The BumpTop concept is the same as it is in Windows , which is to say it ’s a 3D sandbox of a regular desktop . image can be set on the floor — the main background airfoil — or any one of its four walls , which can be viewed from the top down , or manoeuvre on . ikon can be stack , literally , into piles which can then be previewed in a kind of direction , and interact with one another as self-coloured object would . If you throw one , it has momentum . If you fox one into another one , they collide .
Execution on Mac feels a bit smooth than on PC , mainly because the multitouch gestures , first seen in the Windows 7 interlingual rendition , process so well with MacBooks ’ glass trackpads . The metaphor is fun , if not immediately practical , and the performance penalisation is minimum — my install tick over at around 1 % CPU use and 90 MiB of RAM after a few minutes of use .
you’re able to try BumpTopfor free , while a $ 30Pro versionadds multitouch support , instant lookup and a few extra motion . As an interesting technical school demo it ’s definitely worth a download , and for what it ’s worth it blends into my computer habits pretty well , to the item that I forget about it until I operate into my background ( which to be honest , does n’t pass a whole wad ) , only to be pleasantly , if slenderly , surprised . But $ 30 ? That feel little steep for what amounts to give a single folder in your OS a makeover . [ BumpTop ]
