mipf Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Video: Instructions: Enable you DreamScene Windows Vista Ultimate Set video as DreamScene video wallpaper: 1. Right-click on the desktop. 2. Select Personalize. 3. Select Desktop Background. 4. From the Location dropdown, select Videos or Public Videos, or you can also choose Browse to the location of your video file to select video in not common place that is not detected. 5. Select a video that is to become desktop background. 6. Click OK Windows Vista lower version: Download this hxxp://hotfile.com/dl/20229148/249f505/dreamscene.html And follow this Tutorial: hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMWV0sLHWVg Windows XP Download This: hxxp://hotfile.com/dl/20229263/e6a6d1b/XpScene-Run.html Extract it using WinRAR... Now Run XPScene, 1. select input video (*.wmv, *.mpg or *.avi) and select Resize Mode: Use "stretch" to avoid black bars, or "keep aspect ratio" for best quality (default, recommended). 2. select output folder (to store video and html-file), 3. click "Create" button. Now you can select your DreamScene html-file by clicking "Display Properties > Desktop > Background > Browse". ((use HTML file as wallpaper )) XP System Requirements: =================== The XPScene tool needs the Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework to run correctly. XPScene is only needed to create the DreamScene html-file, it is not needed to run the created DreamScene file as video background. To smoothly run DreamScene videos on Windows XP a 3.0 GHz single core CPU (or better) and 1024 MB Ram (or more) is recommended. In addition, a graphics card with DirectX hardware video acceleration can dramatically reduce cpu usage (all newer NVIDIA and ATI cards). Windows 7 Download this: hxxp://hotfile.com/dl/20226684/2990356/Windows7-DreamScene.exe.html Run the Windows7-DreamScene.exe as Administrator to install and enable Windows DreamScene on Windows 7. The installer will copy DreamScene.dll to %WinDir%\System32 folder, DreamScene.dll.mui to %WinDir%\System32\en-US folder and add the required registry keys and values. Then it will automatically restart the Explorer to make the installation of DreamScene works immediately. A Windows DreamScene folder has also been created in %WinDir%\Web\ folder. You can place any video file that you want to set as DreamScene background wallpaper here as in Windows Vista, or anywhere you like. However, the folder is less useful as Windows 7 does not support direct viewing of video or animated media in Personalization Control Panel. To apply a video clip (in .WMV or .MPG format) as the DreamScene animated wallpaper desktop background, right click on the video media file, and select Set as Desktop Background in the context menu. Due to DreamScene been stripped from Windows 7 issue, video files may not be visible inside Personalization and Desktop Background configuration page. However, all features of DreamScene, such as Play DreamScene, Pause DreamScene and sound/audio are supported.

mipf Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Wow, it's Vista only... it actually works on Windows 7, XP and Vista. Though, Vista is the only one officially supporting DreamScene, but i included workarounds for 7 and XP..

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted December 13, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted December 13, 2009 I think it looks pretty bad and would suck for an operating system like Windows. I'll leave it on my PS3/PSP thanks :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/854636-transform-your-desktop-into-ps3-xmb-style/#findComment-591964768 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mipf Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 nice, will give it a go now! BTW will this work on 64 windows7, and have just noticed that my CPU is not @ 50%-75% all this time, i have E6300 @ 3.8Ghz, i though this was ment to use the video card, i have a GTX 260+. its actually using light resources.. its not that CPU/GPU intensive.. as for the 64bit, some guy is having trouble running DreamScene on it. im using it 32bit Windows 7 and DreamScene works like its built into it. Let me know if it works on your 64bit. Anyone tried the Win7 Dreamscene thing? I have a bad feeling about it messing up my system oO Im actually using it on my 7, and it doesnt mess anything up. Its just like its made for it, like Windows Vista Ultimate. I think it looks pretty bad and would suck for an operating system like Windows. I'll leave it on my PS3/PSP thanks :p it actually sucks of big resolution. But if your on 720p or barely above that, it really shines. On my demo video, im @ 1440x900 res, so it does look very minimalistic. Not so much on the screen.

mipf Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 i have a question,why does the animation stop when i unplug my laptop? thats because of your unplugged state POWER plan.. check your power plan settings. At least they gave KoL credit for his Wallpaper all the creators of the resources here are credited for their work. what i did is to share the download links and to give a lil bit of tutorial.

carmatic Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 i wish that they ported the entire menu system onto Windows, not just the background and icons... something like what Sony have done with their Vaio laptops i think?
