3D Desktops
Thursday, March 6, 2003 by JLB907 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I am new to the whole DesktopX thing, and wanted to know if anyone has heard of 3DNA Desktop (www.3dna.net), and if this type of thing is possible through the DesktopX of Object Desktop suite of tools.
I think the concept is pretty neat. Maybe it could be accomplished via scripts?
Holler Back,

I tried 3DNA when it first came out. Good for impressing your mates for about a week, but gets real old real fast. I like to try most of the new things that come out in the desktop customization world, unfortunately, most of them turn out to be just eye candy, and rarely last more than a week on my desktop.
Just my opinion..........

Well, it isn't 3D in the sense that you can walk through it, but a theme was uploaded not long ago that I thought offered a nice 3D implementation. It is called 'Cage' and can be seen here - https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?searchtext=Cage&sort=Skin&order=Descending&library=3

BoXXi, I don't have the link handy, but you might want to do a search on "Microsoft Task Gallery"
If you find it, look around and report back with your thoughts on it
It's ugly as heck, but the functionality aspects are intriguing.

Shakey, I like the 'Cage' concept you linked to.
I think 3D desktops have definite potential. I think what would be really good would be Win3D style features, combined with Microsoft Task Gallery methods for handling applications and windows, combined with 3DNA Desktop visual appeal, combined with ActiveWorlds modding ability and community features.

BTW, as far as I know, nothing in Object Desktop can do 3D stuff. It would be interesting to see Stardock try though
