Turn your MAC & Windows Desktop in 3D with BumpTop

BumpTop is a cool little addition that can make your Windows and MAC desktop a little more organized and 3D. BumpTop makes the items on your computer’s desktop more like their real-world counterparts. Icons and folders are assigned a virtual weight based on the amount of memory they take up and their importance to you. You can move them by click-and-drag, or fling them across the BumpTop space. The program determines their importance based on how often you use them, but you can also alter that by hand. In a way, BumpTop takes the “Cover Flow” concept to the next level.

Stack items to keep them organized, flip through them as you would a photo album, sprawl them across the desktop arbitrarily, or order them in staid grids. Circular wheel pie menus make options a mouse flick away, and the 3D “walls” make for fast posting to Facebook, e-mailing, and Twittering.

BumpTop is fun to use, and its piles could help organize an unruly desktop. But it uses a fair bit of memory–about 110MB on my medium-powered test laptop–to maintain its 3D display, and will also use a good amount of your CPU when you move items around.
