Besides touchscreen, 3D desktop is also a way to make the Mac desktop better. BumpTop, the famous 3D desktop software from Windows, has released the Mac version recently. Free and pro versions at US$29 are available. I have played the Pro version for a few days and it changes the way we think about the OS desktops.
It takes a few minutes to wait for the BumpTop to load. The 3D virtual desktop runs smoothly on my old 13″ MacBook. It is not that hard to get started. You can just right click and choose to “pile by type” to make the desktop quickly organized like pictured above. This is may be the main reason to use BumpTop. When you put the mouse near the items, you can easily enlarge them or drag them to anywhere you want. You may also highlight those items to pile them.
After those items are piled, how can we open them? It can be done by double-clicking the item. You may also find the files easily by pressing any keys. It will highlight those items. In this virtual 3D desktop, you can also put the notes or photos on the virtual wall. In the preference, BumpTop allows to set different wallpapers for different parts.
