I have been seeing an awful lot of people running the DS beta in their screenshots for the last 3-4 months and as a registered user, I was curious when the new version will be out.

Any news?

I am very excited for this update as well, especially as a registered user.

There was a macthemes.net feature a while ago which displayed many images of the new version. It looks great!

I have it running constantly, its great for use at school, since I can lock my PowerBook in a single keystroke without having to put it to sleep.

damn - I'm curious now. DS plus is a fundamental part of my OSX experience. I'd love to hear what's new here.

I'll jump in here and say what's new more or less

- It's rewritten from the ground up, maybe 1% core code is the same
- There's a desktop picture manager that does iPhoto, color variations, personal albums etc
- There is a choice of 6 great transitions which are used when you change your desktop (requires a capable Mac)
- You can now drag pictures right from your browser to the menu item to add them to your collection, and there is an URL format with which you can add a desktop to your collection with a single click (like deskshade://add?http://macrabbit.com/stuff/MintyFreshDesktop.png works wonderfully for me now )
- DeskLock and DeskMovie have also been rewritten and revamped
- Lots of other smaller stuff which makes life more enjoyable

And, it has a new icon

If you don't mind, I'm going to use a well-known expression :: I want it now
