Video demo of new Dynamic Dreams.

Note:  It's difficult to record HD video of the dynamic dreams.  These small previews might appear slow or jumpy, but they are completely smooth when being used on the desktop.  It's just a limitation of video software.

Update for Neil:  I have found that your new algorithm for handling multiple monitors with Moving Wallpapers works GREAT with multiple monitors on the same display adapter.  It is very efficient with dwm.exe cycles.

However, it still suffers from the same problems as other dreams when working with monitors on another/second display adapter.

In those cases, it is still preferable to run two or more separate instances of Moving Wallpaper, one per monitor, in order to optimize the hardware acceleration per task per monitor (layman's description).

Because of this, I am now running Moving Wallpaper, Photo Dream, and Desktop Collage on a single desktop comprised of three different 30" monitors using two different display adapters and the (NOT state of the art) machine is VERY responsive - and stunningly beautiful!

You are the man.   :thumbsup:

Very nice! Even though there seems to have been a small slowdown on releases of quality skins, like when Kol switched to a Mac and has never been back (Despite in my personal opinion BEST OS X Tiger WindowBlinds), this is something be truly impressed by.

I know that not many have 3D monitors yet (cost plus wearing funky glasses), I would personally spend the money to buy a touch-screen 3D monitor, if Stardock would release a fully HD touch 3D interactive desktop. Even owning a license for the next year of Object Desktop, I would gladly pay extra for something like that.

Keep up the great work everyone. I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with next.
