Natural Desktop gets its own news group

Wednesday, September 15, 2004 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

If you don't already have Natural Desktop, check it out at www.naturaldesktop.com. It's a new program that includes a bunch of natural looking wallpapers created by Digital Blasphemy with a sound track made by Mason Fischer with natural sounds and then has software behind the scenes to figure out what wallpaper and sound track to play based on the current time of day, time of year, and weather conditions.

It also includes a really cool animated weather portal (there's nothing like this anywhere, you have to see it to believe it) that displays the current weather and lets you control the various options in it.

Anyway, because it's been so much more popular than we had anticipated, we've decided to open up a Stardock news group for it: news://news.stardock.com/stardock.naturaldesktop. On there, you can post questions, get support, make feature requests, etc.  Since it's becoming so popular, we are definitely open to adding more features to it over time.

Yeah... that animated weather portal is increadibly realistic and detailed.  Tiggz is amazing.  He always makes his DX stuff shine.  This one is special, though.  Really really special.

ummm... I don't know if this was asked before but I want to buy this for my friends. Do they have to download DX to their systems for this to work?

It would be nice to be able to toggle the portal off and on. Especially for those of us still using smaller monitors. Otherwise great program

Too bad the program only works on Windows XP, guess there are not enough Windows 9XRebelWIL or 2000 users out there. > >

Two things: 1 - readme file is empty. 2. Wallpaper has to be changed manually. Other than that it seems a fair value for the money. Maybe when there are some additions and Version 2 bug fixes, I'll be a little happier.
