I’m guessing that they will be charging for that like they do everything else then.

Otaku Software has acquired Yod’m 3D from Chris’Soft and will continue to develop the software under the name DeskSpace.

DeskSpace is still NOT AVAILABLE, but “coming soon”.

Thanks Daniel! It’s always nice to hear about what people find useful, which is part of the reason we wanted to implement the rating system on each article. That way people who don’t have time to comment on every article can tell us how much they like it, and then we’ll know what kind of news we’re looking for.

I know this thing is “useless”, but i find myself making excuses to use it, because it is just so cool. This is a great find, and its stuff like this that makes me come back to this website (blog?) time and time again.

Great hunting Ryan, keep up the great work!

It is actually pretty impressive, my first thought was that it was only going to be for Vista but I definitely give the designer props for making it run on XP as well.

Yeah, the cube is really only for show and tell. I haven't noticed it slowing down my system that much in the past, but I've only tried it in Gnome. KDE is my Linux desktop of choice (OpenSUSE specifically) and I don't have the Beryl stuff installed for that.

Yes, there is absolutely more than the cube in Beryl but that is its claim to fame. XGL and Beryl are both known for their cube because that was the big feature when it was first released. First impressions last a long time...

As for speed issues under KDE, I agree, but on my laptop the decrease is extremely slight. However, I have removed many of the animations as things like the magic lamp effect don’t do anything for me.

I’m not sure that removing Beryl will save an energy, but the intent to conserve is in itself a good start.
