Following. Haven't get the beta yet... unfortunately :-(
But the new 3D Desktop looks like a room for me. Whats about adding a window to this room? Okay thats not a big feature BUT now show the current weather outside through this window. VoilĂ it's a awesome feature. :-) You should choose the weather and display of any location based on a big world wide weather page and not just the US weather. Furthermore you should, if you like to, add more windows to see different weather locations. But you should also see the location displayed under or above the windows.
By displaying the weather I mean if its rainy you see the rain or raindrops on the window. If its sunny you see the bright sun, and so on...
This idea cross some seconds my mind... what do you think about it?

If you are not connected to the internet you see roller blinds or close-drawn curtains

And if you want to see the current temperature you should be able to place a thermometer on one of the room walls.
Bumptop won't work with anything transparent on windows XP... I have both rocketdock and windowsblinds with a transparent theme. When I mouse over my dock, it works, but I see whatever was on the previous window behind my dock, rather than Bumptop. So If I just minimized firefox, and bumptop is showing, the bottom bit of firefox will still be visible when I open up my dock, even though its minimized.
A similar problem happens with all my windows with windowblinds. If i can see the desktop, and have a window up (taking up lets say 1/3 of the screen), and I move it around, the image of the window will stay where it was, and it looks like I have two of that window open. It goes away when bumptop updates (when one of the pictures on the wall changes, and when I bring bumptop into focus)
We're currently beta testing BumpTop with the help of a bunch of select users. Thanks so much for all the feedback, if you would like to be part of the beta please be signup at our website! http://bumptop.com/list
