Well, since the L4D Official Wallpaper aren't that great, i decrypted then converted the L4D Menu Screen video to the DreamScrene format.

I hope you like it, it supports Widescreen screens

I Hope you Like it, Cheers

Oh, Thank you CS Nation for featuring me in the news

Fucking win thanks!

I wish I had vista

DAMN YOU, ULTIMATE!

I Can convert it to Gif too, altough 256 colors. <3

Is there any way of getting dreamscene on Home Premium?

But that wouldn't look good. Bah it's okay. I don't NEED it.

this!

This, is the only reason why I would ever get vista.

You can get it on other versions of vista if you google it , i can't say anymore

(I am on vista home premium)

So wait. It's only for Vista?

FFFUUCK.

And this guys

is why

you don't flame vista :D

Wait.
If you made it a GIF how would I get it to be animated on my background?

Fucking Vista Home Ultimate or whatever.

I want the regular Ultimate. Fuck.

Well, for anyone without Vista/Ultimate, I believe that there are some LiteStep skins can play videos on your wallpaper

LiteStep? Is that some sort of shell? Because I don't need another shell...

Edit:

Yayyy

Haven't you been reading what i have been damn posting?

http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/inde...howtopic=13105

What. Me? I have xp...

Oh me oh my.

Have a hug.

I've installed Dreamscene on my home premium, do I just download and right-click or is it hidden away in the start menu somewhere?

Edit: Damn that looks nice.

I've had this for a couple of days now but I didn't want to share it becuase I'm an ass.

Sir, I do believe that you have just won the internet.

Can I have this in a video file format so I can use it on mac via Save Hollywood? Preferably like a minute long so the loop isn't noticable.

Edit: Whoops it's a video already

I'm using XP and it works, but when I make it loop it loops at 14 (6 seconds before it should) and it disappears when it loops.

Oh sure you're.

Alright, now how do I get this piece of win as my wallpaper?

Download, right-click and 'set as desktop background'

Fuck yes!

Any reason i get 'Page cannot be displayed' when i try to download?

..Nevermind.

How do I "set as desktop Background"?

Wow this is great, I'm glad I have Ultimate. The only problem is the grainy filter; if you turn it off in options does it turn it off on the main menu? If possible could you do a grainless one?

Edit:

I don't get it, do I HAVE to run as administrator?

I installed it without doing so, And I can't find where to download the L4D background from. Do I need firefox or something?

It's not there :(.

I have home premium and I still use Video backgrounds, THANK YOU REGISTRY CHANGERS!

Doesn't work for me.

No option to set as background.

This is fuckin' awesome.

Edit:


Do you have Vista?

Do you have the Ultimate Edition?

Did you install the optional DreamScene update?

For fucks sake, can someone tell me how this thing fucking works?

Edit:

I used the patch that someone posted above and it doesn't seem to work.

Looks Horrible and stretched.

Couldn't you possibly make it less stretched?

If you don't have Vista Ultimate, you can't expect it to work.

Edit:

I.e. do a proper wide-screen (16:10) version please.

Preferably 1900x1200.

I have Vista ultimate, I don't see the "Set as desktop backround" When I right click. I tried installing the patch to see if that helped, but it did nothing.
Halp D:

Don't install that patch.

That's a hack for those without ultimate.

It should be an available optional update for you (look for DreamScene).

I have Vista ultimate as well, but i can't find anything at all on my computer to do with DreamScene.

I tried searching both my computer and the Help and Support with no results at all.

Go to the Left 4 Dead Demo folder and find the gamestartup1 in the sound/ui folder. Now make it repeat when it's playing and it's perfect.

You can do this without Vista's rubbish.
1. Download VLC media player
2. Play File and put on loop
3. Right-click on video and select DirectX desktop
4. ...
5. profit

Make it into a Dream file, beings Stardock's DeskScapes works on all versions of Vista.


Anyway, thanks for the dream. This is quite awesome.

6: Deal with high CPU usage and general lack of support.

Haha oh those sad people still using Windows XP.

I agree. Sad, sad people.

I'd rather not downgrade to Vista.
Just because of the annoying as shit look, really.

I'm happy.

How could a person be happy with XP when they could be using Vista or Windows 7? Enjoy your laggy video background on XP, while me and my Vista can run it with a minimal 10% drop in RAM and a 2% drop in CPU.

Enjoy your no Dual Core support.

10% is pretty high actually... I think I'll keep my static background. Though I do admit if there were no performance issues with this I'd jump on immediately (if there was a way to use dreamscene on XP, that is)

When I run the .bat file it doesn't work. It can't find where to put the files.

10% is not actually that much, seeing as I barely use any in the first place and you have to factor in all the other background stuff running. Although I do have 3GBs of RAM and most people only have 1.

Oh my video background you're talking about!






I'm still happy. :)

Eh.
Windows 7 supports this shit too.
I'll just boot up my 7 partition.

Note the lack of Ultimate Extras.

For one, it ISN'T Windows 7 Ultimate.

Er...

It kinda' is.

You seem to be in luck today, good sir.

This is so awesome I might shit my pants.

Fuckin' thank you! I've been looking for a replacement for my crappy waterfall background!

Um, I got a problem.
I installed the crack and now the Personalization page says "The page failed to load".

I am using Ultimate but it seemed that I didn't have Dreamscene.

Can't we convert it into a gif then put it as background?

Yeah... the early patch does that. I'm not sure why he kept it in the first post, but if you go to the bottom of the first post - THAT is the one that works and doesn't corrupt your personalization page.

What I did - I went into my Windows / System32 folder and renamed the "themecpl.dll.original" back to "themecpl.dll" and deleted the other themecpl.dll. If you don't have a "themecpl.dll.original" then I don't know what to tell you.

Shit, thanks.

This seems to be a Dreamscene hack for Windows 7 users.

Anyways, thanks OP but I made my own. The quality on yours isn't the greatest and it has consistent stuttering throughout the video. Thanks for the idea though. :)

How do I download it then?

Save Target As ain't here.

Uh.. I Don't think that people will pay 19.90$ only for playing Dreamscenes on all Versions

Also make a Release of your Dreamscenes with the .wmv format.

How do you make it only to appear on one single screen. Because mine has 3, but only the lowest part of the upper one, and the top part of the lower one?

How the hell do I download the .wmv? When I click the download link it just takes me to a tab that has Windows Media Player in it and it plays the video.

I can't install it because apparently the DLL's are being used by another process.

This is the only reason I hate vista. Because of this "being used by another process" BULLSHIT.

I don't care what's using it, it shouldn't matter.

Wow this is awesome.

To all you guys having trouble, bad luck. I have Ultimate and love it. I seriously don't know why there is so much hate going around for Vista.

Replace *** with our favourite () file hosting site.

You can use this in XP if you open it in VLC and somewhere in the options there is a way to set the video to your desktop background.

Help please.

Right Click > Save target as

I'm not using the Left4Dead backround. I made my very own for the first time.
It is Gandhi fading in and out flickered.

Uh, here it is:

Thanks for that. It's the most epic background I've ever had
