Desktop Effects

Snow effect
Fire effect
Video wallpaper
Photo Slideshow
Desktop scribbler
Underwater wallpaper

Description
Desktop Effects is an application that ads special effects to your desktop. Forget the boring static wallpaper, but use a dynamic Photo Slideshow to your desktop. Use your desktop to scribble notes on it.

Effects are simple COM plugins, which allow new plugins to be developed quickly in a multitude of languages and environments. Windows Dreamscene, video-as-wallpaper, can easily be made possible writing a small plugin.

This application is a preview, and will expire on 17 November 2007. It might crash explorer.exe!


For some reason, i don't wanna download this...

Hey... I wanted to try this, but why is there and expiration? Is it just because it's a preview? Because your works like AveDesk don't, and they're really amazing.

Remove the expiration and I may give it a try. If you remove the possible crash of explorer.exe, then I will definitely.
