Seeking 3 Dimensional Interface about window showing

Recommended Posts

hey ,do me a favor that i am seeking a software now.

there has been a software called MaDotate which can show a 3D window but not very ripe till now :P

like vista below...do you know some software which can simulate the style when a window showing.often we can use xpstyle or windowbinds to beautify or theme.although those software is run much memory,i do wanna have a try :)

personaly i think that 3d file managers and stuff like that (some of them at least) can look good in movies, but didnt see one that would really raise the functionality... ussualy they lower it a lot, and that kinda makes applications like this pretty useless from my pov...

thx,i do visit your link above which looks rather like MaDotate(if you have used).but the same problem ,it is not really a ripe product,not perfect...even when you used that,it is a little clumsy...what i wanna use is a natural effect. :)

SphereXP on the second link is good, or rather the best I can find and know of for Windows XP already. It requires the least memory among the others, however it still takes up quite some.3rd-party of such is definately giving those clumsy effects. They can never produce a 100% natural and smooth animations and transitions because they are actually running on top of the current Windows Explorer. Hence actually both windows explorer and the 3D file managers are running at the same time. Priority is always given to windows explorer by default. So the clumsy effects of the 3D file managers will stay. It's just how much clumsy can it gets. I think SphereXP is great itself for being a free one. Though not totally bug-free, it's resonably good for use.So give it a try.. You will like it..

thanks a lot again :)i'am sorry that i did not notice the 2nd link you gave above...like what you said,because any manager must run base on windows explorer,no perfect software can work effectively in fact.by the way,i have downloader that wma about java new desktop system,which is really cool.we are waiting for that project look glass's coming. :Pi will have a try that SphereXP later.

What's now added is the new LiveCD of Slackware Linux preloaded with Project Looking Glass. You can now fire up the LiveCD and enjoy the wonders of 3 dimensional desktop without reinstalling your current operating system.
