DesktopPlant

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 them during that time.

Main Features:
· Amazingly realistic growth (realistic plant development depending on water, fertilizer, environmental parameters, etc.)
· Random effects will guarantee that each plant is unique.
