Deskscape & Battery life????

from WinCustomize Forums

I am running the Deskscape V.2 #106 as a paid user.....I am finding it is very hard om my Laptop batteries.....it cuts it from a little over 2 hrs to a little over 1 hour all else being equal.  It is a Gateway 6750 with a 1.66 core 2, 3 gigs of ram & a 250 gig h/d running Vista home premimum 32 bit...

Is this normal?  BTW I LOVE program & bought a lic. as soon as it was released, now I just want to use it all the time, not only when plugged in.

If you maximize your windows DeskScape should be "paused" and use no extra resources.
If you are making your monitor refresh like crazy with deskscape it will run down.

It's not a function of deskscapes, it's  a function of the monitor needing power to display animation.
