Make your desktop 3D via Real Desktop!

Hello Humanoids . Hmm ,I am basically tired of people telling me that Bumptop's gonna arrive , its the next big thing and its gonna make your desktop like never before but its been in (invitational )  beta for ages . But my search for an alternative , made me come across this great software :

Real Desktop : Real Desktop gives your ordinary desktop new life and turns it into a Real Desktop. Enjoy the fascinating dynamics with revolutionary graphic rendition on your desktop.

Real desktop has three versions  :


Light  version

• Performance

 

• 3D Sound
• Antialiasing option
• No performance loss when icons are at rest
• Uses very few resources
• Very efficient, thanks to the "Reality Engine"

 Design

•  Reflective surfaces
•  Icons surfaces reflect the rest of the environment

Standard version , for this version you have to spend 24.95 dollars

 

Performance Support for Multiple Monitors 3D Sound Antialiasing option No performance loss when icons are at rest Uses very few resources Very efficient, thanks to the "Reality Engine" Design Reflective surfaces Several wastebasket styles Different themes Icons surfaces reflect the rest of the environment Choose any wallpaper to display as a picture on the wall, which is displayed full-screen with inactivity Different background and icon styles Integrate your own graphics Advanced lighting settings Support 24-hour support Free updates up to version 2.0

Imagine kicking the icons with your Recycle Bin !  Fun , eh ?   Though the biggest problem is lack of customization . In other words , you cant add or edit any damn thing except rotating the icons, while if you spend a buck on them you get tons of interesting features and this is where Bumptop gets ahead of this application , tragic . Another bad point is the shiny blue background , darn my eyes .The graphics don't look so cool ,  this must be an old software but the graphics aren't so bad , but hey we are in 2008 , buzz .   And remember one important thing ,  the activation key can work on 3 PCs simultaneously ! Remember to have at least 512 MB Ram on your Vista and 256 on your XP otherwise its gonna be tough running this thing ! Download Real Desktop from this link    Hope you start having fun with your 3D desktop , Take Care ,
