GBDeskscapes is Great! I really like having videos as my wallpaper. Deskscapes installed well. Accessing and using settings was easy and clear. It worked well as expected, even with 10 hour space videos from Youtube. Only complaint I have is with how it handles sound. Even though I set the sound to 0, I still hear sound. I have to mute the sound in windows sound settings to get no sound. Also, I am using a playlist and have it set to change every hour. It is not doing that. It only changes when I reboot or the video ends (I am using 10 hour videos). Other than those two things, It works Great! The selection of backgrounds animated backgrounds available is extensive. Definitely worth the money.

GBvery good program very good program. it turns your desktop into a work of art. You can choose between animated screens, stills pictures, and your own personal photos to make your desktop original and uniquely yours. I have a subscription to wincustomize too which gives you an opportunity to further customize your windows version.

GBI went to obtain some more Descapes 11… I went to obtain some more Descapes 11 backgrounds and the Stardock website made that extremely easy.

DEGreat Software and amazing Games First of all, i am very satisfied with Startdocks Products, Sins of a Solar Empire 1 and 2 i purchased both as a Fan and RTS Lover, so amazing Games, they offer really large tech trees, huge variety of units and so much more. As Windows 11 came out, i missed the old windows 10 side Bar Menu, which allowed pinning of apps and so on. That is where Start 11 came in, it has a beautiful design and its a must have for windows 11 users. (I cant live without it anymore) V2 adds more, but the upgrading process is not that detailed explained. (If someone is looking for an answer, google for the Start11 v2 Upgrade FAQ Post.) Overall, i had a great experience with Startdock over many years and i will continue to support them :)

GBBruh Personally, it was... not great. Mainly DeskScapes. When I first started it up, it prompted me to use a product key or use my account. So, being without a product key, I created a Stardock account and used the other way. Or... "tried to", at least. Everytime I did try to log in with my account, it brought me to another window, saying "this account isn't associated with DeskScapes". I tried and tried again, even downloading another DeskScapes launcher after I created my account, but it STILL wouldn't work. So, I just gave up and clicked 30-day trial instead. Safe to say, my experience didn't go as well as it showed on the website. I just wanted to upload my own gif file as my background, but I had to go to a different website to do that, plus create another account... which is just a little annoying at this point. That's not even the last problem, either. When I picked a random animated background from the DeskScapes window, a moon shining over a moving lake/river as I recall, it showed up as if it was 144p and just left a bad taste in my mouth. Truthfully, I'm sorry to say all of that. I know it's all probably problems on my end, but... honestly? DeskScapes, for me, was pretty bad.
