Freeware Files: Five Unmentioned, but not Unappreciated, UI Apps for your Desktop! - 03/02/2010
Let it not be said that I don't pay attention to the demands of the readers.  No sooner did I wrap up another comparative analysis of three slammin' freeware applications for altering your desktop in new and unique ways then, well, you all talked.  And talked.  And talked. That's not a bad thing, however.  A number of you voiced support for your favorite applications and utilities that you use to radically transform the look of your traditional Windows desktop in some pretty awesome ways.  It would be a shame to let these suggestions languish in the comments thread of an old article, however.  So, this week, Freeware Files is all about you.  I'll be featuring your suggestions for applications and showing people why they should consider your alternatives for giving their desktops a refreshed look. Got it?  Let's begin! 3DNA What.  The.  Hell.  Sorry to be so blunt, and I apologize for offending anyone's sensitive ears.  Let's not kid ourselves, however.  That's the first think you'll be thinking when you go to load up 3DNA, a desktop transformation that takes the concept of a 3D environment one step further... off the deep end.  I kid, but it's just that much of a radical transformation.  Unlike the previously featured Bumptop, which allows you to manipulate your desktop as if it was a 3D cube of-sorts, 3DNA turns your desktop into the equivalent of Second Life. Is it useful from a functional standpoint?  Doubtful.  Is it cool to run through?  Admittedly...
