These are some of the most popular .dreams (animated wallpapers) submitted to Dream.WinCustomize.Com throughout the month of April.  To use .dreams (animated wallpaper) you need to have Windows Vista and Stardock’s DeskScapes (free) installed.  If you are an Object Desktop subscriber, you have beta access to DeskScapes 2.0 which will run on virtually any version of Vista.

The DeskScapes 2.0 preview release has arrived! No longer will .dreams be limited to Vista Ultimate only.  If you have Windows Vista you can download the DeskScapes 2.0 preview and check out some of the included animated wallpapers.

Stardock is pleased to announce that the DeskScapes 2.0 preview version is now available. DeskScapes allows users of Windows Vista to have animated wallpapers on their desktop. It runs the Stardock created .DREAM format which can contain videos as animated wallpapers or dynamically generated content. The goal of the preview version is to evaluate the variety of hardware configurations out there running Windows Vista in order to see how well different types of Dreams run. The three included Dreams were especially chosen to check out 3 very different types of capabilities.

January started the year off great, and going in to February, submissions to the .dream gallery just keep getting better and better. We have several .dream creators starting to make quite a name for themselves, and I am still very excited for what we will see throughout the year.

Download links to all the featured .dreams can be found at the link below.
