Developer’s Description

By Dark Matter Deployments

Turn your desktop environment into Wonderland.

Splinter is a real-time interactive, still imagery in motion driven desktop interface. Splinter takes hotlink-able, still images and allows you to "splanimate" them so they appear to be pre-recorded and frame by frame animation, though they are, actually, just still images "opening". It does so using 3 sets of variables for the "splicons"(the still images that splanimate) The three sets of variables, for both starting and ending locations, are the x and y screen position, the x and y pixel size of the image, and the rotational value of the image, from 0 to 360 and allowing for 20 full rotations. With these three sets for both starting and ending locations, still images can be made to appear as though they are in motion as you would see them in the physical world. It combines the 5 most commonly used/most popular desktop application functionality genres: File Launcher; Icon Docking Station; Stack Docklet; Wallpaper Flipper; Visual Style Editor. It enables the creation of desktop wiki databases, becomes an interactive storyteller, it is a game and a game maker, an educator, and allows for the creation of "Spli-Sites", which are web page front ends, artistically blended into your desktop environment, yet just as able to access the same information that any web page could. Since all imagery within Splinter, is actually still png files, occurring in real-time, any and all "splanimation" is always and forever, editable, by anyone, at any time.

Pros
The user interface is very welcoming, vivd and a lot of fun, especially because it is fully customizable as promised by the vendor. The ample features you can work with in Splinter will not only make changing themes and flipping through real-time wallpapers fun, but easy to use too. There is virtually no limit to the kind of customization you can do, ranging from a laid-back living room virtualization to an adrenaline packed MARVEL superhero/Call of Duty desktop. Pretty damn cool, that.
Cons
Lagging on computers with lower specifications is a common trait in desktop customization software's, but, unlike other desktop customization software's, Splinter does not lag on a computer with lesser specifications. So, No Cons there.

Pretty dang cool. Splinter does what it promises. Nothing more, nothing less. That being said, it is obviously one of the best customization software's out there and anybody looking for the same must, MUST try this out. It will do nothing short than amaze you.

Pros
Too much to name. Everything
Cons
Scaling is not enabled but the author posted on a forum that it will be put into the next version release
Summary
No question that this is a new standard for desktop interface applications. With its simple process of manual image placement and hot linking, nothing imagined seems hard to make happen with real time interactivity.
