Nothing works
Nothing works. Software is useless, as far as I can tell. I want to get rid of it, but I can't uninstall it... and I can't delete it from my computer. It's just there, and has no intention of letting me send it away.

Webb,
Sorry to hear you are having issues, however, this reads more like a support issue than a review. For such things, we ask that clients post in our forums so we can work with them to resolve any they are experiencing.

Looking forward to working with you on them, Webb.

I can hardly express my disappointment.
I can hardly express my disappointment.
The in-app editor is used for creating a Dream file. I create, and it works.
Then the b****y DeskScape app won't play the video because some codec is missing?!
It made the file itself!!
Talk about disappoint. It's like if I thought my dad would be offering me a new car for Christmas, only to find a dead pony in the garage.
I love for the most part Stardock's apps, though, an unsolicited requester popped up asking me to review Deskscape - and I decided to react on it.

Sorry to hear you are having issues, Joe.
This is indeed a place for app reviews but this reads like a support issue, a solvable one at that.
When you have completed your work with the pony, reach out to us here and Ill work with you personally on it:

Excellant product
Excellant product. Deskscape's wallpaper editing outpaces Windows 11's capabilities. Downloading Wallpaper from inside the software is convenient. And reasonably-priced.

Major issues with the install, flaged as malware and when you need help, their service is non existant.

Sorry to read you had issues, Nic.
Clearly, DeskScapes does not have included with it any 'malware'. This is what would be considered a 'false-positive' from whatever application you are employing for such things.
That said, if you are having issues with any of our apps, we work with clients every day \ all day on them in our forums. If you have not already done so, please create your own thread here and we will be happy to assist:

Very long term customer
I have been a customer of Stardock since 1998. Over the years I have used many of their products and Deskcscapes in one of my most used right now. after Start11 and of course where I started, with Windowblinds.

Creates a beautiful animated desktop
Creates a beautiful animated desktop. When you're working on a confuser all day long, it's nice to have a animated desktop to take your mind off of things if just for a moment.

Does what it says on the tin
My review is for Stardock's Deskscapes app. It does what it says on the tin -- pretty low CPU usage, animated backgrounds. Lots of backgrounds included, plus you can download and add your own.

Wasn’t for me but customer service is great
After having compatibility issues on my system (I had a very strange setup, not their fault) with most of Object Desktop, I requested a refund. The refund completed within 2 hours with no questions asked.

I've been using it for about 2 months…
I've been using it for about 2 months now on Windows 11. It's exactly everything I was wanting. I'm insanely happy with it. I liked the previous Windows 10 start menu, but the additional features like making the background 100% black was something I am so happy with. I just love it
