The ads that begin showing up after a few days make it really not worth it either.

I was really excited to find something like 360Desktop, a very simple way to get more desktop space for the basic user. Unfortunately I will probably be uninstalling it. It conflicts with my Anti-virus on boot, so the program will not start when Windows starts. There are only 3 backgrounds I can find, where are they hiding them, and I can’t find where to create my own. I’m very computer savvy, so either they made it so simple I can’t find it, or it’s just not there. I can’t even find the sponsored ones, how will that please the supporters? Also, I tried the widget thing. The implimentation is really cool and works, but the widgets themselves don’t work. Video doesn’t show, web content doesn’t interact correctly, etc. Maybe on the next version?

Looking for this kind of application for a long time, i install 360desktop, begin to change wallpaper, add widget and … find many bugs :
- blocking of my laptop after start of the screen saver
- wallpaper blocked, I cannot change
- RSS links are displayed curiously
- I close my laptop, and when open it, it is blocked

So very interesting application, when it will be free of bugs !

installing 360desktop and used it looks a great idea. however after used for a while, the limitation of panoramic wallpapers (4 all together) didn’t meet my taste. tried to use one of my panormic wallpapers and converted it to dot 360 extension caused the 360desktop manager went corrupted. uninstall and reinstall with a fresh 360 apps also encountered the same thing with 360desktop manager. what’s the work around?

noticed when placing widgets on 360desktop, after restart PC the widgets placement is out of order and need to rearrange. that’s bad.

Hi Taimur, Thanks for the feedback – appreciate it. Looks like we weren’t clear enough with a couple of things – we released with just a couple of 360’s to keep it simple, but will have new 360 content every few days until we release the authoring platform and gallery, where you can make and share your own.

An addition to the bigger desktop, the key feature is that a user can now take any web widget, or any part of any web page, and with a couple of clicks turn it into a desktop widget. You then manage these (show/hide/delete) in hte 360 Manager. Thanks again, Cheers Evan CEO-360desktop
