Tomorrow, Stardock will announce DeskScapes 2.0 – the second version of its desktop background visualiser tool for Windows Vista. Formerly DeskScapes was an extension to the DreamScene extra, allowing for dynamic generated “Dreams” on top of just the motion videos allowed by DreamScene itself.
From Stardock:
DeskScapes gives you the capability to animate and customize the background on your Windows desktop. Choose from the massive integrated library or use your own images or video files to personalize your desktop.
Use video and Dream files with DeskScapes to apply animated backgrounds to your desktop. The .Dream format, which DeskScapes uses, has been specially designed to contain content used to animate backgrounds. You can also apply any dream as your PC screensaver!
DeskScapes includes over 60 special effects plus colorization options to make any image or video into a fantastic, custom background. Want to create a .Dream to share? Use the included Dream Maker app to package your own animated or video creations.
Choose from over 60 effects to apply to any background. Effects include: black and white, blur, canvas texture, inverted, night vision, pop art, sepia, and animated snow, just to name a few!
Using a simple slider DeskScapes helps you apply new colors to backgrounds. Color customization can be applied to an entire image or only to select colors.
DeskScapes capabilities give you the option to have different backgrounds on each of your monitors or stretch video and static backgrounds over multiple monitors.
The user interface is intuitive and so easy to use that you can create a great looking custom desktop design with just a few clicks. An always present preview helps you see what your desktop will look like before applying effects to your new background.
