Great work Koji,

a fresh promising idea for this kind of software. I'm sure it will soon become as popular as WinFlip, ClickStar, and Magic Formation. DeskHedron looks great and the html page is nice.

Thanks Roman

I'm sure it will soon become as popular as WinFlip, ClickStar, and Magic Formation.

I hope many people enjoy this software and reuse source codes.

Cheers,
Koji

I think open-sourcing this was a great idea, and I'm happy to see you've done so. The program is great, and hopefully we'll see other keen people working on the base you've created to produce some groundbreaking new programs!

Thanks Amos

You are right.
Open sourcing was one of the most important task for me at this project.
The source code is not long. And free programming environment is provided from microsoft.
Enjoy

Cheers,
Koji

So, this is just one of way to make this kind of software.

Really great job! Congratulations! No doubt it's in the same way than WinFlip!

I made the sources translation in french, are interesting to compile and distribute a french version?

Hey,

I found a little bug in DeskHedron:

When you exit DeskHedron, the multiple instances of explorer are still running. I had to manually end these processes from the Task Manager.

It may be possible to have DeskHedron take note of these extra processes by the use of PIDs (Process Identifiers) and end them when the application is closed.

Thanks

Hi ryxdp

Thank you for reporting a bug in DeskHedron.

I think you are right. May be the way you told me is possible.
I'd better try it(and I think you also have a skill to try it.)

This is just my opinion.
If something app(s) are still running on that desktop, it can be a trouble.
DeskHedron can't move app(s) to other desktop so the app(s) will lost.

Cheers,
Koji

Heh, well since I know nothing of C++ or DirectX (I only know a little bit of VB.NET), I don't think I'd be able to try it. I could probably find out how to do it in VB.NET (I don't know how to kill processes though, I'll google it).

This is just my opinion.

Yes, I know about this problem, it can't be helped as similar programs like Deskspace don't do it either as far as I know. I guess it's just a limitation of Windows
