My Desktop Alive Reviews

It is cute when it decides to work. From time to time it seems to not respond or freezes. It won't let me change the options like clicking on the animal roaming ect.. And why will it not show my desktop and incons like in the video? It just shows a black background. I think it needs more work.

Pretty cute. I thought I would prefer the aesthetic pack but really I found the animals far more interesting. I now have two gazelles on my desktop. Their names are Bob and Charlotte. I love Bob and Charlotte.

just something fun to do when you are bored {also i got this when it was free and now you need to give them money sooooo.....}

I bought this for a discounted price (less than two bucks) just for fun, 'cuz i'm a simple man: i read "dinosaurs" = i buy stuff. Well this is my first non-game in steam and i'm not disappointed at all. Just remember to turn it off during your pornhub session (i will never forget the judgment in the eyes of the tyrannosaurus rex) 10/10 WILL TRAUMATIZE DINOSAURS AGAIN

this is a new version of an old idea i remember many programs similar to this in the 90's and early 2000's so i had to pick this up to give it a try im happy to see some one doing a modern version of this idea the program so far is fairly priced and fun to mess with its being worked on and things have already improved sense i got it

You have to have Steam open as well as My Desktop.Its cute for a few minutes but gets in the way of gaming.I personally dont worry about resources as i have a well built PC. Not quite what i expected.

Looks great. Has potential. But. Can not go across multi screens. Only works on main screen. Need to include backgrounds. Only one animations pack active. Can not choose water creatures pack or other packs. Only animals are available . Don't know why.

great concept, difficult / kinda annoying / not-entirely intuitive execution. It's fun to play around with, but I feel like I spent a lot of time not getting the effect I'd hoped for. User error? maybe. if there's a way to add objects from multiple DLC packs, or add to an existing preset, or bring up the main menu without losing all progress you've made, or having to readjust a preset every time you load it, I haven't quite figured it out yet. I had fun, but didn't feel like I'd accomplished anything or spent my time as well as I could have doing something else similarly creative.

Yes, cool, if you like these kinds of things. Doesn't take up much memory - around 33 MB, as far as I can tell. It's still a little buggy. Things don't always behave as you might think. Needs much more - should have an option to relocate the "header" bar or make it disappear perhaps. Should have an option for "always on top" or not. Not bad for a couple of bucks. Hope you develop it more ...

I didn't notice it in the video/screenshots but the title bar is always visible and on top of other windows and their title bars. That is surely a deal breaker for anyone who runs apps full screen (even briefly) or wants to use their computer in any way. All visual elements are always on top so they cover up what you're doing. There also doesn't seem to be a way of saving the state, so each time you run the application, you start with a fresh slate and need to add/position/setup elements again and again. There is also no alpha blending done, so the edges of all the elements are pretty jaggy. Nice idea, bad implentation (so far)
