memory running Windows 7 65bit and it overload only (1) of (4) Cores, but still slowed down. the system.

"out of the world experience"
Version: DeskScapes 3.50
Pros
an actual video for your background/wallpaper is too good to be true. But for once it is true.
Cons
beside .dream the only format is WMV. hope we could use MP4 too.
Summary
buy the paid version. at $20 (approx) it is a throwaway price.
