Why choose, video presentations, articles & more

Minimal Requires:
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
Notice:
  • User Access Control set on high level could prevent program from working correctly
  • Program might require administrator rights to work correctly
  • Basic core supports all effects, but can not run properly on some systems due to security problems - using second core is suggested then.
  • To capture composited Windows - with transparent borders - use second thumbnail mode.
  • If You get server reference(...) alike error: UAC AS WROTE ABOVE
Optional requirements:
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 and 3.5 for graphic card accelerated effects
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher for Bastet Desktop scripts and video in Center
Description:
Windows effect and customization engine offering over 58 inbuilt amazing effects like launchers, jelly windows, transparent windows, snow, blurred taskbar and many other (check webpage for more information). As well as advanced repository system for installing, managing and autoupdating 3rd part customization software, NV plugins, desktop scripts, wallpapers and even system themes.

It also offers window border skinning capability, with blurred background, as well as analysing url in search for repository capable media. It can also use native system theme for theming - making them transparent - also with blur possibility.

On top of that it offers desktop grouping & organizing extension based upon Nimi Nici component - showing folders directly on the desktop in realizable, transparent boxes (Nimi Nici browsing component). You can just drag & drop, paste HTML, text, bitmaps to save them as quick notes. (pasted bitmaps are saved as loss quality JPG). Thumbnails for some file types are saved with ".nici" sufix. To ignore folder on the desktop from showing, create "ignore.nici" file inside it.

It sizes ~1mb, many effects use GPU acceleration and usually has 10 mb memory usage footprint - doesn't require installation, can be run as portable and doesn't use registry.
