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
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.
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.
it WONT delete please help... it wont leave and now my computer is being slow, im following what you guys say but the flowers are still there and im getting tired, it was nice at first but now its not working out for me can someone help me
if you clicked "yes" on a question to start the desktop meadow on system startup, you can only now uninstall it and then install it again and not click to start with the system
oh wait nvm on the microsoft settings i found the area where i can enable and disable apps from running on startup. i found the desktop meadow there and i disabled it it stopped running on startup
wouldn't a better transparency solution involve just having the actual assets be transparent over the inbuilt windows "transparent" color; in order to avoid the transparency overlap currently present?
I did a poor job of explaining this so I'll leave an example.
Current system:
Each sprite utilizes the inbuilt windows transparency system. When an overlap occurs the faux transparent pixels overwrite opaque pixels.
Proposed system:
Each sprite is stored as a transparent PNG overlayed over a background of the faux transparency to produce a more accurate effect. Is the current windows transparency system too inefficient to achieve this without significant overhead? Also do you have devlogs available? i would like to make my own desktop gadgets at some point. Thank you, and please ignore my username.
Not a bad app, love using it, personally I am an animal lover and seeing 8bit creatures on your desktop plus windows is beautiful to see. I run this app on me gaming laptop (Asus Tuf Gaming F15) safe to use, even virus scanned it to be sure and McAfee anti-virus said it was all good, so that's a win-win for me.
(Usually everything I download, I virus scan it to be sure that it doesn't have virus in the files, even if it is hidden and can't normally be detected by a typical anti-virus program.)
I also tried out desktop goose and even modded some silly sounds and images into it, kinda fun to use lol.
I downloaded this maybe half a year ago, I deleted it because it was making my computer run slow, now even after deleting i continue to get bug reports and a pop up saying how to use it, i deleted the samperson files the main files everything, but I still continue to get these popups.

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

Is there an macOS version ?

desktop meadow keeps running on startup how do i stop it
if you clicked "yes" on a question to start the desktop meadow on system startup, you can only now uninstall it and then install it again and not click to start with the system
oh wait nvm on the microsoft settings i found the area where i can enable and disable apps from running on startup. i found the desktop meadow there and i disabled it it stopped running on startup
do you get messages if your pc is off
PLEASEEEEEEE MAKE THIS FOR MacOS
In a virus website it says that haves a trojan, and the security is 1 of 10
maybe it lies
windows defendesr says the same
is there a quick way to turn it off just in case like esc for the goose
1. Go to minimal tray
2. Right click on the pixelated flower
3. Click exit
i LOVE the mail birds, be on the look out for a letter signed "nething"!!

Can you make it for Mac, please?
the creator of this created both an asshole and a peacful thing
it's probably a tall order, but if you could add linux support i would be extremely gratefull!
the meadow should get more lush the longer it is active
were macOS ??????
ik

I have the same problem, to the point where I've thought about factory resetting my computer. I really hope it gets fixed soon.
Your GPU is going to fry while running this thing for a long time.
how to close it without restart?
Task manager
Or right click on that flower in system tray (or "Hidden Icons" (idk how it's named)) and "Quit desktop meadow"
I would love an update that has multiple monitor support <3
MAKE A MAC VERSION RIGHT NOW
i cant use it
why
how do you send letters
you can do that by going to the hidden icons on your taskbar on right (that up arrow) and right click the pixel flower and "Send new letter"
