Thanks for pointing this out!  It's a shame the windows aren't anti-aliased.  It has some very nice functionality.  Is it being actively updated?

If it's hardware accelerated you should be able to force antialias in the driver control panel... But considering it's last updated 2004 as far as I can tell, I wouldn't have high hopes on updates...

If you do, it will be simple because there are a lot of programmers who are experimenting with it in Linux as shareware/open source. 

There is no "resource issue" between any of the modern OS's that would make any one of them more or less suitable.  OpenGL, DWM/DirectX10, and the OSX graphics libraries (old and new) are all more than capable of hardware accelerating these operations.

And there will be little or no hit to the CPU, unless the interface uses a lot of physics (like bumptop), but A) modern CPUs can handle these kinds of calculations without breaking a sweat, this is a perfect use of extra/multiple CPU cores, and C) modern GPUs have physics acceleration capabilities now (re: PhysX).

Trust me, ALL of the major OS vendors are working on 3d desktops. 

Nope, superman, that is 3DNA. It is cool, but just a toy. Very cool, and a little resource hungry, but not really something to use everyday. More like your PC in a video game. 

Actually, Both 3D Wonder and 3DNA have the same scrrenshots even at their homepages...

You can make transparent Desktopx objects and use them as icons..

Alright dear,I looked one for you... ActivIcons 3.37. It will allow you to make icon labels transparent, change their color etc. and also save their positions. Also, you can go here for your daily dose. You might get something which you need at some point.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Hopefully someday there will be a truly 3d desktop like 3dna that works well and has better graphics. In the meantime, Madotate looks like a cool program. Im going to try it out.

We'll see...
