Artist's Comments

Solo's Ripple is Pure Desktop Eyecandy!



[edit]Video preview([link])
Wallpaper [link] [/edit]

This app sits in your system tray, and will ripple like a water applet the wallpaper picture, icons and active windows!

You can adjust the timer speeds and save them to your liking, it will recall them upon re-launch.

Ripple stays on the bottom, so that if you have a program in full screen mode it will stay out of your way!

XP and Vista compatible!

This app is Donation ware, meaning that if you like it, it would be appreciated if you made a donation. This is because I have recently become unemployed, and I have to pay child support for my one and a half year old son.

please, if you like this, and are feeling generous, please fire of an email to solo.dev(at)gmail.com for how to make a donation.

Did not install on my vista, error was dealing with the registry. If you would like me to reproduce it and post a screenshot of the error I can do so, also happens if tried in XP Compatibility mode.

Here made you a screenshot, also happens when ran as Admin.... So I am not so sure this is vista compatible

Looks nice, hope you can fix this error so I can try it out.

Nevermind, I got it to work for me, but your installer is broke for sure I get errors on XP as well, about updating files. I say ok and it restarts and says the same thing. However I did just run the app without installing it in vista, so it runs fine. Just the installer needs redone for sure

It would be nice if you could somehow remove the line that separates the ripples and the desktop horizon

Yeah, Not sure what is up with the installer. Maybe you should try a different app to make it. I can extract and run it fine on XP or Vista, but the installer fails on both.

Ya, Line removal would be nice if you could find how or make it optional. If not, maybe only 1/2 pix or smaller then it is anyway. It looks bad on black backgrounds

I had the same installer issues on XP, and what I did was to extract the cab file and then I ran the program from there, maybe a installation program is not even necessary.

yes, the install program is not needed, it is a self-contained app with no external DLLs. i am working on a web installer that will download and install / register only the needed files.

Vista Royale Inpirant by psychoB, i LOVE anything royale Inspirant!

I use StyleSelector to change the skin, because it does not require me to hack the files.
