Editor's review of Water Desktop

4.0 stars
""

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.

"Don't waste your time over this.."

by Camille2006 on February 17, 2006

Pros: The Calendar and the Memo Pad are the only things worthwhile from this product. But the font is too big practically takes up half of your screen. If your looking for something better than this, go to their official site, and you can find other useful downloads.. just not this one

Cons: There is no point in downloading this. The thunder gets annoying after a while, you have to "learn" how to customize the wallpapers.. it doesn't function properly anyway. Don't waste your time over this.

"Realistic effect."

by bryram32 on January 21, 2006

Pros: The water effect is quite realistic if you have a good graphics card. The thunder is a nice touch as well. I have the free version now but am considering upgrading to the full one.

Cons: Don't really find much use for the calendar and memo pad.
