Not solved. After a reboot, dreams are blurry again.

 

All dreams.

Well, oddly, if I download one from the gallery, and start it by clicking Open file in my browser, it's blurry, and changing dreams from that point are all blurry.

If I then disable DS, then renable it, blurriness goes away.

Is it just dreams that are doing that Jim? Just wondering if your graphics driver is up to date after the fresh install.

Most recent gfx driver from Radeon.  Just dreams. 

I have done the purge deal, it didn't even succeed at uninstalling DS.

Doesn't work.

https://forums.stardock.com/496384/page/3/#3757710

did you install the latest version from your account

not a saved version in one of your folders.

and always do REBOOTS.

Edit..

I have installed klite mega.

One should not need to do that at all for DS...


Nevermind, adjusted something in Radeon settings, all is well.

What did you adjust, RND....?  DS 10.02 was working just fine prior to the reinstall of Win10, and the not needed codecs, yes?


Well, oddly, if I download one from the gallery, and start it by clicking Open file in my browser, it's blurry, and changing dreams from that point are all blurry.

If I then disable DS, then renable it, blurriness goes away.

Can you post video of any of this, RND....?

Doesn't work.

Where do you have DS installed, RND....?

I needed codecs before. I always install Klite Mega.

 

The adjustment in my Radeon settings was a fluke. Can't remember what it was, but the only time the blurriness occurs is when loading a dream from the downloaded file.  Applying a dream from withing DS Config isn't an issue.

The default. C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\DeskScapes10

 

Dreams in Public Documents, as per usual.

As per usual, it won't do it when I want it to. Next time it does, I will capture video.

Nope. I load a dream, blurry. Disable DS, then open DS again, set a dream, it is fine.

 

Working on the video, Sean.

Ok, finally got around to the video.

 

https://www.screencast.com/t/AM9JQkNmrYvY       I get this when I click the downloaded file to install/run a dream.

 

This is how it looks once reapplied.  Happens with all dreams.

 

https://www.screencast.com/t/01uU3sT7C  

 

Dunno why the vid is jumpy, but note the blurriness.

 

The dreams run smooth on the desktop.

RG, the videos are made by Jing, to share. I can't do anything about the format.  Support will see them.

Quoting -RG-,

I am not sure what format Jing uses.
.swf  Sure, I could convert, upload to youtube, then share, but that is a lot of work.

 

Support asked for a video, support will have to find a way to view it.

 

Jing is by Techsmith, makers of Snag It, and Camtasia Studio.  Jing makes the video, uploads to it's servers, and places a link into my clipboard, ready to paste and share.

 

I understand the flash thing. Edge browser asks if you want to run it before it'll play. Safety precaution.

I cant view them.  ShareX is what I use now for video sharing:

Will I need a hosting service in order to share it with you?

You "should" be able to view what I send. You are support, you should have the tools...

I know when Zubaz was in support, he was the one to turn me on to Jing.

 

I don't mean to bitch, Sean, and you have thanked me for helping in the past, but it seems like in order to get support here these days, we the user have to do more and more of the work.

I'm not sure dreams are worth all this.

Ok, got Sharex. Apparently I do have to have a hosting site login. Also, the user interface for sharex doesn't work with the WB skin I have loaded, can't read the text on the buttons, so I can't navigate the app.

 

In order to use this i have to make a login, join a hosting site, change my windowblind, etc, etc.

 

No thanks, I'll just uninstall deskscapes, go back to Wallpaper Engine.

Flash has long since stopped being supported by major browsers is why.
