Thread: You can get compiz like effect on Windows too!

Now windows users can get compiz like effect on windows too using DESKSPACE.
Only problem is that it is a paid software . A trial version is also available.
Well , at first I thought Compiz can be run on windows also but some linux fanboys are saying its a april 1st joke so I can't verify it. .I will request windows user to first try compiz. Read all the comments here :-
CyberOrg » Finally Windows users can get Compiz easily!!
Comments are really good & funny.

Deskspace here:-
Otaku Software - Products > DeskSpace: Organize Your Desktop

My graphics cards are not that good will changed them then will show all you can do from it. It all depends upon theme of Compiz/Deskspace configuration done by you. I think look at mine I have changed the configuration. But I can get very advanced configuration on it. :-

Cool ones but can't rep now :-(

I will upload the vids in youtube.

sure that's gonna be nice.

What is compiz ? Is it a tool that make the desktop look like the one in the screen shot ?

To get animation in desktop.

Thanks

There is a free software ...the name was yodomer3d or something similar .... it is not supported anymore
but what i generally notice is that all these slows down your windows system like hell during start up ....better have a lot of ram

deskscape is fine. stardock products are worse

Yod’m 3D is Deskspace now & is not free but there is a trial version available.But compiz doesn't slow down Linux much. I am using compiz in Linux. I have given a link for compiz also but some are saying it 1st April Joke.

Compiz is a 3D desktop effect in linux.

Not only desktop. It gives animations to all features like windows .

Yes, what is the use? any productivity associated?

No, but what is the use aero feature. What is use of themes & you can use like windows 98 themes as there are no productivity associated with other high fi themes .


PS:You can use DeskSpace to get Compiz like feature.

Very cool effects and all that. But you cannot work long with desktop like that. Nice as a screen saver.

I am using compiz on my linux from last 3 years and not in a mood to do anything with windows as its really not possible for windows to handle anything like that.

Nice efforts and thread Luke

People like me working about 15 hrs a day on computer these fancy things never help. This may differ according to person to person. As far as I am concerned and as I use computer for productive things these fancy things makes no sense to me, may be for people using computer for fun can make a difference.

Me? I am as straight laced as you will find.

it is very distracting. i prefer simple themes.

I don't use that much. I use it to show that open source don't mean that you can't have eye candy. Normally I prefer command line. You can get this on windows using DeskSpace. Some people like eyecandies. I also don't play much game except Ogame which you can play from a browser.

I don't play games except chess. I always prefer command line and a text editor to do things as it will give better understanding of the actual configuration. When I was a windows user I fiddle a lot with regedit, boot.ini, etc.

I am not a window user but i found out windows user can have compiz like effects also..

Is this a special effect?

Its present in the compiz ....there are many such effects

There is one where when i minimize a window ,it folds into a paper aeroplane and flies of into the task bar !
