BumpTop Desktop
If you’re interested in computer desktop software, or how metaphors apply in software interfaces, or in “cool” programs that wow your friends … you should check out BumpTop. The bad news is all they have is a slick little demo video, and unless someone hires them to continue working on it, there’s no guarantee this [...]
DeskOps Beta 3
DeskOps is a desktop application that allows you to view multiple folders as “bands” on the desktop, but it doesn’t force you to go to the desktop to access these bands.
