It's been on the skinners' 'wish-list' for eons ....

I'll echo that.

I remember the days of trying to use a giant animated .gif on the Active Desktop (which usually made the whole system crash after about 30 seconds of trying to run it), and some of the horrible and crippling programs that hit the 'net shortly after "The Matrix" was released where people were trying to emulate that scrolling green funky text on the desktop. Actually, remembering it now makes my sking crawl a little.

This is so much more elegant and hardware-friendly. Stardock rocks! (And I guess someone should give MS at least a little credit for finally moving into the 21st century and making all this possible.)

Wow!  I'm really impressed... going to have to install it pretty soon then, just to keep up with the rush!

(By the way, is a terrabyte a handful of gravel or something? )

It's when you face-plant off a motorbike....

Gah....I wasn't gonna do the math....ran out of fingers....

If Aero can be done in XP with Windowblinds, can Dreamscene be made for XP as well? Or is there a licensing aspect to the MS/Stardock agreement that prevents you from making such a thing? I'd love this in XP...

curiosity is a little different from true mass interest. i'm not judging or anything, but after seeing the couple low resolution busy examples to kick off the product (and i downloaded every one), im not terribly impressed or overwhelmed, and in fact back to a single frame background. hopefully some subtle dynamic backgrounds will change my opinion, or just really well done high res-widescreen videos.

There hopefully will be improvements in it's stability. It seems to lock up my video driver, and when it does that it (Vista) recovers but turns the screen black. I'm using the latest nVidia Vista driver (Version: 97.46).

97.46 is far from the latest nvidia driver.  They have some 100 series Vista ones I believe.

Your instability problems will be a problem that nvidia need to fix.  Their drivers are not where they should be currently.

I'm trying to make a Dream with Dream Maker but when i click to make it , I get an error message saying - An attempt was made to load a incorrect format ( Exception from HRESULT:0x8007000B ) - first I tried an mpeg2 video 64MB's then I tried a .WMV file just 11 MB's - i also did the thumbnail at 256 and 225 - NOTHING WORKS !!!! It won't make the dream when i click continue anyway NOTHING --- So what's the fix ??? HELP . Please ... Thanks Mike Watts ( AzDude ) azdudemp@cox.net - e-mail ...

Post your question to ONE thread only please.  There is no need to spam the forums and email with the same problem over and over.

The 'latest' nVidia driver is 100.64
