you should try shock 4way 3d. it has more effects than yod'm and it is free. i hate how linux has all these cool effects for free but if you wanna customize windows you have to pay an arm and a leg for it.

whats beryl
Feb 4, 2008. 5:23 PMJazzmanSA80 says:
Nothing wrong with giving the same functionality to XP/Vista users as well. I love Beryl, but I have to boot XP pretty often, and this lets me keep my XP and Linux set-ups as similar as possible in terms of interface. Unfortunately, it looks like the download link is broken.

Take a look at shock 4way 3D. You get the same features plus a windows vista areo efect, a grid efect, and a wavy cube efect all for free. To find it, just google Shock 4way 3D Have fun
Jun 10, 2009. 8:45 PMstormer1127 says:
hey cool this is free and almost as good thx
Aug 13, 2009. 9:22 AMCrail says:
stupid question (probably) can you use shock 4way and yodm at the same time? (different quick keys)
Aug 14, 2009. 12:43 AMibuildcoolstuff says:
No, it is a good question. I am sure you can ( if that is what you want to do). You would just have to make sure it did not use too much of your system memory and you would also have to make sure you had a seperate hotkey for both
Aug 15, 2009. 9:20 AMCrail says:
just tried it. Some problem with managing the desktops. Ie: you will lose what you had on one desktop if you switch back to the other.

Just use Linux... Hoo Rah 4 Compiz Fusion! Windows is just a user-friendly virus anyhow.

I tried this, but your download link seems to be dead. It says "410 Not Found" and says that the server can't be found.

Cna this be easily removed from the computer?
Feb 9, 2009. 3:19 PMibuildcoolstuff says:
Yes Simply go to add/remove programs in control panel and remove it

This is so cool...i've tried it....but the website you gave has broken links... here is the workable one...http://www.brothersoft.com/deskspace-download-67177.html ....(note: the software was renamed to DeskSpace...and it is trial)
Jan 6, 2009. 6:05 AMOpen Revolt says:
Yod'm 3D is now called deskspace. It isn't freeware, but it gives you all six sides of the cube, instead of four.
Dec 30, 2008. 12:00 PMgarrett10 says:
how much memory does it take up?
Dec 15, 2008. 1:34 PMxanderperson says:
this is pretty cool

Thank you borge I got it!!!:)

This is pretty insane, it looks cool. Even though I myself do not like Windows Vista because of more bugs and stuff, it just looks cool. This is a nicely done Instructable.
Jun 17, 2008. 2:46 PMGrey_Wolfe says:
Same here on the Vista thing. Only reason we have it is because XP 'wasn't available' for this model. Dell's way of scamming you out of a few hundred dollars because you've got to pay extra to get enough RAM to run Vista smoothly. What a rip-off.
Jul 18, 2008. 10:07 AMRedgerr says:
ohh lame! i built my computer so i ordered a set of xp to go with it-- costed me like 50$ more but i HATE vista lol... you can allways downgrade if ya want lol :) thats what most of my friends did when they got vista :O good luck with vista lol
Oct 22, 2008. 3:58 AMlopez8675 says:
vistas good, you just have to know how to use it

Is some of this site down? I went there and although I was allowed in, once I tried to download, I got this:

410 Gone
Vhost 'chsalmon.club.fr' Not Found.
