elefun-desktops Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 The EleFun Company launched Water Lily - the new product in the Animated Desktop Wallpapers series. In this product, we have implemented a perfect combination: excellent picture quality, comparable to a photo, elements of 3D animation and realism. Two characters are presented to you, alternating each other as the day replaces the night. These characters are Dragon-Fly and Water Lily. Also, the new product is accompanied by sound. The action takes place near the lake. Several huge leaves are floating near the stony lakeside. The water is worth particular attention: calm and almost still, it reflects the stones and clouds passing along the sky. Sometimes a dragon-fly comes flying to the lakeside stones. It perches on a stone and sits still, as if waiting for something. But time passes, and the dragon-fly flies away. In the evening, the dragon-fly’s visits become rare. When the gloaming thickens and the water reflects the moon, a fairy flower comes out from the deep. The Water Lily rises to the smooth surface and opens slowly. The product has a built-in Desktop Manager, making operation fast and effective. Downloading, installing/uninstalling, purchasing company products and other options became available in a single program window.Home Page: http://elefun-desktops.com/products.php?id=28Download Now: http://elefun-desktops.com/try/ad_Water_Lily.exe Order NoW: http://elefun-desktops.com/order.php?id=28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datalore Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 How about providing a zip download without an installer? I'm weary of that installer, who knows if it could be bundled with spyware or something. Screensavers and spyware go hand-in-hand.Looks nice from the screenshot, though.

To much trouble to tear apart and inspect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datalore Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Luckily it was openable with WinRAR, and the contents of the zip scared me. Too much for a simple screensaver. Unfortunately the real data was compacted in a .dat file which WinRAR couldn't handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaosratt Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 OK, I was the guiny(sp?) pig here.SUCKSSUCKSSUCKSits noting more than a few jpegs strung together to look animated. I have used animated desktop programs before (trustworthy ones) that actually rendered a scene for your desktop, like a space scene, very cool.I'll have to give it a thumbs up on the little control program though, it allows you to download and install many more of these "animated desktops" right from the app.I'll give it two thumbs down for the astounding 40+mb of memory it and its companion programs hogged down.Uninstalled, exterminated.Ad-aware detected 1 bad registry key afterwards.

Datalore Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Thanks for testing it, Chaosratt, I knew it looked a little fishy. Stupid spam...Scan with Spybot too, Ad-aware may have missed something. You never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
