Answer» Hope this is the correct forum to post this...
Anyway...a while back, I found this awesome 3D GUI called the 3DNA Desktop.
It's supposed to work seamlessly with the standard Windows Desktop.
After checking out what others had to say and the system requirements, I downloaded it. Found it to be a "resource hog", however, after upgrading, found it to be awesome!
I did a search on this forum for 3DNA, but couldn't find anything, unless I didn't go back far enough.
I just WANTED to post this to see if anyone else has tried the software and to get user opinion.
As of today, I still have it installed on my system. Every once in awhile, I launch it when I get bored with the standard Windows desktop.
If anyone is interested in checking it out, visit:

I'm looking forward to seeing some feedback about this...Yea i Tried it , i got it free with My MSI 5600, but when i tyred to upgrade it they Told me that The Bundled Version was like a Demo. it didn't say that Anywhere!! but i thought it Was a bit of fun alright ever since i Tried it iv wanted the Full Version , but getting a copy has Proved Evasive..
I liked the Idea, Ive wanted to Try more of them Ever Since , but Every 3d desktop Ive tried has Paled in Comparison, one Feature i thought was Missing was a 3d File Explorer. I wanted to walk around my Computer Panboy,
Thanks for the reply...
Well, if you've got $30 to spend...go to the site and order it. You can still download the demo, but the paid version is much better...more worlds, dynamic skies, and you can lose those pesky ads.
I've researched other 3d interfaces as well. I can honestly say none of them measure-up either.
Again, thanks for the reply...Thats not Generally how i go about Acquiring software >.>Should've known better...LMAO!!!I guess I'm just a boring guy. I just use the desktop as a way to get to the programs I use, so default boring background SOLID color works just fine. Most of the enhanced desktops I've seen are pretty much like tattoos - flashy without substance or risk.I must confess I am left wondering quite how much to sneer... But Mark put his thoughts so much more nicely.
I want to know faster ways of doing things, and if anything makes my computer less reponsive, it's gone. Comes from using a PC almost exclusively for work, alas.
I do remember the days when I would install the latest whizzbang and go "oh, wow, look at that!" but these days I find looking at the stars much more exciting. Wallpapers and screensavers are two categories of products that were quickly jettisoned.Its True theres nothing practical about the Interface 3DNA Offer, its just Fun. but the Idea is to GIVE the user a more immersible Feel whit their computer.
I do think a 3D file Explore could speed things up tho, all this double clicking and Reading Text Drives me mad, i always leave my Folders in Icon View as i can Spot the Icon i want faster than i can read the Text.I use this file management product called PowerDesk whidh allows you to cick ONECE on the file and then view it fully (picture, text, whatever) in an adjustable pane that I usually keep at half-screen size. Very handy product!GX1_Man,
Will check out the PowerDesk program...sounds interesting.
Following up on the 3DNA post...
I appreciate all the feedback. Like I said, the program is awesome if your system can handle it, but I never really intended to pass it off as a "replacement" for the Windows Desktop. It's basically, just another way of working with Windows with "bells and whistles". I still have it installed (*censored*...I paid for it...might as well), but most of the time I find myself using the standard Windows Desktop. Every once in awhile, I get bored...launch it...and have a little fun...I'm entitled...and yes, easily amused.
Going to my 30-year class reunion this weekend. Just gave away my age...no biggie. I've never been to any of them. Looking forward to it, but not looking forward to the drive there and back (11 hours each way...hate flying).
Hope all have a great weekend...I'm sure I will.
