Natural Desktop 1.2 released

Fixes and more for the popular desktop enhancement program

Monday, January 10, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Natural Desktop is a program that gives your desktop a natural look, feel, and sound to it. First, it changes the wallpaper on your desktop based on the time of day and time of year. The wallpapers were created by Ryan Bliss, founder of Digital Blasphemy. Mason Fischer created nearly a half hour sound track that is based on the time of day. Morning doves in the morning, crickets at night, rain when it's storming. And finally, the most advanced weather visuals available created by Matt Crockett (Tiggz) are displayed.  With tons of settings and the ability to customize the wallpapers and sounds to your liking, Natural Desktop has become one of the most popular programs Stardock makes.

Version 1.2 fixes some bugs users have reported such as saving default sounds, toggling the 12/24 clock, rain and thunderstorm sound effects being in sync with your current weather, quick mute not working, and some animation looping at midnight addressed.

You can get Natural Desktop at http://www.naturaldesktop.com. If you already have Natural Desktop, you can get the latest version via Stardock Central.

It's great! . . . although I'm not quite sure why a Christmas tree is the default wallpaper for the evening of the winter . . . but it looks wonderful!

I saw version 1, it was nice but not something that I wanted to spend money on. I purchased this one. Good job!

I haven't heard of any problems like that. Contact [email protected].  Make sure you tell them what OS you're running.

I paid and downloaded version 1.00. No version shows up in Stardaock central, however. I'm guessing that's why it keeps asking me to buy it...
