Thumbs up New Vista Ultimate Dreamscene Wallpaper.


Vista Ultimate users Prepare to enjoy a new Dreamscene background ! This is produced by the Silverlight team. which by the way, is t a new Microsoft technology for creating programs that run in your web browser.

The new Windows Vista DreamScene background - a soothing blue affair with twirlingshapes, like a very low-key version of the Ribbons screensaver. It's not a proper Windows Vista Ultimate Extra, so it's not on Windows Update - you can download it from the Microsoft website.

Microsoft Silverlight “Dusk” DreamScene (standard screen size)

Microsoft Silverlight "Dusk" DreamScene (widescreen)

Place the WMV files in your "\Windows\Web\Windows DreamScene" directory of Windows Vista installation. Then just right-click on desktop and click "Personalize"... In the usual Desktop Background setting option, search for the WMV files and set it.

I think if Dreamscene is installed, then u get the option "Set as background" in video files context menu.

Use Windows Update in Vista Ultimate. If your hardware supports DreamScene's requirement, it will show up in Windows Ultimate Extras group. Just select it and install, quite a big package with all the Videos in it.

I don't think the Videos are selectable as a separate unit, via Windows Update. Those bonus packs come as a single unit of 4 videos I suppose, leaving the default from this:


How nice of them to name the default with a 1337

And no, they are pretty bad, you can notice them loop and they have bad quality. Not worth

What the hell! Why is this Widescreen video 16:9? When it comes to Widescreen on the PC, it is always 16:10....

Umm....not quite. Did you set the resolution properly? Widescreen is a standard which used 16:9 aspect ratio all over.

Well I played it with Windows Media player and it shows me tiny black bars at the top and bottom. Obviously 16:9

But when it comes to desktop resolutions, show me one desktop monitor with a 16:9 ratio...there are none.
