Welcome to DesktopPlant - a revolutionary program which brings life
to your desktop. Plants grow directly on your desktop and need your
care just like a real plants!
In contrast to other virtual-life programs, which require a
standard window, your DesktopPlant will grow directly on your
desktop (above a selected wallpaper but below the icons). This
means your DesktopPlant behaves like a wallpaper itself, except
that you can resize and move it. To interact with the program,
double-click your plant to show the plant dialog. In this mode
you can change size and position, care for your plant and change
the program options.
Your DesktopPlant grows whenever there is unused processor time
left (when your computer is idle), so you don't lose any
performance during your normal work.
The included demo plants have already been growing for some time
under ideal conditions and will gradually die after approximately
one more week, no matter how well you have taken care of it during
that time. DesktopPlant will display a message when your demo
plants begin to die. If you purchase a license, you will get a
plant with no limitations (nevertheless it can die, if you don't
take good care of it).
All information about how to use this program can be found in the
manual, which is accessible by pressing F1 or pressing the Help
button.
