Get animated wallpaper

DeskScapes is a personalization app from Stardock Corporation that allows users to change their simple wallpapers and screensavers into lively scenery. It enables you to customize your desktop wallpaper by animating them through interesting effects. You can choose from the massive integrated library or use images and video files from your desktop computer. With this, you don’t have to settle for static desktop wallpaper.

What does DeskScapes offer?

As noted, the DeskScapes gives you the capability to animate and customize the wallpaper on your desktop. The app comes with a massive integrated library, where you can choose among hundreds of pre-made wallpapers. You can use video and Dream files with the app to apply animated wallpaper. You can even apply any dream as your PC screensaver. 

More than choosing any dream file, the app also includes a Dream Maker app in the package. With this, you can customize and create your own backgrounds. It has more than 60 special effects that you can apply to any image, including canvas texture, night vision, pop art, sepia, animated snow, and blur.

Besides that, there is are also colorization options available to make any image or video into a fantastic custom background. Using a simple slider, you can apply new colors to your chosen image and video. Not only that, but you have the choice to apply these customizations to either the entire image or only to a selected area.

How do you use DeskScapes?

Upon launching, you'll be presented with some panels at the bottom to start personalizing your background. You can filter backgrounds according to their rating, apply a random background, or recolor a portion or the entirety of your existing wallpaper. In addition, you can set the number of shapes you want or the speed of the animation. You can also create a slideshow of images and hide particular objects in the picture. 

Additionally, you can enable support for additional graphics cards and set desktop icon transparency. DeskScapes also supports multiple monitors. Not only that, but you can also have different backgrounds on each monitor. More, you can stretch these wallpapers over multiple monitors and correct aspect ratio for your secondary monitor. 

However, while the app looks visually appealing, navigating through it can be a bit confusing. The app can be a bit complicated to use at first, making it hard to create the wallpaper that you like. More than that, editing existing wallpapers may also change the quality of the original image to a lesser extent.

Make your PC look beautiful

DeskScapes is a nifty app that enables users to customize the look of their PC wallpapers and screensavers. Not only does it comes with visually stunning wallpapers, but it also lets you customize your existing wallpapers. However, the process can be a bit of work, and the navigation can be confusing. Nevertheless, seeing your artwork can be rewarding in the end.
