Yod'm 3D (short for: "Yet anOther Desktop Manager 3D") is a virtual desktop manager available for Windows 2000, XP and Vista [Lifehacker.com: [http://lifehacker.com/software/virtual-desktops/download-of-the-day-yodm-3d-windows-255448.php] ] . It is not the first program to offer a cube-style virtual desktop management feature on Windows operating systems, but it is one of the better executions of the idea in the Win32 environment.

It is mainly used by XP users to generate desktop management features which were introduced in Vista.

Details

Yod'm 3D maps four virtual desktops to a cube and allows the user to switch between them, similar to the cube plugin for the Compiz and Beryl window managers for the X Window System. [ [http://www.fedoraforum.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=3131 FedoraForum.org - FedoraForum.org Gallery - Beryl cube FC6 ] ] It's the first desktop manager that makes this feature available on Microsoft Windows. Yod'm 3D makes use of and requires DirectX 9 [ [http://vistarewired.com/2007/03/17/make-your-desktop-3d/ Improve productivity with a 3D virtual desktop that allows 4 desktops at once (XP and Vista) | vistarewired.com ] ] in contrast to most other virtual desktop managers that use OpenGL.

It does not require installation to run [ [http://vistarewired.com/2007/03/17/make-your-desktop-3d/ Improve productivity with a 3D virtual desktop that allows 4 desktops at once (XP and Vista) | vistarewired.com ] ] , and is most commonly distributed as a ZIP archive.

Known limitations

Under version 1.4 it's not possible to change the wallpaper for one of the additional desktops permanently by right-clicking an image file and selecting "set as Desktop Background". You have to change the wallpaper via the Properties dialog.

Desktop icons cannot be arranged for individual sides of the cube. They are the same for all sides.

A manipulated version of Yod'm 3D was distributed via xinsidenews.com . [http://www.otakusoftware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=907]
