Stardock Arvostelua 329

Selection of real UHD content is a bit limited. Video content, especially at UHD is limited, and quality not great. Decent selection overall, but searching the web for content yields a similar amount of static images.

Been using Deskscapes for many years, always enjoyed it, adds some pizzazz to the desktop

stardock heeft leuke apps voor op de computer en de app voor deskscapes heeft mooie achter gronden

The program provides an animated desktop featuring scenes of your choice, and even allows you to create your own.
It makes the desktop more interesting when the computer is actively doing something in the background.

me gusta porque tiene muchas opciones y puedes poner cualquier foto o video como fondo de pantalla

I used Stardock software for a number of years and was overall satisfied with its performance. I had been using Fences for years but felt it was lacking in any improvements or evolving with time - basically it had become static imho.

I looked around for alternatives and settled on Portals by "portals-app.com". At that point if I was writing this review I would have given Stardock 3 or perhaps 4 stars as Fences was doing its job I just wanted something that felt more up to date.

My issues is that since ceasing to use Stardock software I keep getting pestered with email offers from them despite having UNSUBSCIBED many times. Note to Stardock - pestering people only annoys them and will NOT entice them back!

I've enjoyed their software in the past, but Start11 has made my pc unusable, as everything will flicker on and off to where you cannot even get to the settings menu before it goes away. There is no way to contact support of any kind. Absolutely horrendous.

The bottom taskbar is not disappearing.

I've always loved DeskScapes! My favorite thing are the animated backgrounds.

Stardock makes the application Fences which was free when I started using it, but is now a commercial product. It works GREAT and is beautiful. BUT....Stardock wants to use subscription service instead of straight buyout. I HATE subscriptions because you can stop using a product but still pay "in the background), so I will not purchase. IOBIT makes a free Fences...I have it one computer and it works fine. So Stardock, which could sell 1000 of these apps outright are denying themselves all that revenue, because of their sales strategy. i don't buy Adobe or Microsoft products if they subscriber services.

I have played several of their games and used a few of their pieces of software, and overall my experience with them as a company has been great not just when stuff works (start menu software) but also when their stuff doesn't work right (windows blinds). I recently purchased blinds but in the description it was never made obvious that it does not play nice with Eset security, which is what I use. I tried the workarounds in their help section but the blinds software just would not work. I reached out to support, explained my issue and requested a refund. They didn't give me any trouble or even ask for additional information and within 24 hours I had my refund. Great customer service experience.

I only gave 4 stars due to MULTIPLE INCIDENTS of my background not loading on boot-up. All I get is a blank white background and I have to go in and re-select my image several times before the program kicks in and changes the background image.

I believe that, from every software created, there should be a Free to use version.
It would not be complete but, a private version and a professional version.

company that delivers on their promises with friendly support & frequent updates

I bought a game which was advertised to have certain editing tool, the tool never came to the game, they later came up with a tool separate from the game which I wont use. I bought this through epic games and they say stardock needs to take care of this but stardock says f you, you bought this through epic games. I have 2hs logged in the game which I used to try and find a way to fix this. Now both companies are saying since I have 2hs on it its not refundable. So... will never buy from stardock or epic

I've been using it for a few years now and have not had any problems.

I love this. It is up to date, interesting and fun.
Customer service is good. Product works great.

Deskscapes is intuitive, endless possibilities for personalization, and without the resource-hogging overheads desktop personalization apps often demand. Stardock has been at its game for a long time and keeps customer's loyalty by updating relevant components, like Deskscapes, Start11, Windowblinds11, Fences6, and worthy others that play nicely with the latest Windows operating system releases (even Preview and Insider builds) and can be licensed individually or as part of the Stardock Object Desktop suite that brings them all together at a great price point. The Company listens to its customers and pays them back with quality software and games discounted for loyalty. It should stand as an example to others.

This a great addition to your desktop, adding video support to desktop images as well as support for separate images/ video for multiple monitors.
