Windows 7 Dreamscene Activator

broken image


Windows DreamScene was a utility available for Vista Ultimate that allowed users to set video as desktop wallpaper. It was dropped in Windows 7, but we'll take a look at how to play DreamScenes in all versions of Windows 7 or Vista.

Windows DreamScene was a great feature in Windows Vista, which allowed you to put videos as desktop wallpapers but unfortunately it was replaced by a slideshow feature in Windows 7. Here's how to get it back.

For example, you could put a live aquarium on you desktop like the image above. Fortunately though, we know just a way to bring it back to Windows 7. No more static cling for your desktop; now your wallpaper won't have to simply stand still, and it can get animated and dance around.

Adding DreamScence Back to Windows 7

We will use a tool called 'Windows 7 DreamScene Activator', the download link is available at the bottom of the article. After downloading the file, extract it somewhere. After extracting, right-click Windows 7 DreamScene Activator and choose 'Run as administrator'.

The program doesn't need installation so it will start immediately. The program's interface doesn't need any explaining, you just hit the 'Enable DreamScene' button and everything is fine.

Now DreamScene is enabled and ready. To use DreamScene just right-click on any video file and choose 'Set as background'.

Just make sure that the video file is .mpg or .wmv because the program supports just those 2 file formats. You can put any video you have on your computer or you can download more from the Internet. Link to the DreamScene videos website is provided at the bottom of the article.

Note: If the icons font color looks blurry, change the background to solid black from personalization then use the DreamScene video you want again.

Windows 7 Dreamscene Activator Released

Enjoy your new Windows 7 DreamScene.

Although it says it is for Windows 7 only, we were able to get it to work with no problems on Vista Home Premium x32 as well.

You can Pause the DreamScene at anytime by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting Pause DreamScene.

When you are ready for a change, click Disable DreamScene and switch back to your previous wallpaper.

Using VLC Media Player

Users of all versions of Windows 7 & Vista can enable a DreamScene using VLC. Recently, we showed you how to set a video as your desktop wallpaper in VLC. Since DreamScenes are in MPEG or WMV format, we will use the same tactic to display them as desktop wallpaper. We'll just need to make a few additional tweaks to the VLC settings.

You'll need to download and install VLC media player if you don't already have it. You can find the download link below. Next, select Tools > Preferences from the Menu.

Select the Video button on the left and then choose DirectX video output from the Output dropdown list.

Windows 7 Dreamscene Activator Download

Next, select All under Show Settings at the lower left, then select the Video button on the left pane. Uncheck Show media title on video. This will prevent VLC from constantly showing the title of the video on the screen each time the video loops. Click Save and the restart VLC.

Now we will add the video to our playlist and set it to continuously loop. Select View > Playlist from the Menu.

Windows 7 a2dp driver download. Select the Add file button from the bottom of the Playlist window and select Add file.

Browse for your file and click Open.

Click the Loop button at the bottom so the video plays in a continuous loop.

Now, we're ready to play the video. After the video starts playing, select Video > DirectX Wallpaper from the Menu, then minimize VLC.

If you're using Aero Themes, you may get a pop-up warning and Windows will switch automatically to a basic theme.

If looping one video gets to be a little repetitive, you can add multiple videos to your playlist in VLC and loop the entire playlist. Just make sure you toggle the Loop button on the playlist window to Loop All.

Now you've got a nice DreamScene playing on your desktop. Another cool trick you can do with VLC is take snapshots of favorite movie scenes and set them as backgrounds.

When you're ready to go back to your old wallpaper, maximize VLC, select Video and click DirectX Wallpaper again to turn it off the video background. Occasionally we were left with a black screen and had to manually change our wallpaper back to normal even after turning off the DirectX Wallpaper.

Windows 7 Dreamscene Activator V1.1 Download

Note: Keep in mind that using the VLC method takes up a lot of resources so if you try to run it on older hardware, or say a netbook, you're not going to get good results. We also tried to use the VLC method in XP, but couldn't get it to work. If you have leave a comment and let us know.

While the DreamScene feature never really caught on in Vista, we find them to be a cool way to pump a little life into your desktop on any version of Vista or Windows 7.
