[Freeware] Unlimited Scrolling 360 Desktop is here!

- Abhimanyu Vatsya -

Freeware application 360desktop turns your Windows desktop into a 360-degree virtual desktop. Using the application’s unobtrusive slider, 360desktop scrolls around a cylindrical, widget-enabled desktop until it returns back to the start. As of now, you can’t yet use your own panoramic photos or the BITS 360 panoramas as your 360desktop wallpaper.

That said, if you’ve always been interested in organizing your workspaces with virtual desktops or extending the size of your desktop but haven’t found an application that fits your likes, 360desktop might be worth a look. 360desktop is freeware, Windows only.

This is like a million times better than Windows Vista Aero (which I don’t use) or OSX Expose. Its just fresh out of the oven so it has a few rough edges, but if you have a decent rig, this will totally give your PC the edge!

    Sounds good. Im downloading it right now. Hope it runs on my P-M 1.7Ghz


  2. Abhimanyu Vatsya says:

    Keep your fingers crossed!


  3. Angad says:

    yeah toes too!

    @topic did you mean “Ultimate”?? or is it really “unlimited”?? coz i thought a 360 is limited to 360degrees…. but then my polar coordinates are all messed up


  4. Angad says:

    Why dont you partner with these guys?


  5. Paddy says:

    Hows it gonna work on my dual screen set-up?


  6. Angad says:

    Download finished! brb


  7. Angad says:

    @paddy you shouldn’t call a laptop connected to an old CRT a DUAL screen. Thats more like 1 1/2 screens


  8. Angad says:

    OMG!
    THIS IS AWESOME!!

    but i’d love it more if it worked with mouse gestures


  9. Abhimanyu Vatsya says:

    @angad It does work with mouse gestures! Make Slide pan sensitivity 10 and make slide speed slow. Move your mouse to the extreme left or right. And watch magic happen!


  10. Abhimanyu Vatsya says:

    @paddy Test it out and let me know how it works on you 1 1/2 screen. :P


  11. Abhimanyu Vatsya says:

    @paddy With this, I don’t need a dual setup. This works just the same. And its FREE!


  12. Angad says:

    @abhimanyu

    wow! it works!

    here is when it doesnt pan: when you have many windows at different places and you maximise one of them and then click on another app on the taskbar. try it


  13. Parag says:

    Oh my god!
    this is soo cool…


  14. Angad says:

    My google desktop is still on the sidebar which is a good thing!

    what widgets does this thing have?


  15. Angad says:

    Oh and scroll works too!


  16. Abhimanyu Vatsya says:

    You can’t use it with maximized apps. Just minimize and resize till it fits the screen.


  17. Angad says:

    hehe thats what i did..

    what about the widgets?


  18. Abhimanyu Vatsya says:

    The widgets part is under development and should come soon. Check the website.


  19. Eeshan says:

  20. Abhimanyu Vatsya says:
