Well yes it would be definitely great!

Anand, if this feature will come, can we then load Google Sketchup made models into Bumptop? Would be awsome.

Community contributed 3D models for icons is an excellent idea! And we could draw on the existing models at Google's 3D Warehouse.

In fact, there seems to be one fore firefox already

That's a great idea! I've been really impressed with BumpTop while playing around with it but now all I can think about is how awesome it would be to have a creature from Spore or something walking around my desktop and playing with my icons. Or even something much simpler, imagine a paintbrush laying there for Photoshop, a little foxglobe rolling around for Firefox, etc. So long as it's popular enough (and I have no doubt it will be), the community could supply models for icons without a 3d version

Thanks for the feedback! Although there are many features we'd love to add, our priority right now is pushing out a solid 1.0 release of BumpTop. At the moment BumpTop does not have any customization APIs, but that is one of our eventual goals. Widgets and 3D objects are definitely something people have asked about and we've definitely thought about them for the future.

Will that kind of functionality be supported though? I understand that there are a ton of different icons out there and making one 3D puts the burden of making them all 3D, for the reasons you mentioned, but I'd love to add like a little choo choo train or something to my desktop and I can certainly justify hard disks having shape while the pdfs and mp3s and jpegs being relatively flat.

On a related note, how open will this platform be for desktop mod fiends who like to change their icons and the like? I assume general icons are imported from windows, which can be changed by a third party program like icon packager before hand, but how would you import these 3D icons? Would they just fall under widgits? Speaking of which, will there be widgit functionality and will that be open to community development?

Hi,

We just released an update for BumpTop. Could you check if you still have this problem and let us know?

Thanks!

There is already a topic about this, why do you create a new one?

Can you check to see if the filename of the shortcuts that don't work actually end in .lnk in the command prompt?
