[quote who="pelaird" reply="3994763" id="541745"] That's actually not a bad thing. It would allow for using a Windows applied background with the Info Pane, and without DeskScapes being enabled. That is unless Stardock doesn't want the Info Pane used without DeskScapes. I'm not sure this situation would survive a computer restart. [/quote] A fair point, I can see how someone might want that. And it does s
[quote who="pelaird" reply="3994757" id="541745"] If I select an image from the Windows Settings, Personalization> Background, the image is applied to the desktop, but the Info Panel remains active. This is why I assumed DeskScapes was still active, but after opening the DS Config app I see DS is not actually active. [/quote] It does seem that in order to disable an Info Pane, you would uncheck where it was first enabled, manually. It doesn't get disabled from
[quote who="pelaird" reply="3994754" id="541745"] Since DeskScapes 2026, the second image in Desktop Backgrounds is always black. I'm not sure why, or if it even matters, but curious just the same.

Hi ppetroff60, and thank you for posting. [quote who="ppetroff60" id="541862"] Hello! How do I change the language in DreamMaker? The program is in English, but other languages are available in the settings. Add the "Languages" folder so I can change the language. [/quote] At this time, DeskScapes 2026 now has the majority of core languages available in our Beta release. However, these supported languages do not extend to DreamMaker.

Hi ppetroff60 and thank you for posting. [quote who="ppetroff60" id="541863"] Hello! DeskScapes 11 had a program for creating .asw files. It had a Templates folder. I can't find this program in DeskScapes 2026. Help! [/quote] Unfortunately, that program is not included with DeskScapes2026. Best regards, Adam McGuinness Stardock Support Specialist
