With the calendar ticking over past the 2026 milestone, we are kicking off the new year with a bunch of betas including a big update for DeskScapes 11.
In beta now, which you can download by logging into your Stardock account and clicking the beta link under downloads or from Object Desktop Manager, are more than three dozen new effects in the update app.
Once installed, click any of the backgrounds that you want to apply the style to, then click Effects on the left and you will see more than 150 total designs that include the more than three dozen new in this beta release.
Listed below, you will find all the new items and in a future update to DeskScapes 11, we will make it easier to search and see what items are new – let us know your favorites or any styles we should add to the app.
