We have been producing some additional triggered animated wallpapers for DeskScapes. Some of these are video based .dreams and some are more dynamic using still images that will change over the course of a day. 

There are more coming out, but I wanted to highlight a few to start the week off.

See more animated wallpapers for DeskScapes here.

Looking Up at the Sky

Day and night sky triggered animated wallpaper of a "looking up" scene in the mountains.

Day at the Beach

Triggered animated wallpaper showing 3 different beach scenes for sunrise, afternoon, and sunset.

We officially entered spring this past weekend and I hope that you are having some fantastic weather! I've been changing the wallpaper on my laptop quite often, and most of them have been images of beautiful spring landscapes. I wanted to share some of our favorites so you can also have a great looking spring desktop.

We are already at the halfway point of March, so I thought now was a suitable time to look at some of the latest new and updated skins for WindowBlinds uploaded to WinCustomize. 

Let us know if you have a recent favorite!

I didn't realize that spring officially started on March 20th of this year. For whatever reason I thought it was next month, so I guess the new season is just around the corner. Spring is always a fun time for themes as there are tons of beautiful spring wallpapers, and we have a nice variety of other skins to make a fresh, colorful desktop for the warmer weather.

I'm going to highlight some favorites and get some featured on WinCustomize, but if you have a spring inspired skin or know of some, post the links in the comments so I can add them to upcoming articles.

A new month means another desktop screenshot thread on the forums! I'm getting ready to switch mine up again, but today I'm still rocking a Curtains theme and wallpaper found here on WinCustomize. Post your desktop and share with others what skins and themes you are using.

Stardock’s Tiles 2 Now Available, Adds Multiple Desktops to Windows PCs

Create multiple desktops of related programs, files, and links through the use of a customizable sidebar on the Windows desktop

Stardock released a new v2.0 update for the popular Windows® customization tool, Tiles™, today.

Tiles is a program that lets you create multiple desktops of related programs, files, and links through the use of a customizable sidebar on your Windows desktop. You can drag programs onto the sidebar by holding the shift key, and it will create a thumbnail of that application so that you can find it easily.

You can have multiple pages of Tiles and categorize and label them however you want, allowing you to organize your tasks in an efficient and visually appealing way. You can click through your lists of tiles and swipe left/right easily to access your other groups. Additionally, you can adjust the size and position of where your Tiles bar sits.

Tiles 2 Features

• NEW! Light/Dark Mode Support and integration with Stardock's Curtains
• NEW! Full Groupy integration - see your groups in your Tiles pages
• NEW! Show only minimized or maximized windows
• NEW! High DPI monitor support
• Quickly switch between active and inactive tasks
• Create custom pages to suit your computing style
• Swiftly move from one application to the next
• Quickly view and manage running applications

Tiles is now available standalone for $9.99 or
through Stardock's Object Desktop™ suite for $29.99.
If you're already an Object Desktop member, Tiles is waiting for you in your account!

How often do you change your desktop wallpaper? For my main PCs I usually have a folder of wallpapers I like and have them change throughout the day. It keeps the desktop updated with a new scene often, and it makes my desktop a little less boring. 

We're trying to build up a nice, curated wallpaper gallery here on WinCustomize, and the integration with DeskScapes 11 is going to make that an excellent feature to have.

So, let's highlight a few of the recent wallpaper submissions!

Looking at the Curtains gallery this week, and I wanted to highlight the top 3 Curtains themes that are available to download here on WinCustomize. Curtains comes with several great styles already installed, but if you want to branch out then come see what other members have been downloading recently.

We used to have a software wiki many years ago with entries for all of Stardock software and WinCustomize. Unfortunately, all its data was lost quite a long time ago and it was a nice resource that was missed. The good news is we've been building a new wiki just for software and it's ready to go!

As it is a wiki there is still some work to do with updates and such, but overall, this is a great resource for information on specific software. If you need to easily find changelogs, tutorials, blogs, videos, etc. then each software wiki will have those available. I've updated many of the software tutorials and articles to keep them updated with the latest changes, but there's still lots more to do.

Check out our new software wikis here!
