Who cares for all the glitter effects that can hog memory. It's real use is to organize screen clutter which it does very well. The biggest feature for me is having multiple desktops with different icons and wallpaper, screensavers, etc. Of course that's just one of many features available. Simply put one of the best virtual desktop managers around. My only complaint is that it requires admin rights.

After setup it all worked fine, cool rotating 3d cube and all. But after reboot the plugins didn't work and worse, my desktops were all screwed up (gadgets gone, background changed, screensaver gone etc...). Reloading my profile only made matters worse, flashing desktops, 5sec screensavers and all other kinds of havoc. Rebooted and loaded the default profile, same story.
Luckily I had only to delete the dir and reboot to fix all, portable ftw!
I never had these problems on XP 32bit but now on win7 64bit it seems to be very buggy atm... So if you're on a 64bit sys, be cautious.
Nevertheless very cool desktop manager, used it for years, but I'll have to pass for now.

Just retested this for my own use and this is excellent.
I see an incredible improvement since I last tried this.
I may replace Yodm3d with this.

These days, many graphic cards have a built-in desktop manager which can serve you as many as virtual desktops you like. And because they use their own mother-graphic-board, so they should be much better than other 3rd parties. But I really believe that nobody needs more than 2 desktops. Simple is beautiful.

Just found this here on pfw, AMAZING, great 3D effects and very light. For anyone that does any actual work on a PC there is zero reason to not run this app. Especially great for those of us who walk the line between programmer and designer.

Excellent app. Have used versions of it for years without any problems.

- mozkill,start a vnc session in full screen in one window and you have what you're looking for. As long as the other pc isn't using the same keyboard shortcuts you can switch back and forth no problem.

excellent and FREE program. Best of all there's a x64 version!

Installed fine but when changing some setting it crashes my PC worse than any other program ever managed to... pity, but does not work for my XP64.
