Just a community info thread. It doesn't need much other than they work well together. I put four images below. This is for people who may wish to try animated desktops.

It is one of very few Stardock apps I own. I do like pushing winstep to see what it can handle....as follows...

The BIG FYI - I ran Cubase with a full orchestral score and more than 64 instruments in audio with the CPU, GPU and RAM working overtime. Then while rendering to a two-track 48kHz audio wav file in real-time which uses a lot of processing, I purposely opened Winstep.
Winstep did not bat an eyelid and Cubase chugged along with the resulting stereo audio having no glitches.

Summary I am yet to find something that does not work with Winstep and it has a relatively small footprint. I did the math for running with Cubase because I looked at the usage. In a 128GB Ram system it used less than 0.03% of ALL resources in total.

Winstep Themes tested:
Scenery
Neon transit
Aurora Borealis
Halloween

Thanks for sharing the resource usage data with Deskscapes and Cubase. Have you noticed any impact on GPU temperatures or micro-stuttering during long rendering sessions?
