PLS UPDATE TO MAKE A NEW VERSION
why's the name got OLD in the title now???
is there a new version?
THE FUCK I CANT DELETE THIS
uhoh
bro you have to task manager to stop the desktop meadow in background processes, then you can delete it
ME TOO
I installed this a couple of years ago and went searching again because I really liked it (but my computer was soooo old it wasn't playing nice with it).
On reading I notice the servers are down. Is there a way we can get them back up so we can enjoy this nice piece of software again?
Hello, do you think one day it'll be available on Mac?
he has mac and windows version on desktop goose, so why cant he make a mac version of the garden meadow
Maybe because he is busy and might want to drop the project? Probably
oh you are maybe right
NO CAUSE CAN SOMEONE ACTUALLY HELP?! WHERE IS THE DUMB LITTLE MENUUU I CANT FIND IT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR 10 MINUTESSSSSS TvT
It's really interesting, but I can't upload messages, and I can't get letters from other people. * Can you try to fix it? * ?
can you make this opensource at least or release the server software so we can self host or smthing :((((
Would be nice
why does it says [OLD]
I hope the servers come back online
I wish the servers will blossom again. :3
I just found this after a couple of years. I hope the meadows bloom again.
server troubles :(
server trouble? was hoping for cute messages -- and I can still see the flowers in fullscreen. that was the only appeal for me really so kinda sucks :(
i installed it because of the fun postal bird idea, but for some reason it says there is server trouble. No funny messages I guess
Would you be able to make a release for Linux?
Would LOVE this as well; although I get the feeling it would take a lot of time and energy to get it ported and continuously maintained (especially considering none of his other projects indicate that he has any experience with Linux).
It's definitely not a replacement, but if you're interested in cute desktop toys like this, (in case you don't already know about it) you might check out "Oneko". It's a program that adds a little cat and/or dog to your screen which follows your cursor around. That said, I've had mixed results running Oneko on Wayland.
Hi! Loving it a lot! I just found some kind of bug when running an online emulator; the mailbox and the flowers sprouting from the taskbar show up when it's in fullscreen mode, at the same spot when viewed on the desktop.
Best regards!
(I'm on Windows 10.)
i cant quit it.. help me
it said when you first opened it but i dont know either lol
can you please make a Mac version? I love ur work by the way.
this window keeps bothering me since i last uninstalled desktop meadow. please help me get rid of it
0/10 doesnt work on wine
This application would be great mixed with Sonic Windowszone ngl.
im getting a cant connect to network error?
Opens on my main monitor, is there a way to open it on my second? Or Both.
I would prefer both.
i accidentally clicked "yes" for if the app should start with my pc, now i can't stop it. how do i turn it off again?
if you still need help;
open up Task Manager, go to the Startup tab and find the program. Then you can click on it and press Disable and you should be all good.
The app broke then was fixed and now broken again. By which I mean I keep getting the "shoot and darn" message but no others. I really miss this and hope it gets fixed soonest. Baaaa...
I've been having some trouble connecting to the servers lately... is the app kill?
me too, :(
ADD A MAC VERSION
hi, so i have a problem uninstalling desktop meadow,
so, when im searching something, i saw desktop meadow. and i'm very excited to try it, so i decided to install it and i got surprised. everything transforms into a beautiful meadow, so in a few weeks later. i decided to uninstall it from my computer and shut down my computer, when i open up my pc later, desktop meadow is still on my computer, i'm so confused so i decided to uninstall again but still here after the reboot, I started to panic until i decided to uninstall in programs (x86), but when i deleted desktop meadow in programs (x86), it's still here. AND FINALLY... i decided to uninstall on programs (x86) so once i reboot my computer, desktop meadow is finally removed and uninstalled my computer. Thank you for reading.
I installed it just to try it, i deleted it and it won't go away
make a Mac version
can you make a mac version
hello guys, i have uninstalled both desktop goose and desktop meadow. but i keep getting this everytime i start my pc. can someone please help me?
in the right hand corner of your taskbar there should be a tiny arrow pointing up click on it then right click the flower icon and click exit
i have the same thing happening to me and nothing is working
To remove desktop goose hold "esc" if it is there, then remove it from your files, that should do it
So heres one thing, This broke both of my monitors after having it for a month or 2, There could be a virus so I'm not downloading this again, Both the monitors don't work, I had to get a new pc completely fresh, I ran out of what to say here
This did not break your monitor. I'd call this "coincidence" but you even said that your monitor broke a whole month or two after you installed this, so it's not even related. There is nothing in this program that remotely has the technical ability to break a monitor.
my friend stuff like this is mostly a trojan, i didnt download much stuff, the only stuff i downloaded was steam, [a lot of games but i removed them from my desktops] it did break both monitors, ill try this on my mac laptop then might keep you updated on what happened
considering i used a lot of different antiviruses on some of my monitors, yea its definitely a trojan
Antivirus doesn't run on your monitor, it runs on your actual computer. You seem to be under the impression that a monitor can execute code through display cables.
Just to let everyone know, I'm pretty sure itchio has regulations in place to safeguard against trojans etc. Sometimes systems mistake something to have a virus as it runs on homemade code and whatnot. It's not like the creator made this from something else, they had to grow it themselves (haha funny pun). Plus this creator has made loads of other stuff so they're pretty credited to their cool work.
- I think the closest 'Trojen virus thing' on itchio is Super Catto Boi or uh another horror game as they open up apps and code without permission and make notes etc, that kind of tech horror like sonic exe, but even then they're not malicious or anything. Just annoying at times.
Yeah I agree, I talked to a app dev and he said the thing that makes anti-viruses and stuff like that go off saying things are trojans is just the code used to make a "exe." file. That's what makes alarms go off inside your computer but all it really is, is a false positive.
Is there an macOS version ?
It's common for software licenses to prohibit decompiling and reverse engineering. This is often to protect intellectual property rather than to hide malicious content. If they wanted to share the code freely, they'd open-source it. That doesn't mean that all closed-source programs are malicious.
im not getting tired
