Lol - I have it DL'd and am tempted to try it out on Win7x86-64 - but there is a small rant going on about how, for once, Windows needs very little in the way of 3rd party apps to actually look good....

And I agree. Still, though, this seemingly 3D app may make me look at Windows in a whole new way.

I haven't used the desktop to pile up things at all- Except for some default shortcuts it is always bare.

The reason is that I never look at Desktop: My wide-ranging file-collection is organized in deep folder hierarchies. So usually x2 is the screen I look at, with multiple SETs of folders set to show me different parts of my interest. I access them directly using "folder groups" shortcuts. Then I can launch different files; each taking a few days to read.

Or else I launch different applications from the Quick launch toolbar. (These are usually to CREATE new files.)

I cannot think of a scenario when I will be making a fruitful use of desktop.
Am I missing something?

obviously your desktop doesn't look like this, you robot!

i'm not saying that this alternative will have any effect on my organizational skills or if it's going to be even easier to use, but it's a smart idea -- if it works at all

KACK!! I nearly vomited! :twisted:

That's like wanting to pile up clothes on the table, and then looking for a product that helps in this artificial situation.

Why not opt for wardrobes and chests in the first place, which are designed for that very purpose? :)

double-KAACK!

.. and I sometimes call the way I pile things on *my* desk
"the hemorrhoid fling system: everything is in PILES"

You know, there's a perfectly good file manager out there,
published by ZabKat, which can be used to great effect to ease that situation;
but IFF* you read and follow the guidelines in the accompanying User Manual.

*IFF = If, and only if.

you know what they say, "a tidy desk is the desk of a guy with too much free time"

And a busy guy is so because he is forever looking for that one file that's missing somehow! :twisted:

What about searching in that pile, eh?

@ a tidy desk ... -
I confess to being somewhat of a pot calling the kettle black.
Although my virtual desktop isn't half as cluttered as my real one.
viz:

& as for ... a guy with too much free time.
I'm clearly guilty on that count, too.

Heh, there's literally no icons on my desktop... It's X2 Lite for me all the way

(Plus shortcuts).

I love how the zip folder in the middle reads "keygen"
