Windows 11 Home.  Deskscapes version 11 21H2./ OS22000. 832.  build I have ONE monitor.  I used to have a different image for my wallpaper and an animated background for screensaver .  Now I can't.  And I cannot use screensaver to show you a screenshot because as soon as I go to do that the apply background options disappear.  And what does my scaling have to do with my issue?  

What version of DeskScapes ( that's windows info above )

On the Deskscapes app click on About for version .

and when you say screensaver do you mean Dream ?

When I oopen the app there is no 'about'.  also, it just shows as backgrounds..., but if I open website...it shows as a Dream

When you open the DeskScapes app is this what you see ?

If you click on settings you get a pop up of more settings and the About option .

Nope.  The last item on the left is 'pictures'

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please post a screenshot of what your Deskscape configuration windows look like please.

I know how to set it up;  I've used it for several years.  My problem is now I cannot set a different background for my desktop from my screensaver.   It is using the SAME downloaded background for both.  On my pc settings I have a different picture I want to use for the desktop from MY photos.  I used to be able to do this, and now I can't.  

Can you post a video of your issue so we can see what is your issue and understand it better.

Thank you,

No, I cannot as it opens up a separate window that is NOT a chrome window 

I open my settings on pc, go to background and select MY picture.  Then I open deskscapes and it shows NO currently applied background.  So I then choose the animated background I want for screensaver and go through that process.  Once I do, not only is it my screensaver, but is showing as my background, too.  That is all.  Nothing else unusual happens. I know my tech, and I have done this process for YEARS! My settings on PC are the same.

If you want any further help need to know what version of DeskScapes

your running , you say you know your Tech , so go to your setting and 

find About and get us the Version of DeskScapes .

The latest version is DeskScape11 BETA 5 is that what you have ?

or are you still on DeskScapes10 ? or 8 or what ?

Again you say your a Tech guy , when you open the DeskScape app

it opens on your Desktop , make a screenshot of that and post it back here , please .

Yes...because I told you in the beginning that I had Deskscapes 11 . Deskscape app does not open on my desktop. It opens as an app. Seriously, you don't need to try to dismiss me as not knowledgeable.

OK, So I can guide with the right link ..

Do you have Object Desktop suite of apps.?

Or do you just have a Stand  alone version of the DeskScapes app ?

and Yes DeskScapes opens has an app on top of your desktop .

Can you go to settings ( About ) and see if you have DS11 Beta 5 ?

Thank You , I'm not trying dismiss you I'm trying to get the right info so

I can help you , your the only one who has ever mentioned an issue like this.

So it helps us to understand the issue by getting correct info from you .

** Also Win11 has a new update out today that may or may not help the issue 

is your Win11 up to date ? What's your full version numbers now ?

BTW...I jsut realized I had to renew OBjectdesktop, which I did, and that won't activate..  Should I purge ALL of your products and reinstall, because NONE of them are showing that I have a current subscription.
