Enable 3D Desktop in Windows XP, 95, 98, Me and 2000 with Madotate

Windows Vista has a demanding hardware specification for Premium Ready PC that will enable all advanced 3D features that make Windows Vista a worthy upgrade from Windows XP such as Windows Aero glass transparency effect, Windows Flip 3D and Windows DreamScene. However, with some simple utility, you can actually make and transform Windows XP with 3D features from Windows Vista without even upgrading the system hardware such as graphics card. One of them is TopDesk which enables Windows Flip 3D Vista feature in Windows XP. Another tool is Madotate which will transform Windows XP desktop into flippable 3D desktop.

Madotate is a Japanese window manipulation tool which has started to be developed since 1999, and perform function similar to Microsoft Task Gallery which has since stopped development but its ideas may have contributed to the development of Windows Flip 3D. Madotate a button to the standard set of buttons for minimizing, maximizing, and closing windows on the title bar of open windows. The new button, when click, will minimize and flip the window into a 3D desktop space, with its lower half receding into the distance. Other than that, Madotate also allows the flipped or flattened windows with its own title tab to be docked in 3D to the left, right, top, bottom of the screen like stacked transparent glass window panes and or arranged anywhere to your liking.

Madotate freeware works on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000 and Windowns XP, although translucent effect is not complete in operating system earlier than Windows 2000. The bad thing about Madotate is that it’s originally available in Japanese language only at original author Takayuki Shinohara’s site. However, a fully translated to English version has been done and available for download. Both is available for free download.
