![]() DeskScapes 8 gets its name because it is made for Windows 8 systems. Why the tutorial? Besides just explaining the basics there is one other issue. The good news is not only can you pause your animated desktop you can quickly just switch to a static image at any time saving your precious CPU for when you need it. ![]() ![]() Although that is not terrible, it could constrain your setup if on an older rig. If you want a more accurate estimate having an animated desktop will consume between 6-9% of CPU with an average of around 7 percent. Indeed, I am running it on two Core i5 desktop systems (Intel Skylake) with plenty of RAM and two rather high-end GPUs (an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 and 970, to be precise). ![]() Of course, if you are running a high-end rig with CPU and GPU cycles to spare, there is nothing wrong with doing this trick. There is no doubt that in using such a setup you could tax your system just to make it look fancy. Using an animated desktop on a laptop, older computer, or even a newer one with lower-end specs is probably not the best idea if you are concerned with battery life and graphics performance. The 'duh' moment Before we get started, I should point out the obvious.
