Really nice app. I installed it on my laptop, adds a lot of personality to a windows homescreen. I also installed it to my desktop workstation, and while it does work fine, it does not scale well to a multiple large monitor environment. I have (3) 27″ screens, it’s much less pretty.

If is not posible to view the desktop’s icons, then this application is not so interesting.
