YoWindow Forum

Hey Yo All

First of all I'd like to thank you guys for the great software you've created.

I have been using it for less than a week and I'm already a big fan.

Well, after using the software for a couple of days, I (as many others) wanted to have it as a desktop background, so that we can easily see what the weather is like at the moment.

I did some research and found that it's very hard to do right now due to performance issues.

So, here my opinion/idea:

Instead of showing the actual (flash) animated landscape as the desktop background (which would really demand a lot of processing), there could be only a static picture showing the most recent weather condition. And, as soon as there is a considerable change in the weather looks, the picture would be updated with a new one.

I guess that's much better than nothing.


Hope to hear from you guys soon.


Best regards!

Dear Diogo, the technique you have described is just exactly matches the vision in my head.
Yes, I want YoWindow to be a desktop background.
And yes, most likely it will be a static picture updating once in 5 - 10 minutes.
But the earlies possible time we can come up with desktop background is this summer

Thanks for the nice words, we are always happy to read compliments

That's really great man! I'm really looking forward for that implementation.

By the way, it's already summer here in Brazil, so the landscape is looking amazing on YoWindow!

Well, if I can be of any help, please let me know.

Have a great day!

Thank you

What we really need is publicity.
There must be several popular computer magazines in Brazil.
Can you send them short emails that YoWindow is cool?
This technique has worked fantastic in Germany and Netherlands.
YoWindow has become very popular in these countries after magazine publications.

Sure man!

Great
And please let us know when they write you back!

OK!

In the mean time, would you mind letting us know when there will be new landscapes available and what they going to look like?

I wonder if there's going to be a "city" landscape.

Best regards.

We have decided that a new landscape theme is a secrect.
Here's a sample of work for the next landscape.
Guess the theme

Way to go Pasha!!!

When will the new theme be available?

I'm really exited..

By the way.. I'm waiting for a reply from some magazines!
