Will DeskScapes be able to use screensavers as Dreams?

from WinCustomize Forums
Hi, just purchased Desktop Objekts and I wonder if DeskScapes will be able to use screensavers to be played as Dreams on the desktop?! I´ve seen this feature in the past while trying a similar software (don´t know the name anymore), but it didn´t work stable. If it isn´t still on your plan - now you get it on your todo list;-) Greets TeX

As far as I know this was never in the plan for DeskScapes.

It would be a great!!! I imagine it should be possible to output the signal from any program directly to the desktop.

Please add this feature!!!

Hopefully, it would be a more elegant solution than the xxx.scr /p[handle number] approach that seems to be popular, but only works for screensavers included in the Windows build.

This would be a very nice feature - but since it's been seven years, I guess it turned out to be too difficult?

No and it's a feature of Deskscapes 8. Just choose the "apply as my screensaver" choice in the apply drop down in the configuration screen.

The other way around - Not using a Deskscape Dream as a screensaver, but using any Windows screensaver as a animated desktop background - aka as a Desckscape Dream. Bubbles.scr, Mystify.scr, Ribbons.scr ... or other screensavers that you download elsewhere.
