Natural Desktop
Tuesday, June 13, 2006 by JillUser | Discussion: Personal Computing
I don't usually blog about computer related topics. My hubby does more than enough of that for the both of us I felt compelled to write about Natural Desktop though.
I am one of those people who can't function when there is silence. I usually have the radio or TV going in the background when others aren't up and about making noise. Last week my boys had left Natural Desktop running on their computer and I heard wonderful sounds of birds chirping when I got up in the morning. I enjoyed it so much I didn't bother turning the radio on.
Throughout the day and night Natural Desktop changes sounds according to the animal noises and local weather. The other night there was a forecast for scattered thunderstorms so I got to enjoy the sounds of the rumbling of thunder and the pitter-patter of rain. I love it! I highly recommend it too!!

Thanks Island Dog! Pregnancy brain prevented me from giving a link in my blog. |
No problem.

The one thing I wish it did was change wallpaper throughout the day like Alladin's Sundial did.
Spend the day in paradise without ever leaving your desk with Sundial 3.0, a fun, relaxing way to tell time! Sundial is across-platform desktop wallpaper that displays a 24-hour scenic photography sequence on your computerĂs desktop. Available in two collections, California or Hawaii, each Sundial volume contains 24 hours worth of images from 10 breathtaking scenes, over 300 high-resolution photographs in each collection. Sundial's scenes change every 5 minutes and are synchronized to the current time, so you can enjoy the day as it slowly progresses. Using a state-of-the-art software algorithm, Sundial adjusts each movie sothat sunrise and sunset coincide exactly with the actual events outside your window, every day of the year. Having Sundial on your computer is the next best thing to being outdoors! |

That would be nice. I also think a "tropical" expansion would be nice also.

Zubaz and ID, I'll note your suggestions in case we do a "new" version in the future. |
I really like Natural Desktop, I hope there is continuing development on it.

First, start a new forum thread. Be polite.
Second, email support@stardock.com they'll create a case and get back to you (it's the weekend, don't expect an immediate response)
Third, email sales@stardock.com for a refund or partial refund.
In the meantime, you can try for help at irc.stardock.com
Good luck, and be cool. I have ND and it works fine!
