DeskScapes 10 Release Version

Can't!

Published on May 1, 2019 By RedneckDude In DeskScapes

Guys, support, I simply just can't run the new DS 10. My main monitor blurs every time I change a WB skin primary screen only, the other 2 stay fine. If I'm not running a Dream, all 3 screens go black when loading a WB. None of this happened before going to the DS beta 3, then the relese.

Honestly, I dunno if it's DS or WB.

Ok, uninstalled DisplayFusion, rebooted. Main screen goes black after applying a windowblind. Secondaries running a dream.

After things turn black, what does it say for the WallPaper key at this registry location : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

C:\Users\puter\AppData\Local\stardock\deskwall.bmp

and if you right click on deskscape.dll in the deskscapes install directory it has a signing date of when?

RND, Neil wanted Deskscape.dll (singular) not Deskscapes.dll (plural).

There were 2. So, SHA 1 ^^^

And below is SHA 256.

Sorry, I thought Neil's was a typo. lol

I get confused between Deskscape.dll and deskcapes.dll myself. In hindsight I would have named them a little differently!

OK. I installed ds 10 over beta3. Wrong. Uninstall DS b3. Run purge. Deleted all references to DS. Rebooted.

Installed DS 10. Rebooted. OK. I did however deactivated DS as a service. Now the only thing wrong is after rebooting is when I right click on desktop I get a blank white screen. Then I go to MY wallpapers and set as Background.

Guess I'll have to live with this. DS8 never gave me a Blank white or black desktop

Why did you deactivate DS as a service? It MUST be set to enabled. Otherwise DeskScapes will only load on a right click and if you have Fences may well cause the two to get upset with each other.

I can click on the context menu, & the start menu icon and DS starts without the service

I re enabled service. Now when boot or reboot my screen comes up white. Also, when I disable DS the screen is white again.

We may have found an issue we believed was already resolved.

That said, if you apply a dream, then do a skin apply with WB, likely get a black screen, can you use DS to apply to each monitor individually:

Yes, If I open DS config, click apply to monitor 2, it resumes as normal. The 2 secondaries were already fine.

So, I continue to do this until the next release?

Well, thats is at least a temp work around. It will get fixed fixed soon, however. It already was at one point, I tested it and it worked. Just not sure how it got unfixed.

Thank you for your help.

Guys. I have disabled DeskScapes. Using windows to apply a wallpaper. Loading a WB now makes all 3 screens go black wallpaper.
