[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!
Leave a comment if you like it.
Sounds good. Im downloading it right now. Hope it runs on my P-M 1.7Ghz

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

@paddy you shouldn’t call a laptop connected to an old CRT a DUAL screen. Thats more like 1 1/2 screens
July 8th, 2008 at 11:18 am
OMG!
THIS IS AWESOME!!
but i’d love it more if it worked with mouse gestures
July 8th, 2008 at 11:20 am
@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!

@paddy Test it out and let me know how it works on you 1 1/2 screen.
July 8th, 2008 at 11:23 am
@paddy With this, I don’t need a dual setup. This works just the same. And its FREE!

@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

My google desktop is still on the sidebar which is a good thing!
what widgets does this thing have?
July 8th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Oh and scroll works too!
July 8th, 2008 at 11:34 am
You can’t use it with maximized apps. Just minimize and resize till it fits the screen.
July 8th, 2008 at 11:41 am

July 8th, 2008 at 11:42 am
The widgets part is under development and should come soon. Check the website.
