Now, my opinion may be taken for poorly here on my opinion of the new BumpTop Desktop. I normally use my MacBook, but I decided to install BumpTop onto my PC and give it a whirl.
After installing I kept getting a popup message saying that “TexHelper.exe” has been shut down. You know one of those standard Windows BS messages cause it can’t do a damn thing correctly. That comes up once every 5 seconds being a pain. The refresh rate, is my second big thing, everythime I try to drag anything around I see the lag in the dragging and as I have Stardock installed eveytime it refreshes I see it blink rapidly, the refresh rate. I don’t have a brand spanking new computer or anything but I think that an application like this shouldn’t be slowing my PC down to a crawling pace.
Customization is also a difficult feature to find, I’m tired of the simple blue background.
On a more personal note, this has nothing to do with the application itself, is that I keep a clear desktop. Therefore, BumpTop doesn’t really appeal to me because there is simply nothing on my desktop to pile, or put on the walls of the BumpTop, all those nice little fancy features BumpTop was made for.
I think if BumpTop had a “Lite” version it might do it good as far as running on older PC’s. Which Note: My PC does have great qualifications as far as a dektop goes, built it myself. I would just like to see it run smoother on my PC. If you have any tips for me to do that, I will be more than happy to try them!
