Used Water Desktop for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 7, 2008

This nifty desktop theme turns your monitor into a relaxing, rain-rippled water surface. Water Desktop comes bundled with two background pictures of flowers that rotate on your screen at a user-selected interval. The program's visual effect is quite realistic, making it tough to tell that the onscreen picture is not actually being rained upon. If you do not care for the flowers, you can choose to display your own images. The thunderstorm sound effects add a nice touch, and we appreciate the ability to customize the appearance of the actual raindrops and apply transition effects. The application also can display a calendar that lets you append simple memos, but you can disable it should you find its presence irksome. We should note Water Desktop exacted a hefty toll on performance when tested with an older PC, so make sure your machine is up to snuff before downloading it. All things considered, this application strikes us as a good remedy against stress.

Pros
The preference options are extensive but simple to customize the effect you enjoy. The optional monthly opaque calendar handy. My enjoyment was to use high quality photos from flickr or picassa with a water theme. Beautiful.
Cons
The trial period seemed short but I'm considering buying the product software.
Summary
I am very artistic and creativity is important. That means I can get bored far quicker than most others and static desktop wallpaper gets dull. Most animated or 3D desktop programs are not high quality but Water Desktop is very well executed and the many variables make it professionally developed yet easy to understand for a novice user. One notable option is being able to substitute your own photographs saved on your PC into a built in photo file they created within the options menu which holds up to 5 pix that will automatically transform to the next one based on how often you choose and even what transformation type you prefer (i.e. fade in, swiped in from left, etc.) I give Water Desktop theme my recommendation. Updated on Jun 24, 2009Additionally, the audio sounds (distant thunderclap, light raindrops, light bird chirps) are adjustable. Even the size of the water drops and the choice of fish ripples gliding past are optionable.
Don't make a mistake and download it for vista.
