The Natural Desktop
Monday, September 13, 2004 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Imagine a desktop where your wallpaper was based not just on the time of day but the time of year. Imagine being able to have background sounds that are based on the current weather and time of day? Birds singing, Cicadads humming, Crickets chirping, and much more all based on what time of day it is.
This and much more is what the new Natural Desktop from Stardock does. A team up with the code developed by Stardock, the wallpapers created by Digital Blasphemy, Widget work by Tiggz, and the sounds by famous composer, Mason Fischer.
With options to control your location, sounds, and more, the Natural Desktop is perfect for those of you (us) that are stuck working in an office environment all day who miss the sounds and visuals of summer.

Where's the newsgroup? I checked the message board, but there's only the one thread there about the Natural Desktop.

You may be correct in the diplay limitation of my machine.
I purchased a computer with onboard graphics and no AGP slot (bad move). The drivers are correct (direct from Intel) - Extreme Graphics 2 for XP pro.
Will be building my own machine within a year, so all these programs from stardock will at least be supplied with plenty of graphic resources including the new PCI express bus.
Thanks for the input.

Tryzub, the sounds are actualy designed to be summery because that was the original inspiration for it - that in the Winter, those of us losers who missed out on the summer because we worked throough it can at least hear the sounds of summer.
So the sounds themselves, are all spring/summer sounds though they do change through the course of the day.
News group is up.
