New Windows Vista Wallpapers Released

Since the final stages of Vista's development, many have been wondering why no official Windows Vista branded wallpaper had been included, unlike in Windows XP and earlier versions of Windows.



Today, Microsoft unveiled a new set of "Windows Vista Ultimate" branded wallpapers on the Ultimate Extras site.



There are two wallpapers available, one of which features a large version of the start orb, while the other features the new "flare" design as seen on the new Windows Vista packaging. Both wallpapers are available in a wide variety of sizes.



So, maybe Microsoft finally heard us... or maybe they were just keeping it a suprise?

Vista RTM to include animated wallpapers!

The most recent in a series of rumors about what was previously called Desktop Aurora says that the long-awaited animated desktop wallpapers would appear in Windows Vista's final release under the name "Motion Desktop", but Aurora wouldn't be the only animated wallpaper to be included with the operating system, but there would rather be three different ones.

While Aurora is obvious, an animated cherry blossom tree would also be part of it, along with another one that's still unknown as of yet.

The versions of Vista that will include the new wallpapers are currently unknown, along with the customizability degree for the user.

DeskScapes 2.0 Preview Available

Stardock is pleased to announce that the DeskScapes 2.0 preview version is now available. DeskScapes allows users of Windows Vista to have animated wallpapers on their desktop. It runs the Stardock created .DREAM format which can contain videos as animated wallpapers or dynamically generated content.



What makes DeskScapes special is that animated wallpapers can be run that use hardly any system resources (obviously this will depend on what animated wallpaper is chosen). It integrates seamlessly with the Windows Vista desktop background dialog so picking animated wallpapers is much the same as picking any other desktop wallpaper.

Animated wallpapers no longer just for the Vista elite

Animated wallpapers have been one of the “Extras” that Microsoft has touted as a selling point for customers of its priciest Windows Vista SKU. But now Stardock is bringing animated wallpapers to the Vista masses.

Stardock, a Gold Certified Microsoft partner, worked with Microsoft on DreamScene — a desktop-display feature that allows users to make looped, full-motion video their desktop wallpaper (as opposed to using static images only for background wallpaper). After a number of delays, Microsoft finally released DreamScene in September 2007.

Stardock helped to create much of the initial wallpaper content for DreamScene and then went on to release DeskScapes 1.0 for Vista Ultimate users interested in enhancing DreamScene. With DeskScapes 2.0, Stardock has decided to make animated wallpapers avaialble to users of Vista Business, Home Premium and Ultimate users. The Standard edition of the product will be available as a free download; an enhanced version with additional features and “premium” content also will be availbale for $19.95.

Get Yer' Windows 7 Stuff

Adaptation is something not one of us enjoys doing; changing your 'style' to make something work is something we do every day; it could easily be avoided.

Microsoft has worked extremely hard to make Windows 7 adapt to YOU, and make it work how and when YOU want it to. The last step in the magical transformation of Windows, is the ability to theme without patching system files. When the interface feels right, working and playing becomes much more fun.

"Give your PC a personal touch" says Microsoft:

They now provide free downloads of themes, wallpapers, and certified gadgets all compiled by Microsoft staff.

By clicking on a theme, it will be downloaded and installed, changing familiar things such as the wallpaper, sounds, icons, and the Aero glass color.

The gadgets are split into two categories: the regular windows gadgets, and the emerging Sideshow gadgets. From traffic maps, to a PowerPoint remote control, they've got a decent selection in there. The best part? They're all Microsoft-certified.

Hopefully in time, they will allow further customization of the themes especially, without patching any files. (Maybe this could be some sort of extra in the best edition?)

For now though, we'll have to live with a wide range of colors, matching wallpapers, and gadgets to go with it. It's a step in the right direction; let's hope it takes us somewhere.
