Hello!
I've had this problem for a time long enough to not remember when this all started, and I guess I finally lost too much patience.
I run Deskscapes on my laptop and I kept noticing whether I boot from battery power or switch to battery power, if my dream is still running, it will continue running. When I right-click the desktop during battery mode, the option to pause deskscapes disappears until I return to AC mode. Is that normal? Even the "dream paused" notifier pops up while the dream is still running (the program is lying to me...*shrug*). At least Deskscapes achknowledges whether or not I'm on battery power.
However, I noticed that while running dynamic dreams like the "water dream," the dream would actually pause when on battery mode.
Help will be greatly appreciated!
