Inappropriate?When I zoom into the photo frames the image is poor and low quality. I know you would like to save resources but when I'm not doing anything tedious I would like the high resolution pictures back.
Create an option in the 'settings' to generate specified quality thumbnails.
Might as well provide a warning of the extra use of resources.
I’m annoyed

Inappropriate?1. The most major annoyance for me is not being able to lock icon positions. They're always moving when I grow an icon or a new shortcut is created on the desktop. I like to have things stay where I put them.
2. BT should come with an option to switch the function of the "CTRL+Right-Click" command. It's annoying when you right-click and then realise you're in the wrong menu. I'd like the normal Windows right-click menu as default and then hold down CTRL for the Bumptop one.
That's all for now... -
Inappropriate?1) Way too much CPU used by BumpTop when completely hidden
2) Icons on the wall dropping slightly after being clicked.
3) Sticky notes should be resizable by hand (almost unusable as of today)
I’m disappointed
-
Inappropriate?1) No Mac version (yet)
2) The Crumple/Fold from prototype missing
3) I would like the pie menu to allow for rollover branching. Use case described below.
Narrative:
When the pie menu appears and the mouse rolls over more if the user pauses with their mouse over the more menu it will roll out and reveal what is listed there. This could also be used to allow deeper menus in other areas while still only making the user click once.
Example:
User clicks and holds.
User lassos a group of 5 files
Pie menu appears
User (LMouse still) rolls down to the more pie menu segment
User pauses for .5 seconds (amount of delay can be changed in settings)
Pie menu -> More menu expands
User drags (LMouse still) down to 'Send to'
User drags (LMouse still) over to destination listed
User releases left mouse
I’m excited

Inappropriate?when starting the program I first make sure my start bar hides itself otherwise I won't get a full screen bumptop (I have windows vista and I want the start bar to be transparent, it just looks a whole lot better). not hiding the start bar before launching bumptop makes the transparent area of my start bar display my old and non-bumptop wallpaper. this is very annoying.
the problem now though is that it's very hard to zoom into the lower wall is as you have to double click it and with me it now hides under my start bar... a free camera would be nice
also being able to choose the font size of sticky notes would be nice or that it automatically increases when you enlarge the note
I’m sad

You can remove your start menu by auto-hiding it in windows, that way you get full screen BumpTop! -
sorry didn't mean that, I meant that the taskbar [I think I got the wrong name before] doesn't use transparency to display bumptop but displays my old wallpaper, even though bumptop is running -
Inappropriate?Just started using it, like the concept, but a few things are putting me off. Here are the top three as requested:
1. Icons sliding down the wall, very annoying.
2. The "More..." option not being very intuitive. Idea: Left Click and hold on the "More..." option, the most used commands slide down, while still holding the left mouse button down, you mouse over the command you want and then release the left mouse button to engage. "Most used" could be chosen by user preference.
3. Images are not "Loading full image" when it says it is, still low ress.
I’m undecided
-
Inappropriate?1) 2) Is there a function that will arrange the desktop by type (grid i guess, not pile)... gridding all icons puts them in some random order... what sense does that make for usability if they all shift randomly?
.... like in the right click menu for windows? I really just want it to clean up my desktop for me, its a lot of work to select, move, pile, etc... when it could just animate them all into place.
3) Is there a setting to line up icons better? When i toss 5 things on a wall, it would be nice if they were all aligned horizontally so that it looks organized, and not sloppy messy, and it's a pain to do it by hand every time
... i think it is one thing to be randomized and playful, but a fine line between that and good usability.
I’m lost in my messy desktop
-
Inappropriate?1) Images don't load fully when in slideshow mode (they stay pixelated)
2) No video support
3) When there is a pile near a wall, and you go to grid mode, the grid box gets crazy near the wall and pushes all nearby icons away (with incredible velocity), making a mess in the desktop.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Bumptop is a great program ! Nothing really annoying (exept current crash bug after waking up, but i'm sure it'll be fix ;)
for me the 3 "annoying" point are :
- no widgets
- no thumbnail previews for pdf, and office files (on XP at least)
- can't change some desktop icon (recycle bin, default icon for all zip files...)
-
There are some widgets already available for Bumptop. A temporary place to find them is HERE: http://widgets.indakind.com
I am working on a new site for it so bear with us. -
I tried the weather thing...can't get it work... -
We have an installer for it now and no complaints yet. So it should work.
