I think the problem is because this cube effect is now for windows!? I'm only guessing :D

Go To Linux (Don't let anybody to steal your money, LOL)

Working great for me.
Nice effects, kewl options.
Only a few softwares etc.. don't stay in the desktop you have chosen for them but i'm sure it's gonna be fixed in future releases.
We should encourage such a nice project!

It handle dual monitors just fine on my Vista workstation.

another good freeware program gone down the drain. ewww.

btw im refering to the acquisition, the last freeware version is good.

A million years behind the open source (though non-portable) VirtuaWin http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net

Yod'm 3D is not a freeware now...it has been aquired by Otaku Software...

I was poking around in the VirtuaWin sources and you can make it portable by putting a userpath.cfg in the same dir as VirtuaWin.exe and make the first line in userpath.cfg the name of the dir you want.. I just put config as the first line and it created a config dir under the VirtuaWin directory.. Now it's portable.. ~cheers

"Yod'm 3D is not a freeware now...it has been aquired by Otaku Software..."

That's the sad thing about proprietary licensed freeware. For the same reason we want things for free, developers want to get paid.

Actually thanks to instructions given by webfork and ChalkTrauma I downloaded virtuaWin and extracted the files using UniExtractor and guess what it worked fine may be Andrew should add this vitruaWin as portable software in database.

It complains, missing d3d9.dll.
any solution?
thanks

luca: Do you have DirectX 9 installed on your computer?

I'm trying to work out why some things are coming on to all desktops and some i just can't move?

ok i noticed tat for individual virtual desktops, it will create a wallpaper.bmp for each desktops, and kinda waste space.

So in order to use the same wallpaper for all 4 virtual desktop. go to the "yodm3d" folder, open the Yodm3D.ini

replace the original
WallpaperDesktop1=J:\PortableApps\yodm3d\desktopwa llpaper1.bmp
WallpaperDesktop2=J:\PortableApps\yodm3d\desktopwa llpaper2.bmp
WallpaperDesktop3=J:\PortableApps\yodm3d\desktopwa llpaper3.bmp
With this...
WallpaperDesktop1=.\desktopwallpaper0.bmp
WallpaperDesktop2=.\desktopwallpaper0.bmp
WallpaperDesktop3=.\desktopwallpaper0.bmp
All 4 desktops will use the same wallpaper..

Multumesc foarte mult pentru Yodm3.
tank you soo much for Yodm3d.

This works great! Thanks for saving the freeware version.

.Zip is corrupt.

Can only select French for the language - I don't particularly mind using French, because I can speak some French, but I don't appreciate having to download all of the other language files, then not use then!

after ChalkTrauma's tips i looked into VirtuaWin, it now has an option for Portable installation, so after install u copy it, unistall and remove unistallers from now Portable copied version. May all programs get portable

can't someone come up with a free ware other than this yod'm make something better this time don't sell it .. spread it as freeware updatin it....am i asking too much

Not as graceful as beryl or compu in linux, but an outstanding program for windows nonetheless.

hmmm i have seen this before????

yes linux!!!!!! people if you want it but better = compiz-fusion

God i hate when people say stupid chit. we know compiz fusion is cool. BUT allot of us need and want to run a windows machine. so its friggin annoying when sum douche rolls in and says something so retarded.

hmm..cool but. if u all wanna try collection of tiny but powerful freeware you can visit this blog http://exegarden.co.cc try this link.. there's link if you want to straight to download the file

The zip file referenced in the download link is reported by both Winzip and 7zip as not a valid archive.

I downloaded 1 app and now i get the message "Daily download quota exceeded. Please try again tomorrow." Bad non usable site !!!

Well One cannot use the wallpaper in 'Center' mode the wallpaper is always stretched!

This is a cool product - thanks for posting the freeware version! I have a specialized need I'm wondering if anybody's encountered: I'd like to have certain apps "sticky" across all desktops. For instance, I'd like to have my mail tool available from everywhere, and (since I like command prompts) I'd also like the same command prompt available on all screens rather than opening 4 different ones. Thanks!

Actually, I answered my own question RE: additional features. CNET lists a number of free/shareware products and does editorial reviews on some:
http://download.cnet.com/windows/virtual-desktop-managers/

it's awesome...
compiz could be better. but Yod'm 3d spends less resources. very great..
thank u

Yod'm 3D is more functional than compiz. Not as fancy but more functional.

Compiz???? You compare this to Compiz???? You are aware Compiz is a *nix based non portable piece of software? The work that would be required to even get compiz usable in a WinMS env would be rather pointless also.
Learn to make proper comparisons people and use a little common sense

Have two monitors and Yod'm 3D works just great. COOL.

Now wait. All these language files in the folder and the program only operates in French? Why? The language selector only has French available, despite the trillion other language files that came with it. I tried dragging it ONTO the program, I tried deleting EVERY .lng file but English, and no luck. What do I do?

Ubuntu Linux has this type of 3D cube virtual desktop if you install drivers for your 3D accelerated graphics card (ie; ATI, Nvidia, Intel GMA).

For multiple monitors disable the dragging to turn screen

hey why does it only let you use french i cant read french so...any got some ideas they would be much appreciated.

This is a great app for those stuck in Windows, which allows you to separate your work flow and have more apps open to a full screen. NOT "only for perverts" this app adds additional functionality to Windows and is quite appreciated! For those complaining about people making comparisons to Compiz, well do try to understand that these effects WERE available on Linux first, so credit where credit is due...

I still think that it is for perv's X, but you do have a point. It could be handy, althrough I myself usually don't have that much of apps open at the same time.

Please note if the direct link above is not working try these they worked today for version 1.4 though I have not checked to see if it will work yet.
http://download.chip.eu/en/Yod_m-3D-1.4_350642.html
http://www.brothersoft.com/yod.m-3d-download-230729.html

Both require a double click through to start a download.

I see people talking about dual displays. I'm using WinXP, will it work on one monitor while leaving the other alone or it "flips" both at the same time?

Yod'm 3D V1.4 do not work in Windows 7

hey i got yod'm 3d 1.4 and I tried to set up my widescreen background and it will not change. ANyone know what I can do?

@Gmacri Working fine in Windows 7 for me.
Just wish one could scroll through the different screens using the mouse scroll wheel instead of pressing the arrow keys...

I like YOD'm but deskspace is cool, in that... they fix things YOD'm was lacking (6 sides making a complete cube, faster rotation, a background BEHIND the cube, etc) But yod'm is good for free ... Unless you need more then 4 desktops :-P

Hi, in my work, I run a lot of batch actions in Photoshop to process images for web. While the batch process ran, I wasn't able to do nothing with my computer because Photoshop kept jumping with images being resized.

Well not anymore, thanks to Yod'm 3D, I was able to switch desktops and leave Photshop doing its business while I did something else.

I hope this tip is helpful to someone who uses this kind of batch processing.

Cheers!

This is very cool looking but the effects get pretty old fast and it's no longer free. Those who prefer efficiency should checkout other desktop managers listed on this site.
