It looks really nice
Cons
-It doesn't have that many animated wallpapers -Sometimes the animated wallpapers stop moving (on windows 10 at least)
Summary
If you have windows 7 this product might be worth the money when it's on discount

Good for awesome computers but NOT for gaming computers
CubbilyJuly 20, 2014
Pros
- cool backgrounds and plenty to choose from - looks cool - hardly any bugs
Cons
- Only awesome computers with high RAM and a good processor can handle it. - Gaming: full screen games tend to cause major glitchiness that can only be solved by restarting.
Summary
Overall, its a great cool app (and one of the best out there) but im a PC gamer... so i prefer my PC running in tip-top shape after a game rather than having a cool moving background to brag about. if you dont game, and you have lotsa RAM and a good processor (mine is a 3.00 Ghz), then go for it.
Nice pictures and dreamscapes... I like it.

Pros
There is nothing
Cons
Installed and it gives me a notice that the trial version I am trying to install is out of date. Too bad, looks awesome.
Summary
<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Sep 1, 2012<p/>Doesn't work. I download it from the link and install. Upon running I get notified that I need the latest version and it gives me a link. The link takes me to the same version I had. Too bad, looks awesome.
Good Product

Pros
A live wallpaper is cool to look at. Huge database of users that upload new images to the site.
Cons
It would be better if the wallpapers had an option to play sound with the wallpapers. The price should be about half of what their asking. I don't see a need to pay $20.00 for something that ill glance at on occasion. That's what a screensaver is for. And it can be a distraction sometimes or just to much. If they had more static wallpapers with very little movement I would have given this five stars; oh and the price issue as well.
Summary
For all complaints about missing icons, task bars, docks, folders etc., after installing; can be fixed easily. After initial installation you MUST restart your computer. After that everything should be fine. Some animated wallpapers use more ram than others. So instead of just panicking and uninstalling it, restart your computer, if that doesn't fix it then go ahead. If you have slow system then choose a wallpaper that requires the least resources. On their website they tell you the system requirements for each dreamscape wallpaper.
Uninstalled 15 minutes after installing

Nifty but Does Not Play Nice with Other Apps
stellarfireflyJanuary 31, 2012
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.
